Palak Chole – Spinach and Chickpea curry
I had been craving some Indian food last week and so we drove clear across town to our favorite restaurant to get some. But I would be lying if I didn’t say I wasn’t more than a little disappointed that there was no Vindaloo on the menu that day but a dish they did have in its place was Palak Chole.

Medianoche Cuban Sandwiches
Authentic Cuban bread is difficult to find in our area, so we’ve prepared these Cuban Sliders which are traditionally served with sweet bread.

By far, one of my favorite Asian foods is potstickers. I would love to eat them more often but always hate the exorbitant price they carry in our local restaurants. At about $7 or more for 6 as an appetizer, we just don’t order them often. In my local Asian …
Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie
