i hope you eat good food, grow beautiful things, and have more love than you know what to do with.
This week has been… less than pleasant so I decided to make something I’ve been craving ever since I saw it on the Netflix show Street Food Asia—a Vietnamese Pate Bahn Mi. Created during the French colonization of Vietnam, both baguette and pate were introduced …
I LOVE tabbouleh (and so does my husband) which is one of the few dishes that truly showcases the flavor profile of parsley, but when the craving hits, I often don’t have cracked bulgar wheat on hand. I originally intended to make this dish the …
