I is for Injera
This post may use affiliate links. Learn more in my Disclosure Policy. I know. I already told you this last year during my failed attempt at the A to Z Challenge in 2015: I is for Injera. And I might have even said in that post that I’m usually not a fan of injera. Oh…

F is for Food
I had a Bible professor in undergrad who would regularly refer to the Gospel of Luke’s portrayal of Jesus as “the 600 pound Jesus” because it seems like he is sitting down and eating with people on almost every page. And I think it’s no accident that the author of the Gospel of Luke shared…

B is for Berbere
American food uses salt and pepper. Italians use garlic. Indian food requires tumeric. In Ethiopia? It’s berbere. And you find it everywhere. Berbere (pronounced “bur-bur-ay”) is a special Ethiopian blend of spices, including chili peppers, ginger, garlic, and other spices. It’s hot, but it’s not a kick-you-in-the-teeth kind of hot.

And later that evening, we went to 2000 Habesha, an Ethiopian cultural restaurant. We had been to a similar restaurant when we brought Mihret home….

I is for Injera
I kind of have a love/hate relationship with injera. OK. “Hate” is too strong of a word. But there are times where I’m really not a fan. What’s injera, you ask? I’m glad you did! Injera is the spongy, sourdough-type bread that’s a staple in Ethiopian cuisine. It’s thinner than a pancake and thicker than…

Our Ethiopian-style cabbage, carrots, and potatoes dish
We had a pitch-in Thanksgiving Friendsgiving dinner at work yesterday. I decided to bring Ethiopian-style cabbage, carrots, and potatoes because it’s such an amazing dish and it really needs to be shared with just about everyone. I’m not the biggest fan of cabbage, but I find this dish pretty irresistible. Since I modified this recipe,…
