This was my grandmother's recipe and it is to die for. It's a twist on the traditional Pickled Cucumber...nom nom =)

This simple recipe actually turned out very tasty, which definitely amazed me, especially with only these a few ingredients. The cumin, fennel and sesame seeds gave the dish load of yumminess. A great summer side dish.

Cincinnati 5-Way Chili recipe

A very simple recipe for a classic, which helps you to get warm in the winter (ok, I mean when it is getting 4° Celsius in the night in Southern California). The number of servings is accurate when you have it as a meal - as a starter it should serve way more people. I did not list any spices, as I usually have self made chicken broth which is already pretty tasty and spicy, sweetness comes from the onions and the white wine balances it. For bread and cheese - don't think about any fancy, old dry bread is good and any cheese which melts. The onions are king when it comes to taste. Ovenproof crock bowls are very nice for final preparation and serving the soup.

Tomatoey Tabouli recipe

Made this tropical puff pancake for breakfast today, and made it healthier with whole wheat flour and just egg whites (see the linked recipe below). I used fresh pineapples to make the pineapple sauce, and it was delicious with pancake.
