This Banh Mi Sandwich with Instant Pot Short Ribs and Quick Pickled Slaw is the perfect combination of tender meat and zesty fresh, flavorful slaw. It’s my take on a classic favorite! One of the best things about a sandwich (of course in addition to the fact that it’s portable and easy to make), is that you’re able to pack in a ton of flavors and textures. Here I paired braised beef short ribs with a sweet and spicy pickled slaw for the perfect balance!...
Soy Sauce Orange Cashew Chicken with Noodles
Soy Sauce Orange Cashew Chicken with Noodles is a delicious sweet/savory weeknight dinner in 30 minutes! I have a friend who won’t cook unless she can follow a recipe to follow to the letter. No subbing yellow bell pepper for red bell pepper, avocado oil won’t see the light of day if the recipe calls for sautéing in light olive oil, and if a recipe makes two servings but she’s cooking for four, she will literally make the same recipe twice instead of just doubling it. I’m totally not judging (to each her own! Whatever works, right?), but I seriously do not have patience for […]...
Easy Miso Chicken Soup
Easy Miso Chicken Soup comes together in 30 minutes for a delicious weeknight dinner! Friends frequently ask Mike and I where we want to travel next, and both of us immediately think of going back to Thailand because it completely stole our hearts. The only problem with that is there are so many other beautiful places we want to visit first; Turkey, Eastern Europe, and Japan are all high on our list, with Japan in particular being near the top....
Hoisin Salmon Burgers with Ginger Mayo Recipe {Plus The Wellness Kitchen Cookbook Review, Giveaway, and Q&A with Paulette Lambert}
Happy Spring, friends! I hope you’re able to enjoy spring-like weather and get outside for some fresh air today to celebrate. Or if the weather isn’t quite so spring-like where you are, go make a nice big leafy green salad with tons of fruit and veggies…it’s guaranteed to make you happy!...
Chinese-Inspired Plum Sauce {Paleo}
I got you some fruit – your favorite!, Mike said with a huge smile one day a while ago when he came home from work. I ran over eagerly and peered into the large brown paper bag he was holding, wondering if it was housing apples, grapes, figs, or maybe even dragon fruit....
Cabbage, Carrot, and Chicken Stir-Fry
Some nights it goes like this… It’s been one of those days (you know those days, when anything that could go wrong did), and now it’s almost 6 o’clock. Hubby just walked through the door…he’s hungry and so are you, and if you have kids they’re probably claiming to be starving. Dinner is an afterthought, and more of an inconvenience than anything else; you’re thinking take-out and you’re about to reach for the menu....
Singapore Mei Fun Noodles
In my junior year of college, this dish was the go-to late-night study food for the whole floor of my dorm. Most of us on the floor were majoring in the same subject so we’d all have an exam at the same time. The night before a big test, we’d all order Chinese food and stay up through the night studying in the common room. Singapore Noodles was always all of our favorite dish (along with Crab Rangoon)…it always made studying all night a lot more fun....
Sesame-Crusted Tofu
Tofu is always a treat in my house since I don’t make it very often. (I love it, but the hubs…not so much, so it is a real rarity!)...
Fishbowl (Salmon Noodle Bowl with Greens & Garlic-Ginger-Honey Glaze)
Japanese noodle bowls are relatively new to me. As a kid the closest I came to experiencing a noodle bowl was when my mom would make egg drop soup with ramen noodles (a delicious dish she learned from a friend of hers who was married to a Japanese man). I had my very first actual noodle bowl at Wagamama in London only a couple years ago. Since then, I’ve been hooked. Noodle bowls are great for cleaning out the fridge, since you can use just about any combination of veggies and lean protein that you have on hand. This combination is one of my absolute […]...
Baked Tofu Satay with Peanut-y Noodles
A couple nights ago, I had half a block of tofu and some leftover veggies in the fridge…it was already 5:30 and I was aimlessly wondering what to make for dinner, when this week’s BSI (peanut butter) jumped into my head, and dinner was born. I’m going to send this recipe over to Kim at Ordinary Recipes Made Gourmet for this week’s BSI…peanut butter! Baked Tofu Satay with Peanut-y Noodles (Yield: 2 servings) Peanut Sauce (see below) ½ block tofu (~7 oz), cut into 6 equal pieces 4 oz Barilla Whole Grain Thin Spaghetti or Soba noodles ½ TB canola oil […]...
