oops, my link did not show up :( How to make chocolate covered strawberries at home.

♥ dips! Here are some of my favorite: beet dip, feta dip with roasted peppers, yougurt dip, and last but not least roasted eggplant dip with tomatoes and Indian spices. Enjoy!

I loved the BBQ in a little tiny Angel's BBQ during my visit to Savannah. It's definitely a casual place, but the food was outstanding.

you are in for a treat! there are so many Ethiopian places in DC. I wasn't blown away by Ethiopic. I much rather prefer some of the older and smaller places. And of course, there is always Etete, Dukem or Roha.

Enjoy!

PS here's the recipe for mushroom barley soup I've mentioned in my earlier post.

ok, so this is not exactly a pecan pie, but I think it's even better! I received this recipe for turtle tart from Art & Soul restaurant in DC and it's DIVINE! Same ingredients as in the pecan pie, but a lot more elegant and tasty.

I've just posted a sandwich today that HAPPENS to be vegan: whole wheat bread, avocado, cucumber, watercress, cilantro and hearts of palm. it's pretty and delicious and filling! I called it Green Goddess Sandwich ;)

let me know if you give it a try.

I've had some empanadas with scrambled eggs, beef, olives and raisins. So I think you can go either way. Just leave some of the eggs uncooked for brushing the dough.

LOVE chickpeas. Here's my recipe for Roasted Indian Chickpeas: http://www.mangotomato.com/2011/01/roasted-indian-chickpeas.html

Easy, healthy, inexpensive and people love them. My recommendation: make them right before serving. As they sit, they tend to sort of soften and are not as good.

seared tuna with bok choy and edamame: http://www.mangotomato.com/2009/03/seared-tuna-with-bok-choy-edamame.html

love salmon. it's pretty, simple to prepare and can be served lunch, dinner, breakfast or brunch.
here are some of my faves:
1) mini potato appetizers with smoked salmon
2) make your own salmon cream cheese
3) omelet with salmon, cream cheese and vegetables
4) sandwich with salmon and brie
5) I don't have a recipe for this, but you put a salmon filet on a piece of aluminum, top with olives, tomatoes, artichokes and red onion, seal, and roast. SO GOOD!
6) My parents slather salmon with a bit of mayo, top with thinly sliced onions, carrots and lemons and bake in the oven.

LOVE eggs.
How about a breakfast pizza with an egg on top? http://www.mangotomato.com/2011/04/recipe-for-breakfast-pizza.html

Another favorite is eggs in a hole: http://mangotomato.blogspot.com/2009/06/egg-in-hole.html

You can even make Spam look glamorous by adding an egg to it http://mangotomato.blogspot.com/2009/09/spam-egg-breakfast-sandwich.html

And if you want eggs for dinner, make Shakshuka (eggs poached in tomatoes): http://www.mangotomato.com/2010/06/shakshuka.html

are you kidding? I love soup! In the winter, in the summer, in the fall and in the spring. it's usually one pot, doesn't take too long other than just to chop a few things and is great for leftovers.

I don't think I can choose my favorite one, but there are a few:
1. Indian Potato Soup because it is easy and my friend Radha shared her recipe with me
2. Kale, White Bean & Sausage Soup because it's healthy, filling and looks pretty
3. Roasted Tomato & Cherry Balsamico Soup because it only uses a few ingredients, but packs in so much flavors.
