Vietnamese Fish Tacos with Quick-Pickled Carrots and Daikon
I’ll never say no to a fluffy, soft tortilla filled with deliciousness. Especially when that deliciousness is a decidedly Vietnamese take on fish tacos....
Friday Finds: 7.31.15
It’s the last Friday before August! This summer seriously flew by and I’m already starting to see back-to-school stuff in stores – eep! I can’t believe I haven’t gone anywhere this summer and it’s already August....
One Pot Pasta: Tomato, Basil and Burrata Spaghetti
This is a quickie! Quick and easy recipes that I don’t have much to say about, aside from the fact that they taste awesome and you should give them a go! It’s the simple dishes, especially in hot weather,...
How to Make a Really Good Salad (and a Peach and Corn Coleslaw Recipe!)
Salads aren’t very sexy. I mean, they’re kind of in a revival stage, but when you tell someone you’ve just had the best salad, you’re usually met with (at least I am) a blank uninterested face. Start talking about...
Mini Ham and Cheese Croque Monsieur Puff Pastry Tarts
The first time I went to Paris I told Mike that I had to have a croque monsieur or croque madame. Croques are classic French bistro fare and since I figured we’d be spending a lot of time café...

Ginger ale is one of my go-to drinks, especially when I’m in the mood for something that’s not alcoholic. I had the absolute BEST ginger ale years ago on my first ever trip to Tokyo. I read up on a...
Homemade Fudgesicle Brownie Pops
All it takes is a couple of bars from that familiar tune of the ice cream man: instantly I’m five again, equal parts nervous and excited. Whenever my brother and I heard that da duh da duh da duh,...

This summer is just flying by! It’s been a super-hot one so far, but now it’s starting to cool down, which I’m a little relieved about because my bread making experiments have been put on hold ever since that...
Spicy Thai Oven-Fried Chicken Wings
I love a good chicken wing: pan-fried, deep-fried, baked, braised, boiled…well, you get the idea. Chicken wings are one of those universal foods: if you’re a fan of chicken, you’re pretty much a fan of chicken wings. What I...
Lemon Shortbread
Here’s a not-so-secret about me: I’m obsessed with cute things. I like all things kawaii, but I especially love bunnies. It all stems from my very favorite bunny from childhood, Bunny. Yup, I named my stuffed bunny, Bunny. It’s...
