Pico de Gallo (Mexican Salsa Fresca)

May 25, 2018 by Faith Leave a Comment

Pico de Gallo (Mexican Salsa Fresca) takes just 10 minutes to make and transforms a few ordinary ingredients into a bright-flavored fresh salsa that you can pair with everything from tacos to tortilla chips, or just eat with a spoon.

I can always be in the mood for Mexican food. I love the richly spiced moles, slow-cooked fall-apart-tender meats like oxtail, roasts, and short ribs, and the fresh cheese. Mexican cuisine is a harmony between spicy flavors to excite and creamy textures to cool the palate. And let’s not forget the fresh, bright flavor of things like tomato-based salsa that’s aromatic with cilantro to wake everything up!…

Low-Carb Broccoli Stem Gratin

May 18, 2018 by Faith Leave a Comment

Low-Carb Broccoli Stem Gratin is everything we love about a good gratin; it’s a rich, creamy, and cheesy side dish that you can pair with any number of things, from roast chicken to grilled steak. And bonus, this version uses broccoli stems so they don’t go to waste! Most of us hear the word gratin and think potato. And most of us hear broccoli stem and think toss it. But neither of those are set in stone! Reducing food waste is always a goal of mine, so when I found myself with a pretty good amount of broccoli stems in the fridge, I wanted to […]...

Strawberry Streusel Sour Cream Coffee Cake

May 7, 2018 by Faith 1 Comment

Strawberry Streusel Sour Cream Coffee Cake features rich and buttery cake with a hint of vanilla aroma and strawberry flavor; you can customize it with any kind of fruit jam you like! Even though I eat low-carb most of the time, I always enjoy baking. Spending an afternoon in the kitchen watching ingredients like flour, sugar, and eggs cohesively meld into something beautiful and delicious is like magic (or if you want to realistic, it’s chemistry, lol). When I have houseguests I always try to get in as much baking as I can, not only to feed them well (I’ve been told I feed people […]...

Panang Curry Red Lentil Soup

April 13, 2018 by Faith Leave a Comment

Panang Curry Red Lentil Soup uses simple red lentil soup as the base and builds complexity with inspiration from Thai flavors. I don’t make fusion dishes nearly often enough. It’s easy to get caught up in the grind of day to day life, and in the throes of it, familiar food often takes precedence over creative, artistic dishes....
