Spaghetti Squash Coconut Curry Noodle Soup

March 27, 2019

I’ve been meaning to post the recipe for this coconut curry noodle soup for a few weeks and what sparked me to get down to it was a little conversation I had over lunch today. I talked about how I feel like I haven’t made the time to work on posting more to my blog,…

Frozen Raspberry Hibiscus Coconut Cashew Cups

raspberry cashew cups

Alright, alright, I know it’s still the dead of winter so WHY am I making frozen desserts this time of year? Well, let me tell you. I went on a bit of a nut-shopping spree at Costco recently so I’ve been keeping my eyes peeled for ways to use them up. That’s not to say…

Sweet Potatoes with Blueberry Pomegranate Chicken

I think of these as the grown up version of the baked potatoes I grew up eating at my dad’s house. What was once a russet potato piled high with butter, sour cream, cheese and bacon bits, these babies bring in tender, caramelized baked sweet potato to bring this dish to a whole new level….

Potato Salad with Radishes and Herbs

potato salad with radish and herbs

This potato salad was inspired by a beautiful, bright bunch of radishes I spotted in Whole Foods recently. I was doing my grocery shopping according to my list I so carefully write up each weekend, when these bright pink + purple babies were just ASKING for me to take them home. Dare I say no?…

Bean-free Turkey Chili (Whole 30)

This bean-free, paleo + whole 30 turkey chili is the bees knees. I’m talking super hearty from the copious amount of vegetables and ground turkey, smokiness from the smoked paprika, heat from the jalapeno and cayenne, and it comes together in the coziest bowl with lots of fresh toppings and….a dollop of coconut cream. No…

It’s almost been a year since I’ve posted here It’s almost been a year since I’ve posted here but I couldn’t get these tacos I had in Mexico a few weeks ago off my mind AND it’s Cinco de Mayo so the time is now! 🌮🌮🌮 Inspired by Mary’s in Sayulita (#iykyk) these lil’ shrimp tacos are lovingly bundled with roasted poblano peppers, cheese, avocado, cilantro, and a healthy squeeze of lime on a charred corn + flour tortilla - cause if you can’t abandon all your responsibilities and stay in Mexico forever, you do what you can to bring a little slice of Mexico to you 🇲🇽

If you didn’t eat spot prawns during May long we If you didn’t eat spot prawns during May long weekend, did you long weekend wrong? 🦐 It’s true, BC spot prawn season is among us again and they are just as good as I remember and they still made me jump a little when they’re wiggling around in the bag as I brought them home. There are so many good ways to eat them, but we decided to have a spot prawn feast with all the fixins - corn on the cob, hasselback baby potatoes, chorizo, and charred scallions with lots of yummy sauces - pictured here is chimichurri, melted garlic butter, and spicy sambal oelek. Hope you are able to get your hands on some of these before the season is over!

I’ll be the first to admit that cheeseburger dum I’ll be the first to admit that cheeseburger dumplings sound like one of the most gimmicky fusion foods on earth, but sometimes a seemingly silly combo just works 🤷🏻‍♀️🍔 This photo is the evolution of trying to use up some prepackaged dumpling wrappers with some other burger-related ingredients leftover in my fridge. After a few attempts, the process eventually turned into the labor of love that is homemade dumpling wrappers because they taste sooo much better than pre-made, and deciding that caramelized onions, cheddar, and beef with a crispy sesame + cheese skirt really make the burger vibes come alive 😋 I dipped these in a spicy-sweet gochujang sauce based on the glaze I use for my crispy tofu further back in my feed! 🍔🍔🍔

There’s a lot of things I miss about pre-pandemi There’s a lot of things I miss about pre-pandemic life, but one of the things I miss the most is sitting around a table of family and friends, grazing around a big tasty meal, glasses full, sharing stories and laughing til our cheeks hurt, and ending the night with empty wine bottles, full bellies, and full hearts ♥️ These days, the table is a little smaller but I still tend to cook like I’m feeding an army. This @momofuku inspired beef ssam with all the herby fixins is a perfect example - but that’s what leftovers are for, right?

It’s Cinco de Mayo which means it’s time to ki It’s Cinco de Mayo which means it’s time to kick back, pour yourself a margarita, read up on the Battle of Puebla, and then eat your weight in tacos 🌮🌮🌮 This year, I made tacos al pastor for the occasion, a savory x sweet lovers dream made with super flavorful pork powered by guajillo chilis, achiote paste, and juicy pineapple. We piled these up on charred corn tortillas with shredded cabbage, white onion, cilantro, and a creamy avocado crema. Hope you are feasting on something delicious today - buen provecho! 🥳

Since working from home over the past year, toast Since working from home over the past year, toast tends to happen more often than just on Tuesdays (read: nearly everyday) so this creamy, peppery, goat cheese and avocado toast is one of my favorites to add into the mix. I seasoned this pair with a little flaky sea salt and red chili flakes, a few little dollops of garlic scallion oil (recipe courtesy of my talented friend and top toast designer @lilybubbletea!), and some pea shoots. Happy toast Tuesday, friends! 🥂

I only realized after moving away that having a fa I only realized after moving away that having a fast-casual style teriyaki shop on every street corners is only a Seattle thing 😭 But sometimes the craving for cheap,  hangover-curing, sugary-soy smothered grilled chicken with way too much rice and a side of iceberg lettuce salad, while totally not traditional (sorry mom), really strikes! When that happens, you have to try your best at making it at home, and even if it’s not exactly like you remember, it kinda fills the void for the time being and you tell yourself you’ll perfect it next time 🙃
