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.

Scored ONE goal and tripped on my own two feet on the way back to the other side.

Of course, I would always get a yelled at and told to move back by the refs. It was .... … [Read more...]
