Friends. This Lentil Curry might be the only lentil recipe on my site. Wait, let me check… Yep. It is. I was never a huge fan of lentils until I had lentil curry once. There was something about that cozy, porridge-like texture that screamed comfort food for me. Not all lentils end up with that …

This grilled caesar salad recipe is another recreation of something I ate at a restaurant and furiously jotted down notes as I picked my plate apart and tasted everything individually.

I have this great friend named Kristi. She has been a reader of my blog for at least 9-10 years. And we even met in person once! (I happened to be near where she lived once so I totally knocked on her door at 10:30PM like a creeper. And she still likes me.) Kristi has …
