Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
This Thai Noodles Recipe with Vegetables and Chicken (Soy Sauce Noodles) was inspired by my trip to Thailand! It’s packed with flavor thanks to a sweet, salty, umami sauce, and is loaded with vegetables and chicken.
Sometimes something happens that you just can’t get out of your head.
It could be someone you meet or a place you visit, or even something that seems so much more mundane like a food you eat. But for whatever reason it speaks to you.…
Soy Sauce Orange Cashew Chicken with Noodles is a delicious sweet/savory weeknight dinner in 30 minutes! I have a friend who wont cook unless she can follow a recipe to follow to the letter. No subbing yellow bell pepper for red bell pepper, avocado oil wont see the light of day if the recipe calls for sautéing in light olive oil, and if a recipe makes two servings but shes cooking for four, she will literally make the same recipe twice instead of just doubling it. Im totally not judging (to each her own! Whatever works, right?), but I seriously do not have patience for […]...
It’s just a fact of life: anyone growing up in the late ‘80s and/or early ‘90s most likely had to endure some variation of tuna casserole. Frequently, in my case. Specifically, I remember my mom making three different kinds of tuna casserole....
This delicious Vegetable Beef Alphabet Soup has a flavorful broth and tons of veggies! Fun alphabet pasta make it as fun for kids and adults as it is nutritious. I know alphabet soup is usually toddler food. Its right up there with bananas smeared with peanut butter and smiley-face-shaped sandwiches. I have a confession though: I might occasionally still like kid favorites....
It had to be done. Had to. Last week I was talking to my friend Alyssa (the blogger behind the fabulous blog Everyday Maven); Ramadan was about to end, and she and I were discussing food. (Because really, during Ramadan sometimes food is the only thing you can think of.) So, anyway, I told her Ramadan was ending in a couple days and she said I should enjoy my favorite foods for a week straight. (See how awesome she is? Truly a girl after my own heart.) She said if she were me, she’d be making mac and cheese. I had to laugh; she completely read […]...
When my friend Lazaro of Lazaro Cooks! recently announced the Quickies Noodle Challenge he’s co-hosting with Denise of Quickies on the Dinner Table, I immediately knew I wanted to participate. The timing was perfect since I’ve been dying for peanut noodles, but I was feeling adventurous and didn’t want to make peanut noodles in the traditional sense…I started thinking about how I could put my own twist on it....
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 […]...
