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

Catfish Po’Boy Tacos
When my parents were down here to help us move into our new home, my mom bought two big bags of catfish nuggets. We had planned to do a fish fry one night, but all of the work we had to do on the house bogged us down so we never got around to it.… Continue reading Catfish Po’Boy Tacos
Chana Masala Breakfast Tacos
One of the worst things about moving out of the city is the lack of food options. I no longer live near a Crest grocery store. My favorite Thai food is at least 30 minutes away. There's a lack of options when it comes to Chinese restaurants. Korean and Vietnamese restaurants are non-existent. And I… Continue reading Chana Masala Breakfast Tacos
Sesame Noodle Bowls
Do you ever get those random hunger pangs for something so oddly specific that you don't know if you even really like that thing at all? I do. Almost everyday. That weird craving struck me over the weekend. My most desired object? Edamame. I don't regularly eat it. I don't even really like it that… Continue reading Sesame Noodle Bowls
Beef & Cabbage Stir-Fry
When your living in this new Coronavirus world, it's important to not waste any food. That means going through your reserves in the pantry or cabinets. I've got a couple of cans of refried beans, green chiles, and tomatoes I'm going to try and use up this weekend. It also means getting the most bang… Continue reading Beef & Cabbage Stir-Fry
Beef & Broccoli Salad
I can't believe I'm actually writing this blog post. The idea behind this recipe has been rattling around in my brain for months and I never acted on it. I finally got to work cooking and testing it when I got back from vacation two weeks ago. Then, I forgot about it again. I got… Continue reading Beef & Broccoli Salad
Mexican Street Corn Style Roasted Cauliflower
You should roast more vegetables. I'm a big proponent of roasting anything to make it taste better. Saute, boil, poach---no, no, no. Roasting brings out this delicate flavor and adds a char that will make it taste even better. My favorite veggie for roasting? Cauliflower. Hands down, cauliflower. Cauliflower is insanely good raw, but even… Continue reading Mexican Street Corn Style Roasted Cauliflower
Turkey & Green Bean Stir-Fry
There are very few meals that I make more than once. It's not that I don't like what I'm making, it's just that I'm constantly having to make new things so I can blog about it. Most normal people have a handful of recipes they keep in their dinner rotation. That's things like meatloaf, roast… Continue reading Turkey & Green Bean Stir-Fry
Thai Chicken Skillet
It's a great weekend to be lazy. Honestly, most weekends are a great weekend to be lazy, but after a grueling week at work it's nice to just lounge around and not do anything. I have zero plans to get out of my cozy clothes. No plans to even leave the house. I'll be here,… Continue reading Thai Chicken Skillet
Vietnamese Chicken Salad
Sundays are probably my least favorite days of the week. Since I work overnights, I basically get a half day on Sundays. I'll typically wake up around 3 am, and then be back in bed at 11 in the morning. I get all my cooking done on Sundays, but that's about the only "fun" thing… Continue reading Vietnamese Chicken Salad
