I get excited about a lot of things in life. Thunderstorms, marula oil, strong coffee, boot cut jeans, the return of my favorite TV show(ssssssssss), thrifting, incense, pinpointing an eyelid twitch that’s been driving me bonk-a-lonk for hours, and Antiques Roadshow. But that’s just the tip of the Bevberg. (omg sorry) But this? Oh. THIS? […]

Fried Shrimp and Pork Dumplings with a Sweet and Sour Sauce
Fried Food Friday. You like it? Not that I feel this should be like, a thing. I’m just mighty fond of alliteration and good times, holmes. PLERS, I fry food like once every 24 millennia, so we have to celebrate! You know, celebrate good times. Come on. TRUTH BE TOLD: A) One of these days […]
Coconut Soba Noodle Bowls
I like to call this one the Edible Snuggie. Wait, Slanket? You know what, I know this is a tense subject for many, so to appease you all, let’s all it the Edible Snankuggletie. Because that rolls off the tongue sooo easily. But really, when you’re down and troubled, and you need some loving care? […]
Asian Steak Salad with Bok Choy
I swear this is the last of the Asiany foods for a while. And ohhhh my is it a doozer. I’ve rather enjoyed our little trip together! We’ve canoed through rivers of fish sauce. We’ve snorkeled in soy. We’ve climbed the ropes of vermicelli noodles. And today we shall bok the choy. Wait! I […]
Beef Stir-Fry Cabbage Cups
Rock-a-bye-baby. So I’m trying to get more into Asiany foods. Like, more more. So much more in fact, yesterday I drove all around the city for HOUUUURS (okay, down the street for 15 minutes) to find this SPECIFIC kind of fish sauce, or else I’d combust into flames, thus causing my ashes to blow away […]
Somen Noodles with Scallops and Vegetables
Saaaaaaaaaaa-lurp. Okay. I know you’re probably looking at those little scallops on top of those noodles and thinking you’ve seen this before somewhere, tucked neatly in a memory folder stored in that one dusty corner of your cerebrum. And you have! I kindasortamaybe made this back in April with soba noodles. But! I swapped out […]
Spicy Beef and Basil with Vermicelli Noodles
Oh hey guess what! It’s only 1,462 degrees here in Kansas City. And my hair has never looked more stunning. I used to be SUCH a summer-lovin’ gal, back in my ripe years. I lived in New Mexico, rode my faded red Schwinn at like TWO O’CLOCK in the stale, breeze-less July afternoons, with no […]
Cheesy Black Quinoa Bites and Garlic Chicken Spring Rolls
I know, I know. It’s Saturday. What gives? I just feel like it’s taken me all flippin’ week to get my groove back, STELLA. And I just found out that Click and Clack from Car Talk are retiring and I just don’t rightly know how to handle this unexpected hurdle in life. Don’t they understand […]
Asian-Style Steak Pizza
Sweet. Tangy. Pungent. Fresh. Surprising. Crispy. Tender. Choice. Delightful. Yummy. But I’m not here to talk about my electric personality, OHHHHH. Snap? Oh. This pizza idea was birthed in my brain after spotting a lone peanut on the kitchen counter one afternoon last week. I have no idea where it came from or how it […]
Asian Turkey Lettuce Cups
I have a kitchen. A real life kitchen with lights and electricity. A real life kitchen with water and soap and hand lotion. A real life kitchen with a sink so large, Hugh Hefner himself would glow at the possibilities. A real life kitchen with drawers so soft and slick, I’ll no longer look like […]
