Nue

Nue has been a staple of Capitol Hill for many years. I first went to this spot about 6 years ago when I first moved to Seattle. It caught my eye because it said “street food from around the world.” Instantly I was intrigued and wanted to know more. I scoured their menu and foundContinue reading “Nue”

Mama Dough

This is not my first post on Mama Dough because it deserves a seat at the table. I have been frequenting this restaurant for 5 years and every time they still knock it out of the park. Their food is always delicious, reasonably priced, and quality unmatched. I have eaten my way through most ofContinue reading “Mama Dough”

Farm 12

Farm 12 is a new(ish) spot in Puyallup, WA that is definitely worth the drive from Seattle. It is a rustic barn with multiple buildings for their restaurant and events. You can rent out their space for parties and such! The community is super important to them, which is why I love supporting this place.Continue reading “Farm 12”

Steak, Roasted Potatoes and Chive Dip

It is grilling season and I am here for it! I have no problem admitting I am a bougie bitch when it comes to steak and I prefer a filet over any other cut. Everyone always comes for filets, stating they are not as flavorful as fattier cuts – agree to disagree. If you seasonContinue reading “Steak, Roasted Potatoes and Chive Dip”

Banh Mi Station

Banh Mi Station is located inside Lam’s in Tukwila, across from the Dochi! It might be a little harder or inconvenient if you aren’t coming to shop in the area, but their banh mi are delicious! Their menu features a selection of banh mi, bubble waffles, spring rolls, a selection of drinks and you canContinue reading “Banh Mi Station”

Chicken Parmesan

Chicken Parmesan is such a comfort food. It is so warm and feeling and honestly makes me want to take a nap after I eat it. This is definitely a heavier dish and meal, but sometimes you just need all the carbs! I love italian food – mostly pasta because you know carbs lol. IContinue reading “Chicken Parmesan”

Fajitas

Fajitas are such a great meal to share and come together fairly easy. Don’t let the list of ingredients or steps intimidate you, I promise it is way less complicated than it appears. Also, in my recipe I am doing both steak and chicken but you could just opt for one! You can also cookContinue reading “Fajitas”

Honey Garlic Chicken

I made this recipe a while ago and actually completely forgot to share it! You can also tell it is a bit older because my phone camera was really starting to decline at this point, so the photos are not my best work. But this dish sure is! It is literally so quick and easyContinue reading “Honey Garlic Chicken”

Triumph Valley

Triumph Valley opened up in the summer of 2021 and they offer hotpot, wok dishes, cocktails and dim sum. I recently had the opportunity to try their hot pot and loved it so much I went back on the weekend to try their dim sum and neither disappointed. Their space is large and beautifully decorated.Continue reading “Triumph Valley”

Tortilla Pizza

Pizza doesn’t have to be full of guilt. Whether you want a real pizza or this slightly lower carb, higher protein version, treat yourself to the version that is right for you! I love trying to make healthier swaps to make a meal fit with my nutrition goals. I still eat plenty of pizza andContinue reading “Tortilla Pizza”
