Chard and Sweet Potato Hash-brown Breakfast

Chard and Sweet Potato Hash-brown Breakfast

Not usually a “healthy eating” fanatic, but these hashbrowns just happen to be really good for you! Honestly I like them better than normal hashbrowns. Since I discovered them on the Centr app (which I highly recommend), they have become a staple weekend breakfast at 

Kapusniak (Polish Sauerkraut Soup)

Kapusniak (Polish Sauerkraut Soup)

Doesn’t get much simpler and more quintessentially Polish than sour cabbage (sauerkraut) soup. It may sound odd,  but it’s a delicious comforting meal, perfect for those fall and winter night dinners. If you want to cut down on the sour-ness, you can rinse the sauerkraut

Spaghetti con le Sarde

Spaghetti con le Sarde

I discovered this dish when my husband and I were trying rally hard to figure out with the 4 cans of sardines my parents inexplicably left at our house. After making it, I can’t believe it’s not more popular. It’s super tasty and very quick 

Turkey Tikka Masala

Turkey Tikka Masala

Not gonna lie, this recipe is a huge pain in the ass. Especially if you go above and beyond and roast your own spices and actually grill the dark turkey meat. But unfortunately the work is worth it. Curse you Alton Brown! The original is
