Green Beans with Garlic and Golden Raisins was inspired by a dish I had at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge called Boma – Flavors of Africa. It’s richly-flavored and slightly nutty with a good balance of sweet and savory.

I never thought I’d actually say this, but these are the green beans of my dreams. There is something oddly satisfying about a giant bowl of these, so much that I can make it an entire meal and be sated (umm, so when I say that the recipe serves 2 to 4 people, I guess that’s really more of a guideline because it’s really just 1 if you’re me).…

I make a ridiculous amount of muffins. They’re the perfect thing when you want to use up a little bit of coconut milk or the last 1/4 cup of a few different kinds of nuts or dried fruit, or if you have an apple or banana that isn’t good for much else except baking....
