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…

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…

Yoshii’s Sweet & Sour Chicken
*REPOST FROM THE OLD BLOG* But in honor of my husband’s birthday today, here is one of his all-time favorite family recipes from his mom! After going completely gluten free, I realized that a lot of Asian take-out food was no longer an option for me. Besides the soy sauce issue, MSG (aka gluten) is…

Zucchini Feta Toastie
Have you noticed I’ve been used Greek Feta in Brine a lot lately? Well if you haven’t, you have not paid very close attention! My favorite part about Greek Feta in Brine is that the brine keeps the cheese from souring, drying, and can be kept in the fridge for weeks. It’s also so versatile!…

Baked Greek Potatoes
Looking for a starchy side dish that will WOW your friends and takes little to no effort? Look no further than baked potato slices with feta and parsley! I won’t bore you with ramblings today because this is pretty self sufficient. The only thing I will say is that it deserves it’s own post because…

Chicken Stuffed Poblano Peppers
If you know me at all, you know I love poblano peppers. I chalk it up to the years and years we spent visiting my grandparents in Santa Fe. Spicy but not too spicy, full of flavor, and easily added to any Tex Mex style dish, the ingredient is a must have in my household…

Summer Peach Panzella Salad
Nothing screams summer to me than stone fruit and tomato… in anything! Mostly salads… but still, anything. They are fresh, juicy, and so flavorful this time of year. As I hold on to the last days of summer for dear life (is it just me or did summer shrink in length this year?!) and become…

Everyday Crispy Tofu
Let me tell you, the best (and only) way to eat tofu is CRISPY CRISPY CRISPY. After hours spent waiting on tofu to crisp in the oven, I finally got smart. First, I realized you must drain the moisture from the tofu. Second, I learned to withhold salt until after it’s done baking because salt…

Salmon Cakes
I was laughing as I wrote an email to my grandfather the other day that I decidedly do not like cooked salmon. I mean, it was just a few years ago that I accepted raw salmon as a viable (and delicious) meal (in moderation of course). So here I am posting a Salmon Cakes recipe.…

Garlic Lemon Caper Fish
To be honest, I have never loved seafood. Until recently. How this came about? I still don’t know but I LOVE white fish – cod, halibut, sole, you name it. I like it even better if it’s crispy on the outside, flaky on the inside, and drenched in lemon and garlic. This dish is just…
