Easy Baba Ghanoush
Easy Baba Ghanoush is a wonderful middle eastern eggplant dip that’s rich flavor and creamy texture will delight your taste buds. Trust me on this one. You do not have to slave in the kitchen, or order take-out, to be able to enjoy this creamy dreamy eggplant dip at home. After oven roasting the eggplant, this recipe requires less than 10 minutes of hands on time. Hand me a pita…I’m going in!

Quinoa Tabbouleh Gluten Free
I wanted to make a gluten free version of Tabbouleh so included Quinoa! It’s perfect! There’s something about Spring that makes me crave bright green flavors! Which generally means I’m incorporating as many fresh herbs as possible. Tomorrow I am making Falafel which I’m going to serve on a great big board with lots of tiny bowls of other levantine favorites like hummus, Jerusalem salad, baba ghanoush, marinated olives and feta, and this gorgeous Quinoa Tabbouleh.

Cauliflower Fried Rice
Cauliflower Fried Rice. If you’re craving a low-carb or vegetarian alternative to traditional fried rice, this is the recipe for you. A little sesame oil and soy sauce and you’ve got the flavor profile down. I always add carrots, onion and green peas but sometimes I also add zucchini, broccoli, mushrooms, shrimp, or even bacon.
