Korean chicken bao We had something similar to this dish a few years ago at one of our favorite restaurants, JuJu, in Durham. The kids asked me to try making Korean chicken bao at home and so this recipe came to be. Bao are a Chinese steamed bun made from flour and water and aContinueContinue reading “Korean Chicken Bao”

Tortilla Pizza
Tortilla Pizza In my post on Detroit pizza, I had previously mentioned our love of pretty much all pizza. This tortilla pizza from Serious Eats is just about as opposite as you can get from that recipe. I love this one too though. It is really quick to make (especially if you have some homemadeContinueContinue reading “Tortilla Pizza”
Open Faced Steak Sandwiches with Parmesan Dressing
Open Faced Steak Sandwich My family loves steak. And sandwiches. And sourdough (my sourdough recipe and tips here). So these open faced steak sandwiches make everyone happy. Tender steak is layered on top of griddled sourdough and topped with parmesan mustard dressing, arugula, red onion, and some shaved parmesan. So yummy! I haven’t talked aContinueContinue reading “Open Faced Steak Sandwiches with Parmesan Dressing”
Thai Chicken Stir Fry
Thai Basil Stir Fry Stir fry dishes are some of the quickest and easiest yet still healthy weeknight meals. This Thai chicken stir fry has SO much flavor and comes together in less than 30 minutes. Thai basil has such a great flavor, but if you can’t find that, you can use regular basil hereContinueContinue reading “Thai Chicken Stir Fry”

It is a crispy oven roasted potato, topped with cheese sauce, caramelized bbq burnt ends, and fried shallots onContinueContinue reading “Burnt Ends Baked Potatoes”
Swedish Meatballs on Homemade Egg Noodles
Swedish meatballs are a quick and easy dinner that everyone will love. You can’t get much more satisfying than meatballs in gravy over noodles. I make fairly traditional ones with a mix of ground beef and ground pork, cooked in beef broth based gravy, with sour cream to give that creaminess that makes this dishContinueContinue reading “Swedish Meatballs on Homemade Egg Noodles”
Beer Braised Short Rib Sandwiches
I think these short rib sandwiches from Tom Colicchio’s wichcraft cookbook are probably my favorite sandwich in existence. The short ribs braise for several hours with onions and carrots and garlic in Guinness beer until it reduces down to a super flavorful glaze. They are served on my favorite sandwich roll recipe I shared earlier,ContinueContinue reading “Beer Braised Short Rib Sandwiches”
Crispy Chipotle Chicken Wraps
Crunchy Chipotle Chicken Wraps For tonight’s dinner I decided to try this recipe for crispy chipotle chicken wraps from Half Baked Harvest. Spicy chipotle chicken folded inside a tortilla with peppers, cheese and spicy ranch, then pan fried sounded amazing to me. The original wraps called for rice, which I left out, because I didn’tContinueContinue reading “Crispy Chipotle Chicken Wraps”
Detroit Pizza
Detroit Pizza Almost all pizza is good pizza, but this is great pizza. This Detroit pizza is a deep dish variant that has a thick layer of pepperoni in the bottom on the crust, topped with lots of cheese, then lines of the homemade sauce. I know it sounds strange to put the sauce onContinueContinue reading “Detroit Pizza”

This is by far the best sweet and sour chicken I’ve ever had, and this is one of my family’s favorite meals. I’mContinueContinue reading “The BEST Sweet and Sour Chicken”
