Coconut Cod in Parchment Paper
Or as they say, “en papillloleltoltliete.” Something super close anyway. So yesterday we finished the first season of House of Cards. Hooooolmg. Are you watching it? It’s scandalously delicious and addictive. And it’s President’s Day today. And we’re talking about fish in parchment paper. WHICH almost sounds like impeachment paper. It’s like the political stars [...]
Vietnamese Noodle Salad with Chicken
I just learned something right this second and I need to come clean about my wrong doings. My world is shattered. My heart, torn. My brain is fuzzy. My soul, worn. Just get to it? Okay. So you know how these little Vietnamese noodle salads are called “bun”? Yeah. Well I was locked. and. loaded. [...]
Green Tofu Curry with Brown Rice
I have a bone to pick with tofu. You know how when you go to a Thai restaurant with your vegetarian friend and he/she orders something with tofu in it and it comes back to the table all beautifully nestled in a vibrant sauce with colorful vegetables and the tofu is in DISGUSTINGLY PERFECT little [...]
Chipotle Shrimp Salad Bowls
What started out as a sinless, innocent puppy love back in my college years, hath quickly and destructively grown into a full-blown, no holds barred, unmanageable, MUST HAVE OR DAH, injurious addiction. Chipotle. I freaking love Chipotle. Like bawd. In our house, you can often hear things like this coming from our mouths. Me, “I’m [...]

Braised Chicken in a Tomatillo Sauce

Slow Cooker Thai Chicken Noodle Soup
Sluuuuuuurp. Slurp, slurp, slurp. Slurpidy slurp. Oh, hi! Don’t mind me. I’m just slurping my way into 2012. I am wearing a bib though. It’s cool. Did you make any resolutions for the new year? Me either. Resolutions freak me out. If I make them I get all panicked and think, “well, I better get [...]
Scallion and Cilantro Sausage Balls
We’re back! And I think I forgot how to blog. Give me about a month to re-figure this out, cool? I’m looking around my house as the travel destruction bomb doth hit. Laundry screams at me. Christmas loot begs to be cuddled and put away in its respective places. My husband is STILL IN BED. [...]
Grilled Citrus Tuna Steak with Avocado and Spinach
I need to tell you something real quick: I WANT TO MARRY TUNA STEAKS. As I mentioned yesterday, I’m cooking a few recipes out of this super duper book I just finished. And as a mega mama lover of fish, this recipe jumped off the page, slapped my face into next week and then kissed [...]
