My First Taste of Molokhia
It was my first time traveling to Lebanon for work. Everyone had told me not to worry about food because there would be meals on the plane. So, that morning, I left home at 5 a.m. without breakfast, nervous, excited, and trusting their advice. Even when my friend offered me coffee in town, I hesitated. Why eat now when there’s food on the plane?

Shrimp Stew: A Bowl of Comfort and Spice
Shrimp and I didn’t exactly start on the best terms. My first experience with them was, well, let’s just say memorable. I was at a party, running late, and by the time I arrived, most of the food prep duties had been assigned. Guess what was left for me? Shrimp!

Meatball Stew
I know I love cooking, but my first time making meatball stew was a 50-50 situation. I wasn’t making it for myself, so there was no room for messing up or embarrassing my cooking. The person who had shared the recipe with me made it sound so complicated, frying the meatballs first, then cooking them in a stew? Argh! It felt like such a long process.

Foodie for Life
The way I talk about food... you'd think I would be an obese man or the head of a food show. To me, food is edible art. Art is subjective. Some love it and some hate it, but (like snowflakes) no opinion is the same. Every holiday that the cooking falls on me, my mom says I should have been a chef. Whether or not that is true, cooking will always be a hobby that brings me so much happiness. I always joke saying that the cooking channels are my husband, boyfriend, and bae. It has progressed into food porn for me. Don’t let Little Debbie, Hostess, or Godiva come out with new snacks without notifying me first… trouble, trouble. Listening to me now, you don’t believe I’m a buck and some change, do you? (Shout out to the 2003 DHS Big Boy clique who made me an honorary member *insider*)

Mediterranean Stuffed Eggplant Recipe
Origin and History: The Mediterranean Basin is home to diverse cultures and cuisines that have greatly influenced each other over the centuries. The Ottoman Empire, which once spanned across parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa, played a significant role in introducing certain culinary traditions to the Mediterranean region. Mediterranean Stuffed Eggplant, or Karniyarik in Turkish, is believed to have originated in the Ottoman Empire in the 15th century. The word Karniyarik means "split belly" in Turkish, referring to the way the eggplants split open and are filled with stuffing. It was a popular dish in the Ottoman Palace kitchens and gradually became a staple dish among the general population. Though the stuffing mixture usually consists of beef, onion, tomato, and spices, regional variations of the dish have emerged over time. For instance, in some areas, the filling may include lamb, while other regions may prepare a vegetarian version with lentils or vegetables.
