Chipotle Salmon with Citrus Avocado Salsa and Cilantro Yogurt Sauce

Every part of this recipe is delicious on its own. However, the combination of the sweet and spicy chipotle salmon to the fresh citrus avocado salsa, to the creamy cilantro yogurt sauce elevates this dish to absolute perfection! I was inspired to make this recipe after seeing Ambitious Kitchen’s Chipotle Lime Salmon Taco recipe, but…

Blueberry Banana PB Smoothie

In grad school I worked at a smoothie shop for supplemental income, so I’d say that I’ve got pretty high standards when it comes to smoothies! This is my favorite one I’ve made (it’s filling, the consistency I like, and delicious) and is full of antioxidants from the blueberries (and extra nutrients from the hidden…

Paris Recommendations

Walking Nothing I like more than getting lost in the beautiful French roads and admiring the architecture and various city halls in the different districts! Paris is an incredibly walkable city, and I spent days wandering around from food spots to tourist sites! Public transit is also doable (I used google maps) if your feet…

Zucchini pasta sauce

Remember when zucchini pasta meant gross “noodles” made from zucchini? This version, which is real pasta made with a sauce made from zucchini, is much more delicious. Enjoy! Ingredients: •4 small or 2 medium sized zucchini•6 cloves garlic•1/4 cup pasta water•cooked pasta from a 1 lb box•1/4 cup olive oil plus 2 tbsp•1/2 cup basil…

Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies

Levain bakery style cookies from Olives n Thyme Tahini has definitely been an acquired taste for me, and even though I do like it now, I’ve not always succeeded in using it in sweets recipes. One of these successful recipes were incredible S’mores tahini cookie bars (also from Olives n Thyme), so I knew I…

Green Shakshuka

Shakshuka is something that’s now become a brunch staple, but it’s a dish I’ve been familiar with all my life from Israel. In Israel (especially during winter time) green shakshuka is almost just as popular as the traditional red version, and it’s one of my favorites! I’ve tried a few recipes, including Eden Grinshpan’s version…

Almond flour crepes

Gluten free and kosher for passover! I will say I was skeptical trying this recipe, since crepes can be difficult to make without breaking and the last gluten-free crepe recipe I tried turned out awfully. However, these were super easy to make and were delicious! I made both sweet and savory crepes so I added…

Grape and Rosemary Focaccia

Saw King Arthur Baking’s recipe for Rosemary Grape Focaccia, and changed the recipe based on my own experience baking focaccia. It was INCREDIBLE and the best focaccia we have ever eaten! The grapes burst in the oven giving the focaccia a sweet kick, and the combination of roasted grapes and rosemary with the saltiness and…

EASY Homemade Couscous

I recently made homemade couscous from semolina over a stove top, and my friend Dana (who is a seasoned chef) shared that there is an even easier method where you can make homemade couscous from semolina via microwave! She sent this video in Hebrew from youtube with directions, and I’ve translated the instructions below! Homemade…

Delicata Squash

Oven roasted delicata squash, so simple but so good! Slightly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and so naturally sweet 😍I buy my delicata squash from @traderjoes because they regularly have it in stock and it’s so cheap, only $1 each! I normally cook a few delicata squash at the time because they get eaten…
