Okaaaaaay. This right here? About to win your face over. Potsticker soup! Hello, this shortcut is everything. We’re ripping open a bag of frozen potstickers and violently dumping them into a criminally simple soup for a weeknight wowza. What’s not to obsess over? Nothing. There is nothing. You’ll cry over this. We’ll sauté a few […]

Udon Noodles with Mushrooms and Fried Eggs
Saaaaaalurp. But this time – udon noodle style! With sautéed mushrooms, a fried egg and a most deliciously spicy (but not too spicy!) drizzle of umami bliss. Shall we? Baby bellas. You can get them anywhere. Even white button mushrooms are fab. We just want them stemmed and sliced. Also, while we’re cooking our mushrooms […]
Asian Pork Bowls with Noodles and Veggies
I love when a recipe brings me to my knees and face. Much like a pizza or a taco. Just kidding, I’m talking about this one. UM, it is incredible. It’s one of those meals that has so many layers of texture, which is exactly what my soul craves. CRUNCH, crisps, marinated pork, tender noodles, […]
Seared Ahi Tuna Bowls
Oh heeeeey I’m officially back with recipes. Summer recipes! Starting with raw fish! Ha! Oh. So I wouldn’t necessarily call this a poke bowl, only because I seared the ahi tuna. This has been a recipe that I’ve wanted to make for so long, I still had my baby teeth. (that came out way grosser […]
Three-Cup Chicken
You know those meals that leave you stunned and speechless and psychotically gleeful? THIS. This. This! THIS! t h i s. You’re hesitant, I can tell. But I will change you. First of all, there’s this show. This Netflix docu-style food show that Aaron and I recently discovered and are just loony over. It’s called […]
Asian Beef and Cabbage
This is one of those “let-the-farmer’s-market-guide-me” meals. Are you annoyed? BECAUSE holy hail. It is crazy. Simple and crazy. Not crazy like, “She’s got a knife in her purse!” or, “Is she really listening to Michael Bolton right now?” But crazy. So crazy that we’ve made it twice and I still want to punch it […]
Chicken Spring Rolls
Is it obnoxious to post spring rolls a month before spring? I’m pretending that you’re shaking your head so hard your eyeballs are loosening. Spring rolls! How can you not? They’re spring rolls. With GROUND CHICKEN. But let me just say right here and right now, swap in pork or beef if you want. If […]
Chinese Rice with Beef
This recipe is brought to you by – my ENTIRE CHILDHOOD. When I was growing up (IN THE EIGHTIES. I miss the eighties.), my mom have a fine-tuned meal rotation that almost never budged. Monday night was this. Tuesday night was that. Wednesday night was this, plus that. However, one meal in particular that never […]
Corn and Mushroom Ramen Bowls
I’m still trying to find ways to stick summer in soup. And I’d call this one a dern success. First of all, it’s fresh corn! When it’s July and hot and blazin’ hot and very hot and summer and July and hot in July you use fresh corn. It’s mandatory for your health and personal […]
Asian Basil Chicken Lettuce Wraps
This is the week of chicken! Meaning . . . I’m posting the second chicken recipe of the week. So, two recipes. Never mind. Just how in love with lettuce wraps are you? I forget just how much I dig these funnels o’ life until that first moment of head shoveling. (<–none of those words […]
