Shrimp Po’ Boy Loaded Fries

February 5, 2016 2 Comments

Ah, the humble potato. Beloved of people…everywhere, really. Delicious, nutritious, versatile – truly, there has never been a more perfect food. Fry ’em, bake ’em, boil and/or mash them – short of burning them to a crisp, there is literally (in my opinion) no way for you to make a potato un-appealing. And did you know that they’re good…read more »

Shoyu Ahi Poke

August 24, 2015 6 Comments

You may remember that when Dan and I were in Paris last year, we almost exclusively ate bread and cheese for every meal – not because we didn’t have any other options, but because the stuff was so fresh and delicious. In Oahu, we fell back into our single-food-focused ways, only this time our obsession was with poke instead of bread. Like…read more »

Sunday Brunch: Smoked Salmon, Goat Cheese & Scallion Scrambled Eggs On Toast

April 5, 2015 3 Comments

Happy Easter, everyone! What are you all doing today? In my family, we don’t really have any Easter traditions. When I was a kid, my parents would buy me stuffed bunnies every year and take me to local Easter egg hunts, but once I got older Easter stopped being a thing. I think that happens…read more »

Chinese-Style Whole Steamed Fish

February 26, 2015 8 Comments

In case you think Dan and I spent ALL of last weekend drinking, let me assure you that we did not. Really! Case in point: on Saturday, we had friends over for a belated Chinese New Year celebration. I made Momofuku pork belly buns, scallion pancakes (recipe coming soon!), green beans, and a whole steamed fish. My friend…read more »

Snacktastic Sundays: Three Cheese Crab Dip

October 26, 2014 9 Comments

Short post today, folks. Mostly because it’s ridiculously hard to make white dip/white bread look appetizing in photos, and I had a rough time getting the dip to look like something other than a pile of cheesy vomit. Sigh. Food photography – it makes me crazy sometimes, y’all. But guys, if you can get past the way it looks, this…read more »

Salmon & Avocado Poke Bowl

January 20, 2014 24 Comments

When Dan and I first started dating, he told me that he didn’t really like Asian food. Rice was too bland, and anything more adventurous than Orange Chicken was too much. His idea of Chinese food was Panda Express and the over-sweet, candy-red BBQ ribs and fried egg rolls from some place called China Villa….read more »

Smoked Salmon & Cream Cheese Egg Crepes

March 9, 2013 7 Comments

The problem with being addicted to Food Network is that it makes me want to eat all kinds of things I can’t have (because it’s midnight and I don’t have deep fried bacon in the house), and definitely should not have (seriously…don’t let me eat fried bacon). Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives is the worst. Every…read more »

Chili-Garlic Panko Fried Shrimp

August 10, 2012 5 Comments

Like a lot of Chinese kids growing up in America, I hated eating Chinese food all the time. All I wanted to do was stuff my face with hamburgers, cheese pizzas, chicken nuggets, and all the other American goodies I saw on TV. It wasn’t until I was a little older, and had spent a…read more »

Eggs Chesapeake

March 18, 2012 21 Comments

You know, I really thought that being alone with the cats for four days would be kind of boring and lonely, but so far it’s been pretty great. I’ve completely caught up on sleep, been to the movies, satisfied my craving for lobster rolls, spent an entire guilt-free afternoon shopping at Crate & Barrel and…read more »

Smoked Salmon and Mozzarella Crostini

October 15, 2011 8 Comments

Last month, Dan and I were up in Massachusetts for his cousin Pete’s wedding. It was awesome; possibly one of the best weddings we’ve ever been to. The weather was amazing, the outdoor venue was gorgeous, the ceremony was short and sweet, the dance floor was jumpin’, and there was an open bar + servers…read more »
