Are you ready to eat?
Let’s go on a world food tour! Whatever you’re in the mood for, from meat-lovers to vegans, from Europe to Asia to North and South America, these recipes are for everyone who loves to eat delicious, simple food!
My goal is to showcase delicious dishes that I’ve made, which I find are (relatively) easy to make! Some recipes require more time, and effort, while others are done within 30 minutes, but, I promise, you’ll be pleased with what you’ve made!
Unlike other sites, I won’t be detailing all of my thoughts and feelings about each recipe because, let’s be real, in the end, you just want to figure out how to make the dish and what you need to buy at the grocery store. I cut right to the chase and tell you the ingredients you’ll need and show you what the final dish will look like!
As a side note, I’m a big fan of onions, garlic, ginger, and everything spicy, so my recipes might be somewhat heavy with these ingredients, or at least more so than some people :) Be aware of this and adjust these ingredients to your own preferences because you’re the one who will be doing the eating! Enjoy!

Chestnut and Apricot Lamb Stew with Peanut-Turmeric Rice
Unique is the perfect way to describe this meal! Tender lamb pieces, a slight sweetness from the apricots, subtle nutty creaminess from the chestnuts, all stewed together in a tomato-based sauce. Paired wonderfully alongside an elegant rice, with plenty of crunch from the roasted peanuts and green onions, and you’ve got a delicious dinner that’s appealing to the senses!
Korean Beef with Carrots and Zucchini
One of my favorite go-to recipes, this always hits the spot! Julienned carrots and zucchini soften up while cooking alongside ground beef in an irresistibly flavorful sauce. Between the fresh garlic and ginger, sesame seed oil, soy sauce, honey, and a pinch of red pepper flakes, this sauce does a beautiful job bringing all the elements together. And serve everything over rice so it can soak up any remaining sauce for a delicious meal even to the last bite!
Lamb Rogan Josh with Cilantro Rice
I love making curries! With their beautiful spices and decadent sauces, it’s always a good time to make one!

Pair that with a wonderfully fresh cilantro rice and you’re in for a real treat!
Grilled Jerk Chicken with Fluffy Coconut Rice and Beans
This is sunshine and beach days wrapped up in a delicious meal! Light, fluffy coconut rice, topped with mangoes and a sweet, but spicy jerk sauce, is the perfect side to a piece of crispy jerk chicken!

When it comes to simple, healthy, and tasty meals you can't go wrong with a vegetarian curry!

For all of the seafood lovers that want to venture from the typical calamari dish, you’ve come to the right place with this squid curry!

Lamb Curry Stir Fry
Curry shines through in this fun spin on a “typical” stir fry! You’ll be familiar with the bell peppers, carrots, peas, and eggs from the stir fry’s you’re used to making, but add in lamb and curry powder to make this dish truly something special. If you like stir fry’s, you’ll love this version!

Senegalese Thieboudienne (Rice, Fish, and Veggies)
While looking into food history, I came across this delicious dish. A staple in Senegal, that has inspired countless other dishes! At its essence, it's Jollof (rice with tomato paste), hearty veggies, and white fish that are all stewed together. But what sets this dish apart is its bold use of Scotch bonnet peppers (so it's spicy!). For anyone who wants to discover a great Senegalese recipe!
