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…

Peanut-y Kale & Cabbage Simple Salad
As I think ahead of life with a newborn, even shorter daylight hours, and lack of time or energy to cook elaborate meals, I am leaning into building up my arsenal of beloved SIMPLE recipes. Not only for my sanity (though don’t get me wrong, I still loooove cooking regardless of the time it takes)…

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…

Thai Meatball Egg Drop Soup
I love nothing more than a heart-warming soup, even in the (albeit late) summer time. But during the summer, I opt out of the hearty, dense loaded soups that could moonlight as a chili if you use less chicken broth you know what I mean? Instead, I Iike broth-forward, light soups that still hit all…

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…
