Katsu Udon

This delicious chicken katsu should be eaten all year round. Sure, summer is coming and the weather is getting warmer, but that doesn’t have to mean that soup is off the table. Especially a soup this good! The only thing I would change in this recipe is the bowl I used – I really needContinue reading “Katsu Udon”

Boiling Point

Boiling Point is a very popular chain for hot pot. If you aren’t familiar with hot pot – it is a boiling broth that you cook beef, vegetables, dumplings and more in. Typically most hot pot spots are more communal – meaning the broth is brought to the table and goes in the middle andContinue reading “Boiling Point”

Chicken Taquitos

These are not those frozen (but I’ll admit good) taquitos you grab from the grocery store and heat up in the microwave, even though that makes them soggy. These taquitos are thick and fresh – honestly I don’t know if I can even classify them as taquitos because they definitely turned out thicker than anticipated.Continue reading “Chicken Taquitos”

Creamy Cajun Pasta

Pasta – no matter what you do with it, no matter what sauce you put on it, it is always delicious, but this creamy cajun pasta is an absolute show stopper. It is vibrant and has a little kick of heat with a subtle smokiness. I topped this pasta with some blackened shrimp, but isContinue reading “Creamy Cajun Pasta”

Lemon Ricotta Rigatoni

Light, creamy, refreshing. This dish is wonderful when you want a pasta that will leave you satisfied but not too heavy. Yes there is a ton of cream and cheese in it, but the lemon and arugula act as a source of acid to brighten the dish up – really complementing each other. You couldContinue reading “Lemon Ricotta Rigatoni”

Bulgogi Tacos with Yum Yum Sauce

Two of my favorite things combined in one – genius. I love tacos and I love bulgogi, so why not make bulgogi tacos! These are a masterpiece that you do not want to miss. The bulgogi is tender and juicy with a divine sauce on top that has some sice and tang to balance theContinue reading “Bulgogi Tacos with Yum Yum Sauce”

Roasted Potatoes

The humble potato has so many forms it takes on – french fries, mashed potatoes, au gratin, tater tots, baked potato – seriously the options are endless. The potato is probably one of the most versatile ingredients that has been turned into so many different types of dishes. You can probably do just about anythingContinue reading “Roasted Potatoes”

Easy Ramen Stir Fry

I am all about those easy, homemade lunches during the week. I fortunately have the luxury of working from home and have the ability to make lunch during the day. I realize that most people do not have that, but if you do, this recipe is a great one. It comes together in about 30Continue reading “Easy Ramen Stir Fry”

Crispy Tacos with Chipotle Sauce

Tacos in all forms are delicious – I tend to lean towards soft tacos, but these crispy tacos are hard to pass up! These are baked in the oven, so they are much healthier than a fried version and they could even be made in the air fryer. I opted for the oven though sinceContinue reading “Crispy Tacos with Chipotle Sauce”

Sesame Chicken

Better than takeout sesame chicken is all you need tonight. Skip that doordash or drive thru and make this for dinner instead. This is not your Panda Express order, in fact it is so much better! My version is light and healthy, highlighting the fresh chicken with a light sauce and sauteed peppers to roundContinue reading “Sesame Chicken”
