Kale Power Salad with Lemon Cilantro Vinaigrette

I fell in love with kale salads a couple of years ago and have yet to get over my crush. I know kale may be yesterday’s news, but gosh darn it, I don’t care! So here’s another kale salad to add to the top of the Mt. Everest-sized pile of kale salad recipes that have […]

When you say hamburger here in the US, the image conjured to mind is a meat patty, usually cooked on a grill, served inside a bun, sometimes with a variety of condiments or toppings. When you say hamburger in Japan (ハンバーグ–“hambagu”), the image conjuired to mind is much different—a meat patty that is like a […]

Four ingredients, and one of them is sweet potatoes . . . need I say more? (Plus, it’s never too early to start planning your celebrations for National Sweet Potato Day next February, right?) I love sweet potato fries, but don’t love the clean up, nor the added calories, that come with deep frying my […]

With it being Bastille Day today (the day that commemorates the beginning of the French revolution on the 14th of July in 1789 with the storming of the Bastille), I am utterly nostalgic, thinking of my time spent living in Paris as a college student. Last week I read The Belly of Paris, written in […]
