Avocado & Egg Toast with Aleppo Oil
Life after Game of Thrones finale. It’s sad and empty. I’m left questioning my existence. So many thoughts. So many new questions that won’t be answered until a year from now. This is not a feeling I...

Baharat Spiced Beef Hummus

Churro Tater Tots with Dulce de Leche
I have spent the last 2+ months away in Toronto. I don’t know if you have ever been outside of your home for an extended period of time, but it’s a surreal. You forget where you live and just inherit...

Pickled Ramps w. Aleppo & Ramp Butter

Matza & Labne Toasts
Sometimes I prefer matza to bread. Keyword there is sometimes. It’s basically just a giant cracker with endless possibilities. So instead of my usual toast snacks I’ll have during the week, when...
