CHICKPEA BOWLS WITH CUCUMBER TZATZIKI & LEMON TAHINI DRESSING

August 8, 2022

Recipe “bowls seem to be trending on many of the food bloggers and vloggers that I follow. In theory, it is a salad, but with heartier ingredients.

The meal kit provided a Bulgogi sauce packet for the meatballs and I enjoyed looking up the Korean origins of Bulgogi. I made my sauce using Gochujang (fermented hot chili paste). You can find it in most multicultural food sections. You could also use chili sauce or your favorite hot sauce. … More MEATBALLS WITH SPICY BULGOGI SAUCE, JASMINE RICE, & ROASTED CARROTS

CRISPY MAPLE GLAZED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON

December 5, 2021

While a couple frozen bags of Brussels sprouts are a staple in our freezer, I like to use fresh ones when I am able. … More CRISPY MAPLE GLAZED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON
