Leek Confit Frittata
This is the second recipe I made from The Wimpy Vegetarian for Secret Recipe Club. I had leeks. I had leeks for the braised sausage that we usually make.

Egyptian Kushari
Kushari is the ultimate pantry cooking, vegetarian, world dish. Essentially, at the end of the month, the families in Egypt would have a little bit of everything left over in their pantry; lentils, rice, pasta, chickpeas, garlic, onions, etc. They would cook this all up and throw it all together to clean the pantry. So, there I sat at the airport. With a diplomatic passport, I have found out, you don’t have to stand in such long lines. This I didn’t know my first trip, but I am totally … [Read more...]

Scored ONE goal and tripped on my own two feet on the way back to the other side. I played defense and the coach always had me moving father and and farther towards center to force the other team to be off sides. Of course, I would always get a yelled at and told to move back by the refs. It … [Read more...]

Curried Cauliflower and Chickpeas is a rich and spicy #meatfree meal. With all that flavor you won't miss the meat! The #MeatlessMonday movement has continued in the house of AKH.
