Last night I didn’t feel like cooking. I just could not even. I also was over salad. Done. Can’t do it. Finito. But I had some leftover chicken breast and I needed a quick idea for it. What did you do you, you ask? Well, I did a big, easy, chicken and veggie stir-fry. It turned out to be just the ticket too.

Hi friends,
I don’t know about you, but during the summer, I feel a lot less inclined to get into a hot kitchen to cook up something in the oven – besides easy things like cookies or my peanut butter banana bread, anyway. Lucky for me, my boyfriend Sean is an expert griller, and even better he enjoys doing it. No lie. My dad’s never been a big fan of the grill aside from a few times during the summer, so I didn’t know what I was really missing until we started dating and Sean introduced me to the beauty of a perfectly grilled rib eye. In fact, we grill at least once a week in warm weather. Which brings me to my post for today: the perfect summer salad to compliment your grilled meat.

Cauliflower is one of those highly underrated vegetables. It’s not super pretty to look at, it tastes pretty bland when just steamed, but try roasting this baby and it’s a whole new ball game. Continue reading

Hello everybody!
Today’s recipe comes to you courtesy of my boyfriend Sean.
Actually, it was one of the first things he cooked for me right after we started dating, and to this day whenever we make it together I like to think of that. We’d been going out for just about a month when he invited me over to his house for dinner. My birthday was coming up the following weekend, and in honor of it he was going to cook for me (believe me, I know how lucky I am to have a man who can cook. It’s even better that we enjoying doing it together). I didn’t know what to expect, but I knew he had been following the paleo diet for a while before he met me (my love of baking and sugar served to end that diet in pretty short order), and he made me one of his favorite go-to, hearty recipes. Red chicken curry. And I’ll tell you right now, if the man didn’t already have my heart, he would have had it after that dish. It was delicious, paleo or not!

Hey all,
I know there’s already a hundred thousand other banana bread recipes out there, but I swear to you that mine is different and it’s also the best. Why, you ask? Well because not only does this recipe incorporate bananas into the recipe, but it also uses peanut butter! Continue reading

Hi everyone!
Are you ready for a sweet treat that’s super easy to make? My mom passed this recipe along to me years ago (she cut it out of our local newspaper long before that), and now it’s one of my go-to, easy dessert recipes. It’s especially popular with my boyfriend who’s got a sweet tooth for fruity desserts, and I love being able to make it for him so easily. Continue reading

My boyfriend recently got a new townhouse and in his beautiful new home is a beautiful new stove just begging for us to use it. I’ve been happily obliging, but when I discovered the oven is not only conventional but also a convection oven. I’ve never done convection baking or roasting, but after a quick Google search of how to adjust it, I decided to give it a try. My first experiment: convection roasting an espresso rubbed pork tenderloin.

One of the points of this blog is to share recipes that I try and enjoy, and since I’ve been blogging so much about Hong Kong and Asia lately, a quick-and-easy Chinese stir-fry recipe seemed very appropriate.
This recipe can easily be made gluten-free and vegetarian if you choose, and it’s easy to whip up on a weeknight after work – it takes less than 30 minutes in all. Enjoy this little taste of Asia!

For my most recent birthday, my thoughtful brother and sister-in-law bought me a veggie slicer. Yes, I asked for it! It’s been on my Amazon wish list for ages but I never got around to ordering one for myself, so imagine my surprise when I opened the Amazon box eagerly (who doesn’t love getting a package in the mail?) to find the Paderno World Cuisine Tri-Blade Plastic Spiral Vegetable Slicer nestled inside.
