I feel like I've got a bit of a theme going...I keep writing recipes for things that seem much more difficult than they actually are to make. This is 100% one of those things. Pasta is one of the things that I like to make to impress people (or make people think I went through…
This is one of our absolute favorite salads to order when we're out or toss together as a refreshing side to pretty much any Asian meal. Cucumbers are so often overlooked and just tossed into a salad or thrown into a juicer with 10 other vegetables. It's not very often that they take center stage…
If you've ever been to Mexico (not, staying at a fancy hotel in Cabo, Mexico, but proper Mexico) you know how insanely good the smell of roadside chicken is. For those of you who don't know the smell, it is the best thing in the world. Spatchcocked chickens, marinated in a spicy, citrusy, delicious marinate…
This one of those things, similar to my Thai Green Curry Paste recipe, that if you have the time, you could (should) be making at home instead of buying from a store. You pretty much put everything into a food processor and voilà! you've got hummus. Too easy. Makes 3 cups hummus 800g chickpeas (2 cans),…
I'm that annoying person that says they're hungry, leaves the house without eating or grabbing a snack, then complains about how hungry they are until they finally get food an hour or so later. In an effort to not be that person, Hayden suggested that I make a bar, similar to the ones I'm always…
When I'm excited about making something, I almost always ask my Mom or Dad for a recipe or their thoughts on what to do. So when I told my dad I wanted to make spaghetti and meatballs with a simple tomato sauce, he sent me the tomato sauce recipe from the Frankie Spuntino cook book…
I, like most people, fall into 'not amazing habits'. One of these not amazing habits is getting lazy and buying something pre-made from the shops to make dinner a million times easier. Things like, roast chicken (is there anything better than the smell of those roasted chickens?!?), tomato sauce (like spaghetti and meatballs tomato sauce,…
This is one of my go-to dinners that, like my favorite pasta, seems to always be perfect when you can't decide what you want. Hayden is a big fan of eating the leftovers (if there are any) the next day for breakfast or lunch. *This is very similar to my vegetable tagine recipe. Serves 6 6-8 chicken thighs, skin…
I first made these flat breads about a year ago. I had a few hours to spare and felt like trying something new. This was a BIG mistake. I now HAVE TO make them for any meal you could possibly eat a flat bread on or with because Hayden likes them so much. Yeah, they're…
