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…

Bahn Mi Crispy Rice Bowls
We are back home and back on the dinner grind! I always love going to Hawaii to get creative with the local vegetables and easily accessible Asian ingredients, but I also get excited to come home to my kitchen full of gadgets and fully stocked cabinet of spices and grains! Now I will admit that…

Kimchi Fried Rice
Well helloooo everyone from my little slice of paradise here on Maui. Yes we are back again! Thank you grandpa for buying a place decades ago and thank you Kelly family for never letting him sell it. Maui has become our home away from home over the past few years. We got married on the…

Peanut Tofu Satay
Looking for a fun way to spice up meatless mondays? Look no further than Peanut Tofu Satay. Tofu on skewers? How fun! I may not seem like a creature of habit with my cooking repertoire but I am a creature of habit when it comes to preparing my meats (and tofu) the same each time.…

Orange Chicken & Broccoli
I’ve mentioned this in a previous post but I try to incorporate one asian-style dish to our menu each week. It’s Nick’s favorite cuisine and it’s one I find gets easier the more reps you put in. Not that asian dishes are hard to make. They are actually quite simple when it gets down to…

Bahn Mi Smash Tacos
A few months ago I saw a similar recipe to this on Instagram and immediately saved it. Time is warping but I recall smashed In’N’Out style burger tacos going viral at some point… which I tried of course. But these – these are superior. The regular burger flavors + a tortilla felt off to me.…

Hawaiian-Style Slaw
In true Nick and Casey fashion, we are back in Hawaii and milking it for as long as humanly possible. We finnagled the ability to work remotely for a few weeks, sweet talked grandpa into letting us use up his visitor days, begged friends to watch our beloved cat, and booked last minute flights, leading…

Sesame Shiitakes & Beef (and Broccoli)
We don’t eat a ton of red meat in our household. Not for lack of desire, but because we are always prioritizing lean meals during the work week. But every time I grocery shop at Trader Joe’s I am enticed by their selection of cut meats – perfectly sliced flank steak, shaved steak, filet rounds…

Crockpot Thai-ish Shredded Beef Bowls
I have to give credit where credit is due, and the credit to this masterpiece goes to Alex Snodgrass of The Defined Dish. She is a legend. You can find her social media but unlike the slew of influencers who cropped up over the last 5 years, who’ve made a following from algorithm-pleasing 60 second…

Thai Papaya Salad
Okay, as my last Thai-inspired recipe of the month I thought I would go out with a bang with a dish I could eat every damn day. Sorry for the swearing but it’s just that good. Nick and I rarely eat out when at home but when we do, it’s Thai food. I also can’t…
