More excuses as to why I haven’t posted a recipe recently. This time it’s because I’ve been busy touring Japan! D and I landed in Osaka (after our 14 hour direct flight from JFK) on September 16th at 6pm. The flight flew by in a flash. Dinner, lunch, a movie, 10 hours of Nyquil induced [...]

I made this last daring cooks challenge while I was home visiting my parents for Thanksgiving. I knew the recipe required some Asian spices and ingredients that I didn’t have and since mom’s work just so happens to be next to a huge Asian supermarket I figured she could help me out with the shopping. [...]

I had some leftover bacon and a whole pound of asparagus, and since puff pastry is probably just as bad for you as bacon, (if not worse), I decided to deconstruct my puff pastry with gruyere and asparagus recipe and make this instead. And it was delicious. Not that it would have been bad with [...]

Another great daring cooks challenge. I had never before made or even tried moo shu. And for the first time I actually prepared this challenge the day it was posted (Sept 17th). It was the weekend after D and I got back from Greece, the weather was bad, and let’s face it, after you’ve spent [...]

Yep I know it’s been almost a week since I last posted anything. And nope I won’t even pretend to have a good excuse – I’ve just gotten lazy. Not lazy in terms of cooking (o I’m still making 10 new recipes a week) – I’ve just gotten super lazy with the photography and the [...]

First off I have to admit that I absolutely love prosciutto. And luckily for me there’s an amazing wine and cheese shop right down the street from me – Calvert Woodley (in case you’re familiar with it). Of course at $22 a pound I can’t afford to eat it at every meal – but there [...]

I don’t make pork chops too often but every time I do I always use this recipe. This is a family recipe – one that my mom showed me how to make years ago and I absolutely love love love it. My mom rarely made pork chops but whenever she did she always made them [...]

I’m always trying to cook new things. Not only using new recipes but also buying ingredients that I’ve never cooked with before. My latest new ingredient was chorizo sausage links. I was looking all over for a good chorizo pasta recipe but couldn’t really find one I liked that used the raw chorizo sausage links. [...]

This dish I made for dinner the other night and it came out really well.  Start to finish – only took me 30 minutes. Which was exactly what I was looking for. As much as I love to cook and wish I could do it all day long, sometimes after being at work all day [...]
