Couscous and Why It Rocks

Today's special post focuses on the wonder food that is couscous.

Besides its rocking name, couscous is one of the simplest foods you can possibly make. It's a great staple food and is common in Morocco, Libya, and many other countries.

However, perhaps some of my newbie chefs are intimidated by couscous' name. Like quinoa (which, by the way, is also delicious and super easy to cook), beginner cooks might be hesitant to make something they can barely spell, let alone pronounce.

But have no fear! Today's post will explain couscous and calm any concerns about making it. Read on!

Simple Eggs in a Basket

Today's recipe, as is probably unsurprising by now, is rooted in my Italian heritage: eggs in a basket.

I was first introduced to this recipe by the movie "Moonstruck," starring Cher and Nicholas Cage (yes, you read that correctly). In the film, Cher and her super Italian family make her this delicious breakfast as a pick-me-up.

And seriously, this is the quickest, easiest, yummiest breakfast (or snack) ever.

With only two ingredients and some ever-fabulous canola oil, you can have a healthy breakfast in under 10 minutes. Read on for the recipe!

What Should I Eat When I Travel?

Hey everyone! I just got back from a week-long trip to London, England.

The trip itself was fantastic (there's me on the right, hamming it up!), but the vacation reminded me how difficult it is to stay healthy while traveling.

Stay tuned in the next few days for a special post about healthy eating when you travel. I'll provide a few tips I--and others--have gathered from hard-earned experience.

Until then, KEEP ON COOKING!
