Kebabs!

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

Hey guys! A lot of you have been asking for my winning Lamb Kebab recipe, so here it is on the Food Network site. But, why not watch the Aarti Paarti video I made a few months ago, showing you HOW to make ‘em? Cool, huh? You can find it here. It features a great [...]

Roasted Beets

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

So, I know that we’re past beet season now, but they’re still popping up at farmers markets here and there. You know how much I love them — search for my Mo-Beet-o salad on this blog. Bonkers.

You guys… you’re amazing! Thank you so much for the outpouring of support, all the warm, loving comments you’ve left me. I am so, SO grateful. In fact, this evening, as I was praying, I realised that your responses are really such a testament to the work God has done in my life. I used [...]

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

I hope I don’t sound ungrateful when I say, it’s been hard to watch myself on the Next Food Network Star. Last night, when I watched episode 2 with some of my oldest friends in the world, I found myself curled up, knees in my chest, hiding one half of my face behind Bren’s arm. [...]

THE soup recipe

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

Hi new readers of the blog! If you’re looking for the soup recipe that I made on the first episode of the Next Food Network Star, here’s a link to it, and the video I made! It’s a touch more complex than the one I made on the show — leave out the mustard seeds [...]

The First Episode

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

Did you watch it? The premiere of the Next Food Network Star, Season 6, starring… me? Watch the video above if you need a quick recap. If you couldn’t tell by watching that first episode, I was incredibly nervous that first day. I walked into the house with the smallest modicum of confidence, based on [...]
