No matter how hard I try, any time I cook something remotely Chinese, it never tastes as good as my favorite Chinese restaurant: Fung's. I know it's because I don't normally cook Chinese food. I also didn't grow up in a traditional Chinese family. But I try really hard! I shop at Super Cao (an… Continue reading Egg Roll Noodle Bowl

Shrimp & Roasted Red Pepper Pasta
While the cruise to Mexico was our main honeymoon foray, we made sure to schedule some time to hang out in New Orleans, too. When our ship docked at 8 a.m. on a Saturday, Rob and I decided to explore the city and stay the night before our long journey home the next day. I… Continue reading Shrimp & Roasted Red Pepper Pasta
Pumpkin-Basil Spaghetti & Meatballs
Let's talk spaghetti. Spaghetti has invaded American kitchens for years. It's cheap to make, feeds a whole family, and fills you up quick. There are a million different ways to make it, and a million different ways to eat it. When we make spaghetti, nine times out of ten we use pre-made, jarred sauce and… Continue reading Pumpkin-Basil Spaghetti & Meatballs
Breakfast Enchiladas
I am a creature of habit. I have a routine. A daily routine. If anything interrupts my routine, I turn into a total weirdo. Everything for the day is thrown off. Even if it's something as simple as having to fill up with gas before going to work. Yep. That will completely throw my sense… Continue reading Breakfast Enchiladas
BBQ Chicken and Potatoes Skillet
The temperatures are dipping outside, leaves have started to fall, and autumn recipe books have hit shelves. Looks like fall is really just right around the corner! I couldn't be more happy...fall is definitely my favorite season of the year. Also, we're now less than two months away from my wedding! I'm nervous and scared… Continue reading BBQ Chicken and Potatoes Skillet
Barbecue Chicken Quesadillas
We've finally gotten a break from the unbearable heat and it's a long one, to boot. One whole week of nice, cool 80 degree temperatures is exactly what the doctor ordered for this state! With the cool down and school starting back up again, I figured it was the perfect time to celebrate the waning… Continue reading Barbecue Chicken Quesadillas
Baked Fish Parmesan
Rob is off galavanting around all over Kansas City for his Bachelor's party this weekend. You know what that means? Tons of cooking and endless hours of Netflix binging for me! I've barely managed to scrap myself off the couch this weekend. I'm perfectly content with that. Of course, I cooked up a lot of… Continue reading Baked Fish Parmesan
Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken with Garlic Mashed Potatoes
My circadian rhythm is all off. Waking up at 10 p.m. and going to work at midnight is a lot weirder than I thought it was going to be. I mean, don't get me wrong, I knew it was going to be weird. And difficult. And slightly depressing. But I didn't think it was going to be this hard… Continue reading Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken with Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Herb & Garlic Pork Roast with Honey Mustard Sauce
Since Rob & I have cut down on the red meat in our diet, I've had to adapt in the kitchen. That doesn't mean we don't still have the occasional juicy steak (I am from Texas), but we try to limit it to only a few times a month. As a Texan, cutting out red meat… Continue reading Herb & Garlic Pork Roast with Honey Mustard Sauce
Thai-Style Ribs
One of the appliances that gets used the most in my kitchen is my slow-cooker. Whoever invented that miraculous device, thank you. I'm constantly experimenting with cooking different meats, stews, and side dishes in my slow-cooker. I've never made ribs inside of one before, but I've read a lot of blog posts about it. Cooking ribs anywhere… Continue reading Thai-Style Ribs
