I clearly love chickpea stews and curries! Even in the heat of the summer, nothing is better than a comforting bowl of a soup, and even better when it’s garnished with creamy & crunchy toppings! This chickpea stew can be made in just about an hour (with most of that time being hands-off simmering time), … More Spiced Chickpea Coconut Stew
Cook your rice noodles (or rice or other pasta) according to package instructions. Whisk together the sauce ingredients, using a couple tablespoons of warm water to thin slightly. In a large pan, add your oil along with the ginger and garlic and cook over medium heat for 4 minutes. Be careful not to burn. Add … More Easy Peanut Noodles
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
As I do every year when the super bowl and oscars are approaching, I’ve been thinking about the most important part of either of these events: the food. Yes the outcomes are “important”, but regardless of who you want to win…grazing around a table for hours is something everyone can get behind! In my opinion, … More Buffalo Artichoke Wings
I’m back! If you saw on my instagram feed, I recently got married 🙂 I didn’t anticipate taking a break from the blog, but wedding planning (especially in the last few weeks leading up to the big day!) kind of overtook my life for a little while. I’m happy to say Andrew and I had … More Sweet and Spicy Pepperoni Pizza
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)
I go through somewhat extreme phases when it comes to food. For example, I ate  brussels sprouts every week for months (maybe even years) but randomly hit a brussels sprout wall and didn’t touch them for like 6 months following. I’m finally back in brussels sprouts land, and diving in head first. This recipe is nothing new, … More Sweet and Spicy Bacon Brussels Sprouts
During a recent vacation in Thailand and Myanmar (i.e. Burma) with my fiancĂ© 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)
Lately, Andrew and I have started incorporating one meatless or vegan meal into our weeknight repertoire. Typically that means we focus on legumes like lentils or beans, so when I found this recipe for a coconut chickpea and sweet potato curry I was sold instantly. Not only does it come together pretty quickly (the active time … More Chickpea & Sweet Potato Coconut Curry
Once the cold weather hits, I’m 100% on board with every delicious spicy, hot, baked casserole-type dish. I’ve been following Juli from PaleOMG for awhile now on Instagram, and she often shares when people make dishes from her cookbook. Once I laid my eyes on this buffalo chicken spaghetti squash casserole, I couldn’t get it … More Buffalo Chicken Spaghetti Squash
I read a post on Smitten Kitchen (my go-to cooking blog, for the 1 person out there who isn’t familiar) awhile back, and she basically stole all the words out of my mouth regarding the cooking of eggs. She mentioned that for all of her life, up to this point, she’s avoided any sort of … More Spaghetti with Spicy Breadcrumbs and Crispy Egg
I don’t know about you guys, but when it comes to guilty pleasure food I am ALL about french fries. Specifically, McDonald’s french fries…but let’s not tease ourselves. Obviously  fries are one of those things you ‘should have sparingly’, so I’ve done a bunch of research to figure out how to make delicious fries at … More Crispy Seasoned French Fries
You read that ^ correctly. We’re putting buffalo wing in our caramel corn, and we’re not going to apologize. In fact we’re going to wonder why we haven’t always done this for all of time!! Now – before I get to the delight that is spicy caramel, let me give you some context. As you all … More Buffalo Wing Caramel Corn
Over the past few weeks, behind the scenes, I’ve been working on redesigning my site. Nina, one of my best friends (and super talented visual designer), hooked me up with a design that looks fresh, clean and modern – which is exactly what I was looking for! Luckily, she accepted my payment in the form … More New Site Design! (and Crock Pot Butter Chicken)
