Just think how far the dip world has come, evolved if you will. There was a time when French Onion Dip was the go-to staple for Game Day or family gatherings. A packet of onion soup mix, a tub of sour cream, and a big bag of ruffled potato chips and we were in dip heaven.

I am unashamed of my love for bacon. It has and always will be a treat for my taste buds and the epitome of comfort food.
That’s before it’s oven roasted then slathered in Praline & Maple or drizzled with Sriracha Honey or submerged in Peach Bourbon Glaze or brushed with Rosemary & Black Pepper Honey. Candied Bacon is a meat-lover, sweets-lover dream come true!

No visit to a Japanese Steak House should begin without a Ginger Dressing salad, cocktails aside. Tell me I’m not alone on this one?

Pretzel Crusted Chicken Strips {with Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce}.
I’ve written before on the magnificent power of a chicken strip. For that matter a chicken finger, nugget, or any form of tender juicy crusted chicken bites. They are universally loved by carnivores, especially at gatherings that often involve televised sports aka Game Day!

I’ve completely jumped onto the ‘Bowl’ bandwagon. Rice bowls, ramen bowls, power bowls, Buddha bowls, dragon, macro, breakfast and lunch bowls….they all make me happy. The perfect portion of noodles, rice or grains with added protein & veggie love. Our latest creation is the Honey Walnut Shrimp Power Bowl inspired by ingredients already on hand. Win-win power bowl.

I’m not sure how it happened. Ahi Tuna on sale for $6.99 a pound. Text message…go there. Do not pass go, do not collect $200 dollars…just bring home Tuna. I have to say, I was a bit skeptical. This was not Sushi grade tuna, for which we will pay up for. But it was fresh and thick and begging for a swim in marinade.
Seared Ahi Tuna {with Thai Risotto}.

Char Sui is Chinese BBQ Pork. Don’t let the word BBQ fool you. This isn’t your typical southern pulled pork BBQ (albeit we love that). No, the flavors and cooking method for Char Sui is quite different. And the results…phenomenal. Juicy, melt-in-your-mouth pork infused with a sweet & sticky marinade. Let us not pass over what makes Char Sui dreamy good. Crispy. Pork Fat. Rules!!

Baked Sweet Potato with Roasted Grapes & Ricotta Honey all begins with a Perfectly Baked Potato. From there prepare for a flavor bonanza.
On their own, tender baked sweet potatoes take on a lovely caramelized flavor. Mash them with a little butter seasoned with nutmeg and cinnamon and they become very, very comfortable. Continue reading »
