Levant Wine and Barbecue
Allow me to take you on a journey to the majestic mountains of Bekaa Valley, Lebanon where a prestigious vineyard by the name of Chateau Musar creates the most decadent wines known to the Middle East. Earlier this year, I was researching my ancestors’ birthplace and I discovered the wonders of wine making. As a fourth generation Lebanese-American who was born in South Carolina, I was enthralled by the commitment and dedication that Gaston Hochar, the founder of Chateau Musar, implemented to perfecting his craft. In 1930, the boundaries of Lebanon had not been rectified and Hochar wanted to guarantee that his premises would be inside the newly established country.

The Story Behind Gallo Pinto
Have you tried Gallo Pinto? If not, then you’re missing out on a staple food here in Costa Rica! Gallo Pinto is the national dish of Costa Rica, consisting of beans and rice. Sometimes it is topped with scrambled or fried eggs, I like two fried eggs on mine.. and Salsa Lizano, the latter which is a favorite condiment of Ticos. Gallo Pinto is simple and nourishing. With that said, you can always kick it up a notch with some meat, pica (hot sauce) & a few hot peppers.

My favorite Korean foods
I'm not sure where my love for South Korea started but let's just say the food started it all. What I love most about Koreans is that they use everything, and I mean everything in their cooking. Some of which being Nigerian I'm not surprised to see, like chicken feet for example. But some foods like, sundae, (blood sausage), is something I wonder if I should try or not. I am open to trying it though, but still probably not, or maybe. And then there are some vegetables that they use that I didn’t even think were edible like dandelion or pumpkin leaves. Anyway, here are my four Korean favorites for now, it will definitely change.

Thanksgiving Meals
Thanksgiving is coming up this month. There are several thoughts that pass through my mind for this holiday. This day is a time to give thanks. People gather around to say what they are grateful for. Each family has different traditions during the holidays. These get passed on to each generation to carry them through the years of life. Over the years I have seen families just use this holiday as a way to connect with each other. Families use this day to connect with each other is to talk while making the family meal. The families also bond with each other while learning from each other.

5 Delicious Vegetarian Meals
Whilst I'm always tempted to add bacon to any vegetarian dish I make, I'm aware of how much meat I eat, and sometimes cheese alone can hit that salty spot for me! This post could easily be an homage to fromage, but I've included a cheese-free recipe that was delicious!
