Creamy Eggplant Curry
...an Indian and Thai inspired approach, the citrus of the lemon is a backnote to the high powered heat from the hot sauce and curry powder.

Sure they’ve probably added some stuff to it, but you can do that with stuff laying around your kitchen and make something that tastes even better. So let’s begin!

Muenster, Leek, and Tomato Grilled Cheese
Leeks are an underutilized flavor force to be reckoned with. While they’re subtle, and usually found with scallions in your Mongolian Beef, leeks can actually take the foreground of a meal and make it theirs. The salty impact of the leek flavor makes this grilled cheese perfectly balanced, and makes mouths water every time!

Lemon Dill Honey Mustard Tilapia
This one’s really easy and takes no time to throw together. Tilapia’s great because it’s a very inexpensive cut of fish. It has a great texture and small flavor, which means you can do almost anything with it. You can have southwestern tilapia, Asian influenced tilapia, Caribbean flavors, European flavors. It’s a very versatile fish, and one of the most common uses for it is ceviche, which is the process of cooking fish with acids from lemons and limes(and sometimes tequila). This steals an ingredient from ceviche, but not the meal itself. Enjoy!
