Carbonara is an Italian dish – likely from Rome – that consists of bacon, eggs, cheese, and pasta. Without the fat of cream, the amazing creaminess of this dish comes from egg yolks. Add a bunch of veggies, and even the Italians would say WOW!

“There is power in numbers.” Google this phrase and you will see results covering everything from MLK speeches to Egyptian uprisings to Biblical references. In my little piece of the world, it mostly means FEED A LOT OF PEOPLE.

Chicken Salad with a Taste of Mexico
I seem to be hooked on cumin right now. There’s something perfectly suitable for warm weather in the nutty, earthy, peppery taste of cumin. It’s not an in-your-face flavour, but packs a little heat in a nicely subdued package.
Savory Cauliflower Waffles
I have a new BFF in the morning, and a large portion of my diet has been altered. What has prompted this transformation? Cauliflower waffles, of course!
Herbed Croutons
What is the best way to top a salad or bowl of homemade soup? CROUTONS, of course! Using those final slices of a loaf of gluten free bread allows me to enjoy croutons without regret.
