After falling in love with cooking over ten years ago, I’ve made it a goal to cook and learn about various ingredients and dishes. It’s all about learning- not about the meals being perfect.

I have found my new favorite Brunch Dish. Recently, while going through old magazine clippings of recipes, I found a recipe for Shakshuka featured in Chatelaine magazine. I had never heard of Shakshuka before! It has several ingredients I love. Eggs, tomatoes, feta cheese, onions… I knew I had to try it! When I looked…
