Pub Fries. They are single handedly responsible for my decision to make Fry Sauce. That bucket of perfectly Crispy Baked Potato Wedges deserved an equally perfect dunking sauce. But which one should I make? Continue reading »

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! Continue reading »

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.

Korean Pork & Kimchi Sliders.
Where to begin?
To me sliders represent exactly the way I want to eat. A couple bites of delicious and I’m ready to move on to the next dish. Small plates, tapas, appetizers to share all suit me just fine. And for my friends and family, you know if we have a meal together, I’m going to want a bite of whatever you’re having. Thank you for always sharing. Continue reading »

My kid first introduced me to Vietnamese fare. Pho. Coffee. Bakeries. And Banh Mi. Each worthy of their own post. Our Vietnamese Beef Pho posts continues to be one of my favorites. Vietnamese Iced Coffee was incorporated into a great day spent with one of my favorite peeps, as we explored various iced coffees. Recreating a Vietnamese Banh Mi Sandwich however, was long over due.

The inspiration for this Hot Cuban Dip was the Cuban sandwich I had enjoyed the day before. With every bite I took I was reminded of how much I loved the flavor combination. Continue reading »

My Dark Chocolate Rum Cupcakes with Salted Caramel Buttercream recipe was inspired by the most popular dessert on this year’s Halloween Office Party Buffet. There sat Mark’s picture perfect rum cake, whose aroma alone was so intoxicating co-workers began to stalk the break room pre-party (secretly wondering if they could manage to sneak a piece without getting caught). There’s something sensual about the combination of rum and butter and sugar. Continue reading »

Weeks before Thanksgiving my sister and I were already making plans for the leftovers. Turkey Noodle Soup, Turkey Divan, Turkey Tetrazzini, Potato Pancakes, Roasted Veggie Soup, and let us not forget Thanksgiving Dinner Sandwiches.
Oh yeah, we’ve got stuffing, turkey, gravy, cranberry sauce all piled into a sandwich of comfort. Then without notice she blurts out Cranberry Horseradish Mayo. What?! There was silence for about a nano-second before I shouted out. Brilliant! Continue reading »
