The bread is soft and super fluffy. The pork is hot and crispy. The cabbage is cool and slightly vinegary. ThenContinueContinue reading “Pork Katsu Sandwich on Japanese Milk Bread”
Chicken Tikka Quinoa Bowls with Pikliz and Cucumber
This recipe was inspired by one on Pinch of Yum. I modified this recipe quite a bit as I am often prone to do. I think my kids were probably slightly mad at me for this one, because I often make a big spread of Indian food, which they love, and this was like aContinueContinue reading “Chicken Tikka Quinoa Bowls with Pikliz and Cucumber”
Crispy Chicken Taco Salad
Summer in the south gets HOT. I love the heat and humidity and summer storms. Sunny days at the beach. Ice cream and popsicles and lazy school free days for the kids. I tend to cook a bit lighter and serve more big salads in the summer time. I love a good salad but itContinueContinue reading “Crispy Chicken Taco Salad”
Caldo Verde
Caldo Verde is a Portuguese soup made from chorizo, potato and collard greens or kale, in a chicken or vegetable broth seasoned with onion, garlic, olive oil and vinegar. The chorizo here is Spanish style chorizo, more like salami, not the tasty chorizo used in tacos. When you lightly brown it first, it imparts soContinueContinue reading “Caldo Verde”
Leek Orzo with Fried Eggs and Beet and Carrot Salad with Lemon Tahini Dressing
We have quite a few chickens. They make cute pets, which was a surprise to me when we started keeping them. If you raise them from chicks, they know your voice and they will come if called, just like a dog or cat. It is so cute! Plus they lay tasty eggs. I’m always lookingContinueContinue reading “Leek Orzo with Fried Eggs and Beet and Carrot Salad with Lemon Tahini Dressing”
Cuban Roast Pork with Mojo Sauce, Yellow Rice, Black Beans, and Fried Plantains
This meal is one of the best combinations of food ever. The garlicy, citrusy, salty mojo sauce cuts the fattiness of the pork and mixes with the starchy rice and beans to make a perfect bite. The fried plantains add some sweetness and all your taste buds are satisfied. Definitely recommend you try this one.ContinueContinue reading “Cuban Roast Pork with Mojo Sauce, Yellow Rice, Black Beans, and Fried Plantains”
Hamburgers on Homemade Buns with French Fries and Candied Jalapenos
For most of my life I have really been more a hot dog person than a hamburger person. Every bbq or festival or event growing up if there were hot dogs, I’d go with that. I blame this on the fact that there are a lot of bad burgers in the world. They just reallyContinueContinue reading “Hamburgers on Homemade Buns with French Fries and Candied Jalapenos”
Thai Peanut Chicken Rice Bowl with Lime Mango and Veggies
I adapted this recipe from Half Baked Harvest. It is a bowl of warm rice topped with savory red curry marinated chicken breast, with a curry coconut peanut sauce, with veggies and mango. I am a big fan of Thai peanut sauce and red curry, and the addition of the mango mixed with jalapeno andContinueContinue reading “Thai Peanut Chicken Rice Bowl with Lime Mango and Veggies”
Vietnamese Beef Phở
Phở is a tasty dish of broth and rice noodles, topped with meat and herbs. There are many variations, and they are all delicious. This is a bit of a cheater recipe for the broth, but it is my go to for the beef version because it is quick, but still SO flavorful and complex.ContinueContinue reading “Vietnamese Beef Phở”
