Holy Moly! It was May of a different year, when we pulled Ethiopia and I started this post. But every May is about the same, and this gist is still relevant. All the school things, all the sports things, all the club things and all the end of year celebrations. Gifts to buy, camps to …
Sudan: Ful Medames
Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner! Jake loves hummus. Jake loves making hummus. He loves to double his batch to have it all week long. I should do a post of his recipe. And now, Sudan’s Ful Medames might just be hummus’s cousin we never knew about. I find it funny that in the whole wide world …
Andorra: Truites de Carreroles (Mushroom Omelettes)
We found the love child of all the most classic food dishes you can think of in Andorra. Nestled right between France and Spain, it takes the influences of their very foodie neighbors for the ultimate fusion experience. And with no further ado, I give you Truites de Carreroles (Mushroom Omelettes). It seems so basic, …
Collard Greens for a Prosperous Year
HAPPY NEW YEAR! We’re kicking this year off with all the good luck and good fortune superstitions we can – like some black eyed peas and collard greens. Going into “2020-too”, I think we can agree that we all need a little luck. I had literally never heard of such a superstition growing up, nor …

Sri Lanka: Parippu (Lentil Curry)
Hey, Siri Lanka Each week a country name is drawn out of a cup – and in the whole wide world, we have found ourselves going back and forth a good amount between Asia and the Balkans. I promise it’s random. So, without further ado, we are back in Asia with a recipe from Sri …
Ay Caramba, Hot Tamales
My Latin love affair continues, shhh… don’t tell my husband. Actually, it’s more of a love triangle – he was there, he took part. We made tamales right after a Latin-style feast and Tomatillo Salsa!
