Starbucks has really upped its game when it comes to selling food. I remember when Starbucks only sold coffee. No food, no snacks. Nada. Now, you can almost eat every meal at Starbucks (if you have the dough). I've become a fan of their quinoa salad and spinach-feta-and-egg-white wraps. But a few years ago, it… Continue reading Thai Peanut Chicken Pinwheels

Chipotle Pork and Sweet Potato Stew
A miniature staycation can be just what the doctor ordered. Burnt out? Overwhelmed by housework? Stressed to the max? People aggravating you at work? I recommend taking an extended weekend. It will help you catch back up on housework and give you a nice reprieve from your job. I worked the Christmas and New Year's… Continue reading Chipotle Pork and Sweet Potato Stew
Oktoberfest Stew
Soup season is here, and it's here to stay for at least the next 5 months. I'm a big fan of soups, stews and everything in between (I'm looking at you, chowders). Eating a bowl of hot soup for dinner with a slice of bread--there's nothing like it. NOTHING LIKE IT. I've already made a… Continue reading Oktoberfest Stew
BBQ Turkey Subs with Banana Pepper Slaw
Living in the country is both a blessing and a curse. It's nice being able to do whatever you want with your land when you want. The bad part is, everyone else does that, too. My neighbors (not direct neighbors, but someone along our road) have been popping off fireworks since June 13th. JUNE 13TH.… Continue reading BBQ Turkey Subs with Banana Pepper Slaw
Teriyaki Cauliflower Bowl
Eating more veggies can be hard. There's a tendency among Americans to reach for protein and carb-heavy meals. I'm, no doubt, a person who does this. I always try to have my protein (meat), my starch, and my veggie with lunch and dinner (all bets are off for breakfast). I still stick to this when… Continue reading Teriyaki Cauliflower Bowl
Air Fryer Bang Bang Shrimp Bowls
If you've never had "bang bang" shrimp before, you've missed out on an epic flavor journey. I believe the term originated with a restaurant chain called "Bonefish Grill" but you can now find it at just about any seafood restaurant (including Red Lobster, I'm pretty sure). All it is: spicy mayo. Basically. That's it in… Continue reading Air Fryer Bang Bang Shrimp Bowls
Copycat Chick-fil-A Coleslaw
A lot of people get emotionally attached to certain food items on menus. It's a force of habit among humans. It could be a link to your childhood, your favorite comfort food or simply a sense of normalcy you associate with certain foods. When the Mexican pizza left Taco Bell's menu, I felt incredibly sad.… Continue reading Copycat Chick-fil-A Coleslaw
Classic Fried Cabbage
Recycling is a cornerstone of my kitchen. I try to recycle leftovers, unwrapped foods, and half-used produce. We don't actually get recycling out here in the country, so I try to live as eco-friendly as a possibly can. Don't get me wrong, we still throw away way too much food. The entire planet does! Food… Continue reading Classic Fried Cabbage
Hoisin Pork Lettuce Wraps
I've been in the mood for lettuce wraps lately. I mean, I've been really craving them. I love using crunchy butter/Boston lettuce and wrapping up stuff like ground chicken, Thai-style vegetables and even just lunch meat. Lettuce wraps are always a super refreshing meal and great for a lunch when working at home. You could… Continue reading Hoisin Pork Lettuce Wraps
Pork and Sweet Potatoes with Spicy Cabbage
Pork tenderloins have been on sale at my grocery store lately so I've been buying them up. Tenderloin is probably my favorite cut of pork. As the name implies, it's super tender---but only if it's correctly cooked. Many times, home cooks will overcook pork and let it dry out. There's nothing worse than a tough… Continue reading Pork and Sweet Potatoes with Spicy Cabbage
