I hope you’ve been enjoying my mini-series on Lunch Bowls. I’m a bit obsessed with portion controlled meals. Mostly though, I’m quite fond of a theme.
It helps my brain get organized.
We recently celebrated National Crabmeat Day. When Bowl Week meets Crabmeat a California Roll Lunch Bowl is born. Continue reading »

We found such a bargain on Sea Scallops. Great big juicy sea scallops. I believe the steep price tag is what keeps me from eating them every day. But I do love them. We bought eight (should have bought more) and decided to prepare them two ways. My choice was Asian Noodles with Seared Sea Scallops. Continue reading »

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? Continue reading »

I enjoyed a lovely lunch date with Shelby and her roommate Clare. It was a post-birthday (for Shelby), pre-move in to a new cool place (for Shelby & Clare)…kind of celebration. Shelby chose a VERY popular restaurant called Buttermilk Kitchen. However, our hunger level and their wait time didn’t mesh so well. So we bailed and opted for Noodles.
This recipe post is a recreation of the fresh & delicious Steamed Veggie Ramen Broth Bowl {with Fried Egg} I ordered. Continue reading »

I took a popular Chinese Take-Out dish and turned it into a healthy make at home meal. Our Kung Pao Chicken Soup is not sodium or MSG laden. Instead it’s packed with fresh aromatic ingredients and some classic Asian flavors. Continue reading »

I decided to take my favorite slow cooker pot roast recipe and give it a complete makeover. Bing, bam, boom. Korean BBQ Beef. Simple as that and oh so delicious.

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. Continue reading »

I had my heart set on Fried Rice. Having no rice in the house was just a minor set back. Introducing Shrimp Fried Farro.
Welcome Winter Thyme 2014. Today is our second straight day of snowbound living for the second time this year. We live in the sunny south, where the peaches grow and our people are as sweet as our tea. We’re not accustomed to waking up to this, although I must say it’s quite beautiful. Continue reading »

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. Continue reading »

Yesterday at the office we celebrated The Egg. With Brunch. We called it our Good Friday Eggstravaganza. I’m sure you’re picking up on the fact that we love to cook and bake and eat together, it’s how we Share the Love. All while working hard to meet a sales goal. It’s a delicate balance but one we manage quite well. Continue reading »
