Chili Crisp Noodles
The chili sauce is quick and easy but the homemade noodles are a labor of love. Trust me though, it’s worth it.
Honey Lemon Brussel Sprouts
Sweet and summery, these brussels will make you wonder why on earth you ever thought brussel sprouts were gross.
Pepper Jack Mac
My boyfriend, a native Wisconsinite, said the pepper jack was “not a note, but a symphony of cheese”. I don’t think anything else needs to be said.
Summer Corn Salad
The easiest assembly-only, make-ahead recipe that’s perfect for all your summer picnic needs. Shoutout to Sarah for sharing the secrets to the corn salad of my dreams.
Mamka's Potato Pancakes (Bramboráky)
Is there anything better than crispy fried potaotes? Hard no. Here’s a potato recipe passed down from my dad’s mother — Bramboráky. These little Czech potato pancakes are loaded with marjoram and garlic and fried to delicious perfection.
(No) Vodka Pasta
A recipe made specifically for my boyfriend, who loves vodka sauce but drank way too much vodka in college that the smell of it makes him sick. This is also good for anybody who doesn’t keep much liquor in the house because they have intolerance to alcohol due to their Asian genes (aka me).
Lemon Kale Pasta
Pantry pasta at it’s finest. This recipe started off as a way to use up almost expired veg, but it’s so good I actually buy fresh ingredients to make it now. Shout out to whoever discovered that lemon and pasta go well together. You are the real MVP.
Garlic, Mushroom and Burrata Toast
Lots of garlic, crispy mushrooms, bubbly burrata…it’s the garlic bread recipe you never knew you needed.
Vanilla Bean Ricotta Toast
Avocado toast who? I bought a $17 vanilla bean specifically for this recipe and let me tell ya, it was definitely worth the investment.
Sesame Noodle Salad
I love a good assembly-only recipe. Especially one that involves noodles and bright, bold flavors.
Tofu Lettuce Boats
Bright, summery, and perfect as an appetizer or a main course. PF Changs is shook.
Cuban-ish Grilled Cheese
Sweet & salty grilled cheese sandwich stolen straight off the menu of my favorite neighborhood Cuban restaurant.
Miso Butter Pasta
Suuuper quick & delicious pasta recipe for when you’re down to the bare bones of your pantry.
Champorado
Need an excuse to eat chocolate for breakfast? Try this American-ized version of a Filipino classic.
Portobello Panzanella
Panzanella could quite possibly be the greatest salad in existence because it’s basically 99% bread and 1% greens.
Shiitake Egg Rolls
Crispy egg rolls filled with shiitake mushrooms, green cabbage, and carrots — the perfect appetizer to literally any meal. Also works great as a snack. Also works great as the entire meal itself if you have no self control (@ myself).
My Favorite Fried Rice
What should you do your with old, stale rice? Make THE BEST fried rice ever. Simple, flavorful, no frills — though it definitely takes well to frills if you want to load it up with extra veg or meat.
Pulled Mushroom BBQ Sandwiches
Another mushroom recipe because that’s just my personal brand, okay? Pulled oyster mushrooms + bbq sauce + creamy coleslaw? It’s like summertime heaven in a bun.
Brown Butter Garlic Noodles
This is probably the most simple, most delicious, most decadent pasta dish I’ve ever made. Garlic, butter, and burrata are the only 3 things I care about since eating this.
Harissa Shakshuka
I’m a little bit mad that I didn’t realize shakshuka was a thing until a couple years ago. The amount of shakuka I’ve eaten in the last two years probably makes up for it though. Here’s my version ft. crushed tomatoes, spicy harissa paste, and crumbles of feta cheese.
