Crisp, fresh green beans stir fried with butter, garlic, shallots and crunchy walnuts makes for an easy and delicious side ready in 15 minutes.

Spicy Shrimp Pasta In Creamy Tomato Sauce
My favorite pasta sauce is neither white nor red, but orange! And by orange sauce, I mean a creamy tomato sauce. It is the best compromise between the tangy red marinara and creamy white alfredo.

Whole Roasted Chicken {Seasoned With Sumac And Piri Piri Sauce}
Many people who cook will fondly recollect time spent cooking with their mothers since childhood. But me, not so much really.
