Our Family Vacation- Fun, Foraging, Eating, Etc…
Ike, Mike, and Lee on vacation. Mike, Lee, Ike, Anneliese, and I spent this past week at a resort town where we, luckily, have a place we can stay free of charge; there’s a reason it has become our annual vacation destination. I wanted to share some pictures as well as what we did; I […]
Surinamese Okra Salad Recipe
Okra- you either love it or you hate it. It probably comes as no surprise to anyone that I fall into the “love it” camp, after seeing just how many strange and different foods I am willing to eat. In fact, I don’t think I can name even one food which falls into the “hate […]
Sabich Sandwich/Wrap Recipe
I never was a big sandwich fan. I also didn’t used to like hummus, aside for on a very rare occasion. Hard boiled eggs? Always thought they needed mayonnaise to make them palatable. But that all changed when I tasted my first Sabich sandwich. Sabich is a type of sandwich, made famous by an Israeli […]

The family and I are off on a 5 day trip. Mike isn’t working this week, so we were invited to stay at a relative’s apartment in prime tourist area. (Yup, same place as our trip last year. I love having this vacation available to us without needing to pay high prices for hotels or […]
Homemade Chickpea Hummus Recipe
Picture from wikipedia. My camera ate up my picture, sorry! Once upon a time, I didn’t care much for hummus. I thought the only way to eat it was spread on sandwiches, and bread was never my thing, even before I became gluten free. In fact, I went to far as to tell the caterer […]
Homemade Sriracha Sauce Recipe- Refined Sugar Free
I thought I grew up with lots of food diversity, eating food from around the globe as our standard dinner fare. And in a sense, I did eat much more varied diet than the standard American, but there were still some cuisines that were foreign to me, some dishes and foods that I never tasted. […]
