Singapore-style noodles
Last week I bought an iron wok, and I decided to try it out today with Singapore-style noodles. I get a craving for them sometimes, so fortunately they’re easy to make.
Cheesy stuffed peppers
These cheese-filled peppers are quick and easy, and since this blog seems to be reading like a travel log, I should probably mention that we were served similar stuffed peppers at our hotel in Bulgaria.
Mango sticky rice
Poor me, I have three ripe mangoes that need to be eaten very soon. What am I going to do?
Fasoulyas (green beans)
When my mother talked about the foods of her childhood, this was always on the list, but for some reason, I never recall eating it at home. I got the general gist of it when we went to Greek restaurants and all my older relatives would coo over the green …

Coconut pumpkin soup
