I’m not sure how in the world I don’t have this recipe on my site. I truly make a variety of this every week – it’s such a staple meal in my house. It’s so flavorful and easy, and I love that I can basically use whatever I have in the fridge and pantry. In … More Easy Thai Green Curry
When it comes to cocktails, there are only a few things I look for: gin or vodka, citrus, and herbs. Whether its a greyhound, a g&t, or a gimlet, I’m a happy girl. When I was in Myanmar, we visited The Strand hotel, which is basically the only place in the country where anything is … More Gin Basil Smash Cocktail
After coming back from a 2 1/2 week trip to Thailand and Myanmar, Andrew and I have found ourselves being much more adventurous in terms of flavors and ingredients that we cook with. Since eating so much good food across the globe, I realized that despite some differences, we all essentially like and eat … More Baby Bok Choy & Rice Noodle Bowls (with Teriyaki Steak Tips)
During a recent vacation in Thailand and Myanmar (i.e. Burma) with my fiancé and two of our best friends, we ate a ton of noodles. We definitely had noodles at LEAST once a day if not more. For instance this delicious Pad See Ew: Like this pad see ew, a lot of Thai noodle dishes we had are those … More Burmese Coconut & Chicken Noodle Soup (Ohno Kawkswe)
I’ve been trying over the last few weeks to start getting in meal planning mode so that weeknight dinners can come together really quickly. I pretty much always have a protein and a veggie planned, but almost always overlook a starch. I’ve never been too into carby things like pasta and potatoes, but served a certain … More Super Easy Sesame Noodles
Ever since Gina posted about the Instant Pot before the holidays, I knew it was something I had to have. It serves as a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, yogurt maker…and on and on! Andrew and I make rice all time, so we knew we’d get a ton of use from this from our rice … More Brown Sugar Short Ribs with Peanut Butter
Even though I’m on the road a lot for work, I do manage to eat/make a couple weeknight meals at home every week. Probably about 75% of my weeknight meals involve brown rice, veggies, and some protein, and this is one of my favorite variations. I wasn’t sure about sharing this because it’s such a … More Teriyaki Chicken Stir Fry
Now that the sun has finally decided to show its face in New England, I’ve been spending as much time as possible outdoors. This past weekend, I went for a long run outside (for the first time since my half marathon in October!), Baxter went for a dip in the ocean, and Andrew and I strolled around … More Honey Sesame Pulled Chicken
Apparently it’s peanut butter week here on the blog, and I can’t say I’m mad. I’ve been leaning heavily on Asian flavors recently (pretty much since discovering sesame oil), and one of the things frequently in the rotation is this peanut sauce. Peanut butter is good on anything, savory or sweet, but I especially love this … More Easy Peanut Sauce
Quite recently, I discovered sesame oil. I’m not sure what took me so long to finally buy it, but I’m so glad I did. Sesame oil is a dark brown color, and has a very intense and nutty flavor, and you only need a tiny bit to impart a ton of flavor. It works extremely well … More Asian Turkey Meatballs
