This dish was inspired by my summer travels to Istanbul, Turkey (if you missed the post, here it is!). In researching common street foods for Istanbul, Kumpir was one of those that came up quite frequently. In fact, once we started roaming around, Kumpir was EVERYWHERE! “What is Kumpir?” you […]

Spinach Pesto
Prior to this experiment, I’d never made spinach pesto. I’d seen plenty of recipes that went on and on about how easy it was, but I opted not to make my own version because I was convinced that the one I frequently purchased from Trader Joe’s was good enough. Well, […]
