Pancetta & Sage Stuffing

November 24, 2015 Leave a Comment

Duck aside, this stuffing was, for me, the highlight of our Friendsgiving meal. I will always secretly love out-of-the-box stuffing best, but this pancetta/sage version is truly killer. To start with, the base of this recipe was the most glorious loaf of white bread (from the Chinese market up the street, oddly enough). I know white bread is supposed…read more »

Crock Pot Kalua Pork + Hawaii

August 5, 2015 2 Comments

I’m baaaaaack! From Hawaii AND from my blogging hiatus. I return bearing gifts of pictures and stories and tasty recipes inspired by our trip to paradise. Just so you know, I’m still in denial about being back from the islands, so the next few recipes I post will be Hawaiian or Hawaii-inspired. Deal with it. OK? OK. Alright, let’s…read more »

Crock Pot Al Pastor

April 8, 2015 10 Comments

I’ve told you guys my al pastor story before, right? (Ugh, look at those crappy old pictures). You know…a taqueria opened up in the student center across the street from my dorm sophomore year, and I simultaneously discovered a deep passion for al pastor burritos and gained 10 lbs in one semester? It was a…read more »

Bangers & Mash

March 16, 2015 6 Comments

Guys. I had so many plans for my St. Paddy’s day posts. I was going to make soda bread, Irish apple cake with a creamy whiskey sauce, potatoes, and lots of gratuitously green things. I had these things all planned at weeks ago, so that I’d have everything ready to go in time for the…read more »

Snacktastic Sundays: Chinese Potstickers

November 9, 2014 16 Comments

Another short post today, guys! Dan absolutely cannot control himself around pork dumplings, and there wasn’t a Patriots game today to distract him from my kitchen/blogging activities, so I didn’t have a whole lot of time to snap pictures before he started getting impatient for his dumpling dinner. There’s nothing like a hungry, aggressively hovering husband to…read more »

Snacktastic Sundays: Crock Pot Carnitas Tacos

So…this Snacktastic Sunday post is a little late. Sorry, y’all. But hey, I’ve still got a tasty recipe for you, so…let’s just call it even, OK? OK! Alright, moving on then. Today’s recipe is another Crock Pot recipe, and it’s stupendously easy. I threw everything together around 10:30pm Friday night, set the slow cooker to “low”,…read more »

Snacktastic Sundays: Classic Pigs-in-a-Blanket

October 5, 2014 2 Comments

Now that it’s fall and we’re well into football season, I’ve decided to start a new weekly blog series. I’ll call it Snacktastic Sundays (it’s a working title), and feature one new game day snack recipe per week. On Sundays, obviously, ‘cuz that’s when all the big football action goes down. I guess technically there are football games on Mondays…read more »

Momofuku Steamed Pork Buns

June 22, 2014 14 Comments

So, Father’s Day was last week. My original plan was to have one big family brunch with my parents and the in-laws, since Dan’s family was already in town for a family wedding, but then I found out there was already a big post-wedding brunch planned with the bride’s family, so…the great Rodgers-Hu Father’s Day…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 »

Pork Belly Benedict

December 1, 2012 12 Comments

Guys. Have you ever tasted roasted pork belly? Are you aware that it is the most delicious thing ever? It’s super rich, fork-tender and flavorful, and has the most wonderful caramelized crispy bits. If I weren’t on a wedding diet, I’d definitely eat this stuff every single day. Holla at you later, arteries — pass…read more »
