Milanesas are a huge staple in Argentinian cuisine, and there is a similar version of this dish on most Latin American. Typically made of thinly cut steak, chicken, or veal, or vegetables or beans (yes, beans) for a vegetarian option. Even though it can be a little time consuming to make, it’s a simple recipe…
Beets & Burrata Warm Salad
I absolutely beets, and it is a staple at our house. I use them for salads, Buddha Bowls, burgers, and much more. They had a beautiful color to every meal, and beautiful colorful food makes me happy (I know, I am a nerd) Anyway, this is a very quick simple salad that can also be…
Quinoa & Veggie Bowl
If you live in Michigan like I do, or anywhere with Michigan-like weather, then we probably share the summer urge of being outside. After months of cold and snow, followed by months of rain in the spring, when the sun is out the last thing I want is to spend the day inside, even if…
Ham and Cheese “Tarta” – Mini Tarta de Jamón y Queso
Pronounced “tahr – tah” is the Argentinian version of a French quiche but with less or no eggs. It is a very popular dish, and always available to buy by the slide or whole at small bistros or rotisseries in Argentina. The dough I use is the same one that the empanadas one, but you…
Banana Oat Bread
I love love love banana bread, but my Amelia and Max (my 2 1/2 years old and 18 months old kids) love bananas and eat about 2 a day. So very rarely I had bananas that were ripe enough to bake with. And then I learned that by baking unpeeled bananas for about 5 to…

Greek Pizza on Naan
A flavorful fresh pizza packed with hummus, fresh cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, creamy feta cheese, and mint. Topped with a spoonful of tzatziki sauce. All you have to do is chop the veggies, heat up or toast the Naan bread and you’ll be ready to eat in no time. I usually prepare one large size Naan…
Leftover Salmon Salad
For this recipe I used the leftover salmon from the recipe I posted last Sunday, you can find it here. But you can use any leftover salmon, and with some minor adjustments it tastes really good with steak, chicken, or if you want to leave it vegetarian, without any of the above. I use a…
Lemon Herb Salmon
This is one of my go-to recipes for quick but delicious week night dinner, or dinner’s with friends. It takes very little prep, and the salmon is cooked in the oven under the broiler for 15 to 20 minutes. I usually cook enough to have leftovers for this Leftover Salmon Salad or Salmon Cakes/Burgers (coming…
Overnight French Toast with Lemon Cheesecake Filling
I love French toast, but for some reason I never order it when I go to restaurants. So every time I get the chance to buy good Challah or Brioche bread I know that they will end up in French Toast. This recipe is layers of bread, with a sweet cream cheese lemon filling and…
