Irish Taco Bowls

Forgive me if I have already said this – my brain is quickly disintegrating in the final weeks of pregnancy – but this time around I have had the (dis)pleasure of experiencing food aversions and cravings. With Koa, I lucked out. I woke up wanting a yogurt bowl with granola and fresh fruit, but that…

Italian Sausage & Eggplant Casserole

Last week I ranted about restaurant remakes and ambitious creative cooking, this week, I will keep it simple. This is a dish my mother introduced me to over the holidays. (Yes, I am ignoring the fact I took a few weeks off to travel internationally and have not said HNY to you all yet… still…

Din Tai Fung Asian Cucumbers

When I first started sipcookenjoy, I had major aspirations. Not aspirations like becoming the next big influencer, but aspirations like annual recipe round-ups, restaurant remakes, themed weekly meals, cookbook roulette, etc. Cooking can be so fun and I wanted to inspire not only myself but others to have fun with it rather than dinner feeling…

Baked Spinach & Feta Potatoes

Looking for a fun side to your holiday meals? Look no further than these baked potatoes. I love a good baked potato dish as a side when you hit that time of year when your meals need to feed more bellies than you are used to cooking for. I never know how much rice to…

Miso Braised Crockpot Pot Roast

Sheetpan Turkey Kebab Bowls

Ever see a recipe online and think, why didn’t I think of that? This is one of those recipes. Well, the dressing I thought of a long time ago, I use it all the time on top of Paella when I am looking to be healthier. I honestly should just make a batch of the…

Quickie Chicken Noodle Soup

We had our first true rainy day last week… proceeded by a weekend of 80 degree beach weather. Fall in LA is truly a magical thing. I sometimes find it hard switching back and forth between seasons but it does make for an interesting few weeks. The day it rained I was beyond excited to…

Pesto Prosciutto Chicken Cutlets

As I transition into fall, dragging my feet as much as possible, of course, I am slowly starting to get excited for fall recipes. Stews, roasted veggies, and now with my massive pregnancy sweet tooth: my favorite holiday sweet treats! From delicata squash dishes to pumpkin-spiced baked goods, I am here for the fall flavors,…

Eggplant Tofu Stir Fry

Would it shock you if I told you that my husband Nick requested this as a meal after a week traveling for work? I was. He loves Asian flavors but a meatless meal? Needless to say I was happy to oblige. And although we did end up simply ordering pizza the first night back, we…
