Chocolate Mole

Mole.  Not the animal, the sauce.  From the Nahuatl word molli meaning "sauce."  You know, like guacamole.  The Nahuatl word for avocado is āhuacatl, which became aguacate in Spanish.  So ahuacamolli becomes guacamole, or quite literally, avocado sauce.  But back to mole.

Beet & Goat Cheese Salad




Good 'ol beets.  No one likes them.  No one likes having to cut them.  And unless they're in the form of red velvet cake, no one really likes the taste of them.  But I found this salad that balances savory with sweet.

Bacon, egg and Gouda breakfast

This one was inspired by a coffee shop favorite. Quite possibly the fanciest breakfast sandwich ever.
