Tacos al Pastor Recipe

I’ve eaten a lot of tacos in my life and one of my favourites, hands down, are tacos al pastor. The combination of crispy charred pork and sweet roasted pineapples in a warmed corn tortilla can’t be beat. Unfortunately…

Kimchi Quesadilla Recipe

Putting kimchi and cheese together might sound wrong, but trust me, it’s oh-so right. Spicy kimchi and melty cheese go together like burgers and fries. I wish I could take credit for inventing this brilliant combination, but I…

Caramelized French Toast Recipe

Sometimes I think about a dish obsessively. It doesn’t have to be anything special or complicated; it’s usually something random and most likely, related to breakfast. Take for instance, this caramelized French toast. I must have thought…

Porchetta Carbonara Recipe

When you have a lot of porchetta in the house, you tend to get creative. So far we’ve had sandwiches (delicious), tacos (very tasty), and carbonara (even better than traditional?!). Carbonara is one of my favourite pasta dishes, so…

Tomato Basil Bufala Salad Recipe

Buffalo are a great source of entertainment for me. They are giant and fuzzy, their milk makes awesome cheese, and you can go around saying “Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo…

Clam Chowder Recipe

The days are getting a bit warmer and the sun’s staying out a little bit longer, but I’m still feeling the leftover chill of winter. We’ve been taking lots of windy walks and the best way to warm up…

Earl Grey Madeleines Recipe

When I’m feeling a bit peckish and I don’t want a full-on snack, I’ll often turn to tea. A warm cup of milky earl grey always makes me feel super cozy. And of course proper tea needs to have…

The Easiest Poached Egg Recipe

I love eggs. They’re super versatile and a great way to add extra protein (and oomph!) to a dish. As a breakfast lover, I pretty much enjoy all styles of eggs, but poached hold a special place in my…

Honey Garlic Roasted Butternut Squash Recipe

It's a new year and I know most people are focusing on eating healthy and maybe doing the Whole30 thing, but here I am, still in Tokyo, eating enough noodles …

Tater Tot Breakfast Nacho Recipe

Do you ever wonder why tater-tots are only served by Mexican fast food joints? Why are tater-tots Mexican and French fries French? These are the kinds of deep questions that …

Picnic Popcorn Chicken Karaage

The very first time Mike and I went to Tokyo, I insisted that we go on a bento picnic. Bento (kind of like a full meal pre-portioned out and packed …

Ginger Fried Rice Recipe

Fried rice is one of those dishes where preferences are very individualized (much like how well-done you like your instant noodles). Peas, no peas, soy sauce, no soy sauce, scrabbled …

Beef and Guinness Pie Recipe

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I don’t usually celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, but this year I thought I’d make something Irish themed. After all, I’m quite fond of Ireland–we share a love of potatoes. I was thinking of an…

Asparagus with Miso Butter Recipe

Sometimes, with all the imported fruits and vegetables we get nowadays, it’s hard to remember that produce has seasons. But whenever I see asparagus popping up at the store I know that spring is on it’s way. I love…

Papaya Pear Arugula Salad Recipe

Arugula is one of my top choices in greens for a salad. Those nutty, peppery leaves are so addictive that sometimes I’ll just grab a handful to snack on. Still, not everyone has the same unabashed love for arugula.…

Fish Taco Recipe

Fish tacos will forever remind me of living in Mexico. The endless white sand beaches, the cerulean ocean, and the hot, hot heat. It was so hot that we hardly ever ventured out during the day. Instead we stayed…
