Everyone has one of those days. You know, the day you’re too busy to spend much time thinking about what you’re going to make for dinner. Then before you know it, your home, starving and standing in front of your almost empty refrigerator asking yourself, “what on earth am I going to make?”. When this [...]

This dish is a little sentimental for me. You see, when Ryan and I had our first date a little over a decade ago, we went to a Mongolian BBQ. If you’ve never been, its an all you can eat restaurant concept where you pick and choose your meat and veggies and then they cook [...]

If there were a list of my all-time favorite appetizers, potstickers would be near the top with wontons, eggrolls, chips and salsa and calamari. Like wontons and eggrolls, you can get just about any mixture of flavors inside potstickers. I have had them with shrimp, beef, chicken and veggies only. For this recipe, I wanted [...]

My plan was to share all 4th of July recipes with you this week, but I made these last night and I couldn’t resist sharing them with you today. They were that good. I was inspired to make these by a meal that Ryan ordered when we visited an Asian restaurant recently. These meatballs include [...]

Mmmm…rolls. Not the kind you serve with turkey at Thanksgiving, but the Asian style wrap kind. The kind stuffed with tons of wonderful goodies. From ground pork to shrimp to veggies only.  I’m talking about egg rolls, spring rolls, lumpia, summer rolls, salad rolls. Whatever you want to call it, I love them.  You can [...]

The other day I went to lunch with a friend  to one of those places where you walk through a line of food, put it in your container and then pay by the weight. It was a pretty good place, I was trying to be healthy so I made a simple salad, but one of [...]

I have been on an Asian food kick lately so I thought I would do an Asian twist to meatballs. I already posted my Teriyaki Turkey Meatballs a little while back but this time I went with something without a sauce. I combined many of the flavors that I love including serrano peppers, fresh ginger, [...]

One of my favorite weeknight dinners to make is chicken strips because they are quick and usually a crowd pleaser. When the craving strikes, I usually turn to my recipe for Crunchy Cajun Chicken Tenders, but this week I wanted to try something a little different. I love the combination of sesame seeds and chicken [...]

I usually try to plan a weekly menu so that way when I go to the grocery store I know exactly what I am getting. I find it saves me time and money. This past Sunday was no different. I had my menu planned out and bought everything I needed for the week, or so [...]

I have shared recipes for wontons in the past, first my Jalapeno Cream Cheese Wontons, then my Crispy Pork Wontons and most recently my Strawberry and Nutella Wontons.  For this wonton recipe I thought I would go back to where my love affair with wontons started, the crab wonton. When you go to Asian restaurants [...]
