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 […]
Chicken and Green Beans with a Garlic Ginger Pan Sauce
Another pan sauce! Did you think I’d forgotten all about my brand new borderline-psychotic love for pan sauces? Because I haven’t. I haven’t forgotten. One quick thing – please forgive how blurry these photos are. It was the most bizarre thing – as I shooting this recipe, a giant cave cricket with fangs and a […]
Pork Ramen Noodle Bowls
Will you punch me if I say the slurping is real? I’m sort of falling apart over this soup. Within the short span of an hour, this here concoction landed a high profile spot in our heavy meal rotation. Not that the meals are heavy! The rotation is. Heavy rotation of meals. I guess some […]
