Kik Alicha – Ethiopian Yellow and Green Split Pea Stew
I absolutely adore lentils in all their forms, so Ethiopian cuisine has been a lot of fun for me to experiment with. Indeed, there are quite a few dishes that are entirely based on lentils.

Read MoreMelted “Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups”
This originally started as an experiment in cookie-making without granulated sugar options. I was hopeful after I saw how beautiful the cookie dough was and how nicely it formed into balls. But, after about 7 minutes in the oven, I saw that the cookies were melting all over the place! I left them until they’d…
