For the holidays in 2012, all I wanted was a KitchenAid Professional 600 6-Quart Stand Mixer, and Santa delivered. Well, actually, Macy’s delivered. Along with my new gorgeous mixer, I purchased a few accessories.
While my mixer stood proudly on my kitchen counter for all to see, my accessories were shunned to the back of a drawer, though they were doing all the work. I desperately needed a KitchenAid accessory organization solution.
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.
