Korean BBQ Short Ribs (Kalbi)

June 25, 2013 4 Comments

This post is dedicated to my friend Susan who, after months and months of promising to do guest posts of her family’s favorite Korean dishes, finally just sent me her mom’s Kalbi recipe so that I would stop harassing her while she was neck deep in finals and bar exam prep.  I still want to…read more »

Steamed Pork Buns (Bao Zi)

February 10, 2013 13 Comments

Last year, for Chinese Lunar New Year, I made…a Strawberries & Cream Pie. Super delicious, but not exactly culturally relevant/appropriate. This year, I was determined to be a Good Chinese Girl and actually cook something Chinese. After all, it’s my dad’s zodiac year, and I wanted to make something in honor of his special year. Steamed…read more »

Open-Faced Portobello Burger

Happy Martin Luther King Day, everyone! And, happy Inauguration! Did you guys watch the festivities on TV this morning? I did, and let me tell you…the view from my couch this year was way better (and warmer) than it was in 2008 when my friends and I packed into the National Mall to see the action. And,…read more »

Spinach & Mushroom Pita Pizza

January 2, 2013 6 Comments

Happy 2013, everyone! Did you guys eat as much over the holidays as I did? Man, it was ridiculous. Between all the parties and family dinners and weddings, I am stuffed to the gills with good food. Cookies, cake, fudge, roasts, steaks, biscuits, pies, potatoes, pasta…the list just went on and on. Everything was fabulously…read more »

Jalapeno Jack Meatloaf with Creamy Mushroom Sauce

November 1, 2012 8 Comments

Did you guys get any Sandy action this weekend? We did. Wind, rain, and power loss – oh my! Fortunately the Northern VA area didn’t get hit nearly as hard as NJ and NY, and we only lost power for about a day. With all the wine and snacks we stocked up on before the storm,…read more »

Tex-Mex Burger

Even though I regularly follow about a dozen food blogs, there are really only a handful of bloggers that I consistently turn to when I want ideas for certain things. Need a cupcake recipe? Annie’s Eats is the way to go. Margaritas? Definitely Confections of a Foodie Bride. Bars and brownies? Hello, Pinch of Yum….read more »

Creamy Garlic Chicken and Buttermilk Biscuits

September 29, 2012 10 Comments

Since starting my pre-wedding diet a few weeks ago, I’ve been pretty good about eating healthy. Lots of fruits/vegetables and lean proteins, limited carb intake, etc. And, any desserts I make get pawned off on other people. Most days, it’s actually not so bad. I’ve almost gotten used to eating right and exercising. But this morning…read more »

Easy Chicken Cacciatore

A few weeks ago the good folks at Progresso asked me if they could send me a pack of their new Recipe Starters to try. Ummm, could they send me a whole bunch of free, yummy, pre-made cooking sauces that will give my dinners oomph and save me from slaving over the stove for hours? Obviously yes….read more »

Homemade Hot Pockets

Now that I’m working and living on my own, I have a new appreciation for my mom’s ability to put together amazing meals for us every night when I was a kid. Despite juggling grad school, lab, and later, a full time job and my extracurricular activities, she always managed to throw together the most…read more »

Prosciutto Manchego Sandwich with Spinach and Fig Preserves

August 19, 2012 2 Comments

One of the greatest things about working downtown is that there are endless delicious lunch options within walking distance of my office.  When I feel like sushi, there’s a decent place tucked into the food court up the street. On days when I’m dying for a burrito, I can hit up any one of the…read more »
