Samosa Croquettes with Harissa Yogurt Sauce

Oh heyyo friendsies! Long time no chitchattle.

Huevos con Soyrizo with Two-Potato Hash

On the line: an opportunity to cook and film with celeb-chef and restauranteur Michael Mina, so it’s kind of a big deal. Thanks! On with the post. Sometimes Mondays kind of suck. Sometimes they don’t. I’ll let you guess which kind of Monday I had. Did you guess the sucky one? Geez, I guess that’s more … Read More
