Crispy Avocado Egg Rolls

I’m the kind of person that gets food traumatized pretty easily. I once had an incident with injera bread and I haven’t touched it since. So really, my continuing love of avocados is kind of a testament, considering our bloody…

Sunday Brunch with BAE: Bacon Avocado Egg Sandwich

I’m a huge fan of breakfast sandwiches, not that I actually eat them at breakfast. I actually fail at adulting because I don’t do breakfast, except for coffee and sometimes medium-soft boiled eggs. Usually, Mike and I will have…

Friday Finds 7.29.16

Last Friday in July! What are you guys up to? We’re heading over to our friends’ new place – we missed their housewarming so they invited us on by for a barbecue. I’m waffling between making a blueberry centric pie…

Dashi Butter Basted Steak Recipe

I know I’m a broken record, but wow, it’s August already? Remember when you were a kid and summer vacation seemed to stretch out forever?! I don’t know if it’s getting older or if it’s just that we don’t…

Friday Finds 7.15.16

Whomp! Middle of July already. Where is the summer going? Oh wait, I know, I’ve been spending way too much time playing Pokemon Go, convincing Mike to creep around in the late of the night, trying to follow the…

Sicilian Gnocchi with Sardines

People are always thinking that Mike and I eat pretty decently. And for the most part, it’s true. But, lots of times our meals (especially dinners) are leftovers hobbled together into some sort of strange smorgasbord that I enjoy…

Cold Noodle Summer Salad with Salmon

Give me all the noodles, even in the summer. I don’t mind sweating over a bowl of ramen or pho, especially if it’s homemade. But, if you’re not up for the noodle sweats, don’t worry, I’ve got your back…

Phnom Penh Cambodian Style Fried Chicken Wings

There’s a restaurant in Vancouver that’s known for its fried chicken wings. It’s a hole in the wall kinda joint in Chinatown, where you have to line up for hours, usually in the rain, for your hit of chicken wing…

The Ultimate Meat-Lovers Pizza

Happy December! I'm so excited it's finally here: the perfect month to cozy up, listen to Christmas music, and eat pizza. When I was a kid I had an obsession …

Flourless Pistachio Almond Loaf

I made this little loaf last week, on a whim. I was feeling a loaf craving and wanted something moist and just a little bit dense. Basically, I wanted the …

Instant Pot Bo Kho Recipe

Instant Pot Bo Kho Time! It's no secret that I'm kind of obsessed with my Instant Pot. Whenever Mike suggests something for dinner, I'll counter with the same thing, made …

Bacon and Egg Grilled Cheese Breakfast Sandwich Recipe

I have a thing for breakfast sandwiches and grilled cheese. With a current abundance of potato rolls some of them inevitably ended up as grilled cheese breakfast sandwiches. But, as …

Fourth of July Flag Burgers

Happy Fourth friends! Mike and I decided to have a burger off this year. We came up with the brilliant idea of making flag burgers with alternating layers of red (beef) and white (turkey) meat! While I’m not very…

Canada Day Maple Rye Cedar Salmon

Happy Canada Day friends! I love making flag foods but Canada’s flag isn’t the easiest to render in food. I wish I was a little more adept at it. I’ve been wanting to make Canada Day jello, much like this American…

Quick and Easy Bolognese Chinese Style (Zha Jiang Mian)

Pan Fried Fish Sauce Chicken Wings with Shishito Peppers

This recipe was inspired by the June issue of Bon Appetit. Just before Mike and I left on a camping trip, we checked our mail (this doesn’t happen very often, adult fail) and there was a magazine waiting for me! I…
