Hot & Sour Soup

As the weather continues to refuse to turn to summer (a mere 60 degrees F here in Southern California but still so very gray), I am reluctantly accepting that I will continue to be pale and depressed for the month. The one thing that gets me through it all — a heartwarming soup. You can…

Prosciutto & Sundried Tomato Quiche

Two prosciutto recipes in a row? How could I! Let’s be honest, cooking – regardless of the cuisine – is just reworking the same ingredients in entirely new ways. So now, let me introduce you to the epic-ness that is prosciutto in a quiche. It’s salty, protein-packed, and gorgeous to look at. A few months…

Green Chicken Pozole

Pozole has always been a special treat for me. For a long time growing up, my maternal grandparents lived in Santa Fe, New Mexico. A magical place with green chili everything, enchiladas to die for, fascinating art, loads of turquoise jewelry, and cozy stucco homes. We would visit in the summer for long days at…

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!…
