One of my favorite types of cake is carrot cake, but I try to not make cake too much because 1. It takes a while to make and 2. I never end up eating it all. So what better way to enjoy it then in cupcake form and have it 10x healthier than your traditional carrot cake!

I wasn’t always the biggest fan of eggplant until I went to an Egyptian restaurant recently. First of all, the food was amazing and second of all, I am now an eggplant fan because of them. They had an amazing eggplant dish consisting of a sweet tomato sauce, roasted eggplant, and veggies. It was amazing.
Of course, I had to recreate it at home and there are no complaints…I would dive straight into this dish anytime. Layered with flavorful sweet tomato sauce, roasted eggplant, hearty mushroom and veggie saute and topped with a creamy yogurt-based sauce. …

Whenever someone asks me what my favorite type of meal to cook is my answer is always tacos. Why? Because the combinations are endless, they are so easy, and always end up tasting absolutely delicious!
