The holiday of Pesach (AKA Passover) is upon us. This year I decided to take on the seder classic, charoset. I know I am a little late for a seder recipe, but this will work great for the second days of Passover or really any time during the year. Charoset is a paste traditionally … [Read more…]
I can confidently say this is one of the most talked about recipes I’ve ever made.

As promised, here’s a new recipe to add to your Thanksgiving collection! What better way to ring in a Thanksgiving feast then pulling out a cast iron pan to make my (gluten-free) Pumpkin Cornbread!

Roasted Salmon with Spicy Thai Coconut Red Curry Sauce Yup, we’re here again. That time where we look at our calendars and think, “is it REALLY almost Rosh Hashanah?
