Italian Sausage with Lentils
If you have yet to try lentils I highly recommend giving this recipe a try. It’s a great deviation from the typical sides we make (mainly rice, couscous, and potatoes) and lentils are considered a super food so you really can’t go wrong with this dish. I discovered my love for Italian sausage with lentils at an Italian themed cooking class. The chef told us that this dish is traditionally...

An Antipasto Picnic

For the savory side we incorporated several different types of cured meats, marinated artichokes and mushrooms, grilled eggplant and bell peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, and olives. For the sweets we kept it simple and...

It quickly became one of our favorite local spots primarily because they had these amazing “Thai Fresh Rolls”, which were just vegetables wrapped in rice paper. What gave these rolls the WoW was the fresh mint rolled in with the veggies and the amazing peanut and plum dipping sauces. I...

Butternut Squash Two Ways
We have arrived in Australia. After almost 6 weeks on the road we are finally settled and cooking again, which means it’s time for me to start blogging again. I’m going to start with the first meal we cooked for ourselves over here. Butternut squash is very popular over here in Australia. Quite often restaurant menus list “pumpkin” as an ingredient, but we’ve come to find most often it is...
