In August 2015, my two close friends were getting married to each other. They wanted a semi-DIY wedding, where a number of their friends pitched in for their special day. I had the pleasure of making a simple DIY wedding sign for them.

This Egg-White Chili Shakshuka combines three of my favorite things: egg-whites, chili, and shakshuka in just the best way. Shakshuka is usually a dish with poached eggs on top of a tomato, pepper, onion stew and is a delightfully satisfying breakfast.
However, sometimes my picky eating gets the best of me and my distaste of peppers and egg yolk ruins the experience. In an effort to make a Shakshuka that was perfect to my taste, I decided to make a version without the peppers and egg yolk. To bring more hardiness to the dish, I added kidney beans, which matched the tomato flavors perfectly.
This healthy, filling breakfast is packed with vegetables and healthy protein. It happens to also be vegetarian and gluten-free. By holding the eggs, it can be a delicious vegan stew for lunch or dinner as well. This is a versatile dish that translates across dietary restrictions and meal times. I’m super happy with the end result of my Egg-White Chili Shakshuka and I hope you enjoy it too!
I adore the sweet + spicy combination of Mexican Hot Chocolate. Sometimes when a single glass of Mexican Hot Chocolate just doesn’t cut it, all I want is the rich creaminess of a Chocolate Ganache. With this Spicy Mexican Hot-Chocolate Ganache Tart, I brought together decadent sweet and spicy chocolate in a shortbread cookie crust.
Richer than my typical fare, this Spicy Mexican Hot-Chocolate Ganache Tart was absolutely worth it. I loved eating this tart and only begrudgingly shared it with family and friends.
With my garden flourishing so well this summer and guests coming over for a game night in the evening, I decided to whip up some fresh veggie spring rolls with a peanut dipping sauce.
Using my harvest of mixed greens, green onions, and basil, these fresh spring rolls had a satisfying crunch when we bit into them. Paired with the spicy, nutty peanut dipping sauce, they quickly disappeared from the table. What a quick and healthy party appetizer!
