I love eggs. They’re super versatile and a great way to add extra protein (and oomph!) to a dish. As a breakfast lover, I pretty much enjoy all styles of eggs, but poached hold a special place in my…

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I don’t usually celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, but this year I thought I’d make something Irish themed. After all, I’m quite fond of Ireland–we share a love of potatoes. I was thinking of an…

Asparagus with Miso Butter Recipe

Sometimes, with all the imported fruits and vegetables we get nowadays, it’s hard to remember that produce has seasons. But whenever I see asparagus popping up at the store I know that spring is on it’s way. I love…

Papaya Pear Arugula Salad Recipe

Arugula is one of my top choices in greens for a salad. Those nutty, peppery leaves are so addictive that sometimes I’ll just grab a handful to snack on. Still, not everyone has the same unabashed love for arugula.…

Fish Taco Recipe

Fish tacos will forever remind me of living in Mexico. The endless white sand beaches, the cerulean ocean, and the hot, hot heat. It was so hot that we hardly ever ventured out during the day. Instead we stayed…

Stone Bowl Recipe

I definitely have a thing for textures when it comes to food. Contrasting textures, especially in the same dish, really do it for me. When something crunchy is next to something soft, or smooth, the crunchiness is just so…

Chicago: The Windy City

Last month Mike and I visited Chicago. It was windy, cold, and there was even a bit of snow! We've bean (heehee!) before so we didn't do many of the …

By far the best taco filling you can make at home, in only 7 ingredients. Your local Mexican place is always going to have the best tacos, but for those times …

Shrimp Taquito Recipe

I don’t think I know anyone who doesn’t like deep-fried food. There’s something about the crunch of something that’s been deep-fried that makes it so satisfying. These shrimp taquitos have both an incredibly satisfying crunch…

Pulled Pork Pancakes with Bourbon Syrup Recipe

I have an obsession with breakfasts foods, and by extension, brunch. I love eating breakfast foods anytime and all the time. This makes brunch an especially exciting meal for me–seeing people devour breakfast foods after 12 pm makes me…

Pulled Pork Recipe

This has got to be the easiest pulled pork recipe ever. Honestly, it’s no fuss, no muss, it’s almost not even a recipe at all. I wasn’t really a big fan of pulled pork until I tasted this one.…
