Turkey Lettuce Wraps

I am a big fan of lettuce wraps. They tasty fresh but filling and typically have a nice balace of flavors and textures. I’m seeing a trend: fresh/filling, sweet/salty, crispy/soft . . . lots of contrasts. Lettuce wraps just have a lot going on. That’s typically why I don’t make lettuce wraps at home. So [...]

Asian Steak Topped with Bell-Pepper Stir Fry

This may be ridiculous to say, but I had no idea how good a NY Strip steak was. It’s pretty amazing. . . I bought one small steak and Jason and I split it because it is pricey (it was still plenty of food for us). This recipe was pretty tasty, again, not many ingredients [...]

Sweet and Sour Chicken

I know! Enough with the recipes already!! Well, I like food, and I’m going to keep making it and posting about it. But I’m also going to craft some stuff so that I can post it too. . . I promise. For this recipe, Ellie inspired me to make this Sweet and Sour Chicken recipe [...]

Hoisin Sesame-Crusted Pork Tenderloin

So again, another winner from the Whole Foods cooking class. My coworker went to this class and passed the recipe on to me. She was raving about it so much that I decide I would make it sooner rather than later. Her raving was right on. This was delicious! It felt like something that you [...]

Crispy Tofu with Sweet and Spicy Sauce

So this was another recipe that I tried out for Steamy Kitchen (and she still could use more testers, if you’re interested) and I really enjoyed it! I think I’ve talked about how we try to eat vegetarian a couple nights a week. Not only is it good for the environment, it’s good for our [...]

Asian Meatballs with Sesame Lime Dipping Sauce

These are pretty delicious (I actually have made them twice now, that’s unheard of!). They sound really weird, I know, but they are yummy. I served them with basmati rice drizzled with some of the sauce. They warm up nicely for lunch the next day too! Recipe for Asian Meatballs with Sesame Lime Dipping Sauce
