Polish food is another of my family’s favorite cuisines to eat. This past summer when we were on vacation in the mountains, we ate 2 days a row at this amazing little restaurant run by old Polish ladies because it was so good. My family has quite a bit of Polish background, so I likeContinueContinue reading “Bigos (Polish Hunter’s Stew)”

Braised Glass Noodles with Roasted Pork and Napa Cabbage
I could probably eat this roasted pork and napa cabbage with braised glass noodles for dinner for a week straight. I love pretty much everything about this recipe. I’m addicted to these noodles, because they have such a fantastic chewy texture and they absorb a little of whatever sauce you are using. The internet classContinueContinue reading “Braised Glass Noodles with Roasted Pork and Napa Cabbage”
Spam Musubi
Spam Musubi is a Japanese/Hawaiian dish of marinated and fried spam served on sushi rice with nori wrapping. I tried to research the history of this dish, and like many recipes it is murky. Whatever its origins, it so tasty and fun to make and eat. For those who think spam is gross, if youContinueContinue reading “Spam Musubi”
Pork Tenderloin Medallions with Mushroom Gravy
This is a different take on pork tenderloin that is easy to make and super homey and filling. I liked how fast this was to make and I’m a sucker for mushroom gravy so that is always a win.

Tortas de Chilorio
As I said I would share, here is the torta I made with the teleras. This torta is from the Nopalito cookbook, and this picture doesn’t do it justice. We were in such a hurry to eat these while hot, I barely glanced at the photo I took, and it was really dark in myContinueContinue reading “Tortas de Chilorio”

Pork Banh Mi Burgers
One of our all time favorite sandwiches to eat is a Vietnamese banh mi. Traditionally, a banh mi features a crusty baguette filled with grilled meat, pickled vegetables, fresh herbs, and tangy sauce. Its elements of crunch, tenderness, sweetness, and spiciness are unique and so delicious. This is a fusion dish combining the banh miContinueContinue reading “Pork Banh Mi Burgers”
Solyanka Soup
It is a lot of fun to try new recipes, and I had never heard of Solyanka soup before seeing a recipe for it online, so I immediately wanted to make it. My entire family loves anything pickled and all kinds of pickles and olives, so I had a feeling everyone would like this dish.ContinueContinue reading “Solyanka Soup”
Chorizo and Potato Tortilla Pizza
This recipe is a variation on my quick and easy Skillet Tortilla Pizza, but with a Mexican twist. Chorizo and potato makes an excellent filling for tacos or tortas, so why not on a pizza? This combination is soooo tasty and these are super fast to make. Chorizo is best when you cook it downContinueContinue reading “Chorizo and Potato Tortilla Pizza”
