With how hot it's been this summer, I became addicted to one specific type of salad: cheeseburger salad. It's literally all the ingredients of a juicy cheeseburger just chopped up into salad form. It's a refreshing way to get through the dog days of summer, and it doesn't weigh you down with carbs like if… Continue reading Big Mac Sloppy Joe’s

General Tso’s-Style Ground Chicken
If you love making your own Chinese food at home, stick around until the end. It's -2 degrees here in Oklahoma and it's now been more than a week since I left the house.

Whip together a Chinese classic. It's better than takeout, cheaper, and probably quicker, too! Cashew chicken has all those great flavors mixed together: cashews, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and more.

That's my thinking when I try to make Chinese, Vietnamese, and Jamaican foods. I love trying new things, and I love trying new… Continue reading Tandoori Chicken Drumsticks
Egg Roll Noodle Bowl
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
