It’s true. I could probably eat hummus every day for the rest of my life and not get tired of it. Granted, 2 and a half years ago I hadn’t even heard the word ‘hummus’ before and was curious about this exotic health food that my co-workers at Starbucks kept mentioning. Thankfully I am no [...]
I have been itching to try some savory muffins for a while now. It’s actually kind of amazing, what with my muffin fetish and all, that I haven’t delved into these already! But I have been collecting recipes, and when our host at Lake Tekapo Luxury Lodge suggested I make some muffins (or something, but [...]
What is kumara, you might ask? Kumara could be called the newest addition to my list of favorite foods, but really it’s just a variation of one that’s already on there-kumara is New Zealand’s sweet potato! And in New Zealand, what I have always known as french fries, they call chips. So Kumara Chips? Otherwise [...]

Our breakfast since we’ve arrived at this host’s Kiwi Heritage Homestay has consistently been comprised of a fried [...]
Anytime you travel, it’s inevitable that you will end up eating what I like to call a ‘vacation’ meal. No condemnation here. I’ve taken plenty of ‘vacations’ when it comes to eating healthy while on a vacation. Case in point: I’m sitting in the Los Angeles airport waiting for my flight eating a Teriyaki Chicken [...]
I think I missed the boat on this one. I know October was prime time for pumpkin recipes. But in an effort to defy social convention for once in my life (or maybe just adhere to the ‘better late than never’ principle), I wanted to share these incredible pumpkin bars. Incidentally, pumpkin is also great [...]
Pomegranates are lovely. Packed full of antioxidants and exploding with flavor. But if you’ve never cooked with a pomegranate before (or, let’s face it, seen one in person), they can be awfully intimidating. What do you do it? How to extract those little rubies enclosed inside? I’ll be completely honest-it was only about a year [...]
