This steak is a bit spicy and a bit sweet but it is so tender and flavorful you won’t believe it! I wanted to mix two very different cuisines together to see what the result would be and I was SO blown away with this recipe! While the steak is spicy and rich, the chimichurriContinue reading “GoChuJang Steak with Chimichurri”

Riviere is an asian fusion restaurant in Midtown that serves up all sorts of unique twists on banh mi and other dishes! We stopped in for a late lunch not too long ago to try this place out.

Harissa Chicken + Flatbread

Homemade flatbread is not only superior to store bought, but it is actually SO simple and only requires a few ingredients!

Coconut Caribbean Chicken Bowls

This recipe came together by a happy mistake! I had some leftover coconut chicken and black beans and thought lets throw some rice, avocado and lime juice on it and call it good. This flavor combination turned out so much better than I could have imagined. Now, this is not traditional Caribbean bowls, but whenContinue reading “Coconut Caribbean Chicken Bowls”
