My Mini Onigiri Garden
I was in some Onigiri freaky mood lately, making these Japanese Rice Balls non-stop. I’ve been getting lots of “orders” for this popular Japanese dish.

Since they can’t fly, they’ve to use a giant slingshot to catapult themselves to destroy those…
Baba Ga-Hummus! (Roasted Eggplant Hummus)
I absolutely love baba ghanoush, that lovely middle eastern cousin of hummus, featuring eggplant as the star. So I bought an eggplant the other day intending to make some. As I pulled the roasted eggplant out of the fridge I remembered that last time I made baba ganouch with just one eggplant, it really didn’t make enough. Hmmm… what’s a girl to do? I started thinking about the similarit…
Fresh Corn Salad with Spicy Shrimp and Tomatoes
This stunning salad is so summer. Made with fresh tomatoes, corn and bell pepper, it almost made me forget that it’s 99 degrees outside today. I love the bright colors. My grandmother always said that you should try to always make sure your table is multi-colored – never put out a meal that is monochromatic! It’s dressed with a zesty mixture of lime juice, vinegar, olive oil and chile pep…
