Crispy Feta
Well, it’s been a busy March so far. I don’t know how it’s already the 21st or how I got here… Actually, I do. Life. Life happens. Day job duties get busy. Some intermittent travel. Nick and I have actively been saying YES to as much as possible. But admittedly, I am tired. I am…

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…

Salsa Verde Chicken Soup
Are you a red sauce or green sauce kinda person? Do you prefer red salsa or green salsa? Well, I can unequivocally say that our household goes green – every time. No knock on red sauces or salsas, I can get down with a good pico de gallo, but green just warms me from the…

Crockpot Sundried Tomato Shredded Chicken Bowls
Is it just me or has this year been a turbulent start? Despite my best intentions to quick of 2024 with renewed energy, vigor, determination, and focus, I feel like the last 6 weeks have been ones of immense emotional fortitude. Not that everything is going horribly, no we are not in the dumps yet,…

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…

Spicy Basil Chicken Larb
This is one of Nick’s favorite meals. There are only two things we order takeout from and this is the recipe that included 50% of the time. So I was determined to learn how to make it on my own. This recipe is tried and true. I have made it too many times to count,…

Baked Crispy Rice Salad
As an exciting third recipe in the series, let me introduce you to Crispy Rice salad. In previous iterations of this blog, I have attempted recreations of the iconic LA eatery Night+Market’s crispy rice. Which, if you are ever in LA, is a must-eat restaurant. Fantastic food, great prices, and not pretentious. But that recipe…

Pork Jook
Jook. Juk. Congee. Rice porridge. Named differently based on the region of Asia in which it is made, the type of rice used, and the water-to-rice ratio, there are just as many ways or techniques to make jook as there are names. I was first introduced to this delightful comfort food by my mother-in-law. It’s…

Traditional Thai Green Curry
Happy 2024 everyone!As I reflect on the past year, the highs were high and the lows… felt like bad lows in the moment but were honestly, not all that bad. So I will call it a win. If you’re 2023 was a low, I hope 2024 brings you a renewed sense of vitality, creativity, and…

French Onion Soup
*REPOST FROM OLD BLOG* If there is one dish that I randomly crave A LOT and can almost never get at a restaurant is French Onion Soup. Who doesn’t love a big bowl of salty caramelized onions with a load of cheese and bread on top? After a trip to New Orleans where I watched…
