1885. Cypriot Basturma and Haloomi Pitas

Almost ten years ago (!) I published a recipe on freezer Iraqi basturma. It is completely different from the Armenian basturma. These Cypriot basturmas follow a very similar pattern wherein the meat is heavily spiced and garlicked. Freezing them into mini-rods makes the slicing easier. 

1884. Brisket Rashers

America has glorified the consumption of bacon for breakfast. It is a coveted favorite in any hollywood movie. Everyone glazes over the fact that they come from a pig, which is one of the worst things a person can eat, and is absolutely saturated in nitrates and other cancer-causing preservatives. Cue these one-ingredient beef brisket rashers. 

1883. Café Style French Toast

Using just a few key ingredients, this café worthy french toast is a hack worth saving and making on repeat for the weekends. 

1882. Tuna Rice in Seaweed

This is a simple Asian meal putting leftover rice to good use, and the protein form tuna cans. 

1881. Autumn Kale Panzanella Salad

A panzanella salad is enjoyable any time of ear and a wonderful excuse to have bread in your salad. A traditionally panzanella consists of height-of-summer tomatoes. This autumnal version is made up of kale and butternut squash. 

1880. Raspberry Crumb Bars

This is a butter and tangy cookie bar that's basically a pie without all the fuss. 

1879. Onion Pomegranate Roast Chicken

I have mentioned before that while I appreciate a few key roast chicken recipes we have enjoyed time and again, I am always on the lookout for new flavors in a roasted chicken. This recipe brings the flavors of a Palestinian musakhan, in simplified form.

1878. Pomegranate Walnut Salad

This is a nice change to the typical salad: it is very chunky with the pomegranate and walnut, and the only "leaf" element is the chopped parsley. 

1877. Sweet Potato Cottage Cheese Taco Bowl

High protein bowls made with lean ground beef with roasted sweet potatoes, cottage cheese, avocado and hot honey. The combination might seem strange but they really work well together. 

1876. Olympic Chocolate Muffins

Apparently these chocolate muffins went viral at the last Olymics because one of the contestants made them in their shared living quarters.
