1904. Lemon Feta Shrimp Orzo


This is a quick and flavorful meal that is inspired by Greek flavors and delivers a wholesome nutritional profile. Done from start to finish in under 20 minutes, the same dressing that the pasta is coated in is used to flavor the shrimp.

I'm in my freshly milled flour (FMF) era, and am enjoying the journey of discovery and experimentation immensely. These 40-minute hot dog buns are fluffy and soft, and so so flavorful.

1898. Haloomi Arayees


These haloomi arayees are as simple and delicious as could be. Switching from Lebanese flatbread to Egyptian bran flatbread really has made all the difference for me.
