This Hot Reuben Dip is made with that kind of twist in mind. Take the yummy ingredients that make The Classic Reuben Sandwich so popular and serve it with Jewish rye Party bread. One more easy crowd pleasing recipe to add to your next finger food spread. Continue reading »

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.
