Ahi Tuna Burgers {with Avocado Aioli & Sriracha Mayo}
Ahi Tuna Burgers with Avocado Aioli & Sriracha Mayo. After we fell in love with Salmon Burgers, Ahi Tuna Burgers seemed like a natural progression. A nice simple mixture of diced ahi tuna, with a little sesame oil, scallion, ginger, and soy is all you need.

Thai Green Curry Baked Cod
We recently attended a wedding where we were treated to a most spectacular buffet of Thai food. The appetizer spread alone captivated our attention without end (check out my collage below). And when the dinner dishes were set out we approached them with the same enthusiasm. That’s fancy talk for multiple trips through the buffet line. While I was oh so happy with everything served, the Green Curry was still lingering in my mind three weeks later.

Thai Pumpkin Soup {and a new toy}
Thai Pumpkin Soup. There was a time a few months a go that I heard there might be a shortage of canned pumpkin. Wait. A shortage of canned pumpkin? Seemed ridiculous. So I only bought 10 cans. Now I’m approaching the “Simplify” month(s) when I long to strip my pantry down to only the most essential ingredients. Some people cleanse, I purge the pantry. I have a few more cans of pumpkin to incorporate into dishes.

Miser Wot {with Baked Eggs}
Shelby and I recently explored Ethiopia. More precisely we explored her kitchen. We set out on a Sunday adventure that delivered us to Desta Ethiopian Kitchen, a highly favored restaurant here in Atlanta. We sampled many, many dishes and decided our favorite of all was the red lentil stew or Miser Wot.

Berbere {Ethiopian Spice Mix}
One of our favorite dishes enjoyed at Desta Ethiopian Kitchen was Miser. Red lentils stewed in a rich spicy berbere sauce with onion, garlic, and ginger. I set out to recreate this warm and flavorful dish from the ground up. Here is my version of the Berbere spice blend (pronounced burr-burr-ee and meaning “hot”). I slightly adapted this recipe from Epicurious according to the spices I had on hand and reduced it by half.

Sesame Chicken {Lower Sodium}
Sesame Chicken. This recipe recreation was too good not to share. We recently made a fabulous dipping sauce for some sweet potato steak fries and the key ingredients were agave nectar and soy sauce. One taste of it and my love for sesame chicken came rushing back.

Chinese Pork Tenderloin {with Garlic Sauced Noodles}
Pork. The other white meat. I absolutely loved this Chinese Pork Tenderloin with Garlic Sauced Noodles. I’m still loving it, reheated the following day. There’s something really special to me about being able to prepare Asian food at home. As much as I LOVE Chinese restaurants, I’m not crazy about the way I feel after consuming MSG and sodium laden dishes. By making recipes at home you control the freshness and the ingredients.

Vietnamese Beef Pho
Vietnamese Beef Pho. Let me just say this about that. I don’t think I’ve ever delivered so much flavor with so little effort. When I got home from work I assembled everything I needed, put the broth and seasoning on to simmer, all in about 5 minutes. I did also pop our beef filet into the freezer, which later helped with getting a nice thin slice.

Whole Roasted Tandoori Cauliflower {with Mint Chutney}
Whole Roasted Tandoori Cauliflower with Mint Chutney. I realize this recipe is not for everyone. Someone in my house was a bit skeptical himself. Having said that, if you’ll follow this picture montage to the end, you’ll see what a whole roasted tandoori cauliflower looks like, only 17 minutes after it comes out of the oven. And I didn’t work alone.
