Tachin: Crunchy Baked Saffron Rice

The pinnacle of golden crispy edges.

For special occasions, I make this dish. It holds such a presence on the table that it elevates even a simple roast veggie meal to a regal feast. I love to triple the recipe and bake it in a beautiful crown bundt pan. The golden crispy edges contrast with the soft creamy-like center and I guarantee it will have you looking for more.

Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread Recipe

Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread

All cornbread is authentic—as long as it’s good, served hot, and made with love.

A happy childhood memory of the morning light streaming in through the kitchen window. Woken up by the smell of something delicious baking, I stumbled barefoot and butt-ass naked to the kitchen. My momma handed me a little slice of cornbread hot from the oven with a pat of butter and some honey drizzled on top. Happiness.

Lemon Poppy Seed Oatmeal Pancake Recipe

Lemon Poppy Seed Oatmeal Pancakes

Citrusy, fluffy, and packed with protein.

It is not very often, but sometimes I just wake up with that craving for some pancakes, you know what I mean? These are my go-to. I love serving them topped with greek yogurt, rounds of blood oranges, and a drizzle of fennel seed infused honey. They hit the spot without leaving me feeling heavy and gross. Sometimes, they even make it to a plate to eat like a civilized person, and sometimes, I eat them straight out of the skillet.

Overnight Oats

Set yourself up for success.

I have noticed that if I eat a proper meal for breakfast, I do a much better job with the rest of my day. More often than not my morning time becomes jam-packed and unless I plan ahead, breakfast is often the first thing that gets compromised…

Creamy Polenta Recipe

Polenta

All day’s work kinda fuel

I have happy memories of standing barefoot in the kitchen stirring pots of bubbly lava. Up there with melted cheese and boiling syrup, making polenta can be a dangerous affair. Though, it is well worth the effort. After a long hard day’s work, nothing refuels the body like a bowl of this creamy yellow deliciousness.
