You know how when you move, all of your possessions seem totally frivolous? You just look around at all the billion things you have to pack and think, really, why do I need all this? I always end up throwing stuff away with reckless abandon. And that, my friends, is how a dumpster diving expedition is begun. On moving day, my mom held up 4 little pieces of metal that I didn’t recognize....

What is ‘Banoffee?’ Meet one of Englands favorite sweet pies (pronounced ba-noff-ee). This is an easy, classic banoffee recipe that looks worthy of a good bakery dessert. If you look at the name, it’s essentially a portmanteau (a word blend) of banana and toffee and the name is now in the dictionary. You will be greeted with ooh’s and ahh’s when serving this dessert and have people asking for a second slice....

And then the peaches are delicious on their own but if you combine them with creamy homemade ice cream, the taste is divine! In my parents’ garden we have 2 different peach trees, one of them produces fruits early summer and the other one does later in August which means that we get sweet ripe peaches all summer long!...

Jordanian Recipe Here’s a simple traditional dish that I made yesterday. Galayet Bandora is basically sauteed tomatoes stewed with garlic and onion (both are optional), high-quality olive oil, salt, and pepper! It can be either cooked plain, using only tomatoes, or can be cooked with minced meat or with eggs. Either way, it is very delicious! And very healthy too!

So my husband Eric is a major U2 fan. I wouldn’t say he’s the biggest fan in the world, but that’s only because there are some real freaks out there. (For example, there is someone out there managing a database that records every “snippet” ever played during a live concert. A snippet is a song by someone else, like if they sing “Amazing Grace” as a lead into “Where the Streets Have No Name....

“Hi, do you work here? I shattered some glass on aisle D23. I’m really sorry.” (Adjusting her earpiece) “Oh yeah, I heard them talking about that. It’s all taken care of.” “Um, yeah. I shattered even more glass on a different aisle.” You guys are going to think that my life consists of nothing but shopping-with-toddlers horror stories. WELL YOU’RE RIGHT. When the kids dropped the first package of light bulbs, I was stressed to say the least....

I have this great recipe for baked potato wedges that I love. It is amazing because it is only three ingredients – potatoes, olive oil, and grill seasoning. These potato wedges make the best easy side dish to so many recipes. The only drawback to them is that every time I share them on social media I get the same question: “What is grill seasoning and where can I find it?...

Frankly I struggled with the name- I mean it’s not fried, it’s not the conventional Baigan Bhaja but something so much more! Instead of deep frying the eggplant slices, I have roasted them on a nonstick tawa(or a cast iron pan) with a drop of oil and then charred it directly over the flame.It’s best of all Eggplant worlds EVER! The result is a quickly made, lower calorie eggplant fry which really is everything but fried!...
