Thai Quinoa Salad

As some of you may know I have been toiling with the idea of creating a substack or figuring out how I can send a monthly email that culls the recipes I’ve posted for the month in one place for you all to see it all in one place and so I am not filling…

Yoshii’s Caesar Salad with Hot Crispy Cracker Chicken

I love Caesar Salad. Always have, always will. Top it with chicken tenders and WOW – it brings me back to my childhood days. Growing up my grandparents lived in Santa Fe, New Mexico and although I could go on and on about the incredible Tex Mex plates there now, when I was younger I…

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…

Baked Crispy Rice Salad

As an exciting third recipe in the series, let me introduce you to Crispy Rice salad.

Ginger Chop Salad

Nothing like a new month reset with a delicious, nutritious, and relatively healthy-ish chop salad. I am always on the look out for salad recipes that are filling enough for a full meal and packed without goodies to actually crave it. This Ginger Chop Salad is one of those salads. It’s crunchy, salty, and filling.…

Simple Cucumber Green Bean Salad

Well, it’s happening folks. WFH is slowly being phased out and everyone loves to meet in person again! Which means… I do not have time to make elaborate meals. Well, I still do, but in moderation… And that means I have been rethinking how I can continue to eat healthy, delicious meals so I don’t…

Summer Heirloom Tomato, Shrimp & Mozzarella Salad

Although we are in the thick of the worst “May Grey” month I’ve ever experience here in Santa Monica in the 8 years I have lived by the beach, I am desperate for summer. The food, the drinks, THE SUN. So as we head into Memorial Day weekend, I am sharing a happy accident that…
