Having made an extra batch of pickled vegetables for my soba bowl, I had to figure out what to do with them before they go bad. For no rhyme or reason, I wanted some tacos. The first time I was exposed to the world of fusion tacos was in LA. I don’t remember where I was, but I tasted these novel things called “Korean tacos.” Mind BLOWN. Who would have thought that Asian and Mexican flavors could coexist?...
Asparagus Potato Hash With Steak And Eggs It must be a man thing. Meat and potatoes. My husband’s favourite meal, as well as any other man out there. Don’t get me wrong I love meat and potatoes myself, however it’s not something I could eat all the time. Not my husband, he can actually eat meat and potatoes all the time, as well as sandwiches. I supposed I should consider myself lucky, it does make it super easy for me whenever we don’t know what to make for dinner, we turn to sandwiches....
After all these years, I haven’t learned how to make marble rye yet, but I can make delicious marble muffins! I think I’ll be fine for now. These muffins look a bit complicated, but the trick is all in the layering. Just prep one banana batter, one chocolate batter, layer, swirl, bake, and lo and behold: soft, moist, delicious, yummy, chocolatey muffins. (Coincidentally, at the International Food Bloggers Conference, we were told to stray away from using these adjectives such as yummy and soft because they’re not descriptive enough....

Pad Thai also usually contains eggs, but I’ve left that out here. If you want to add extra protein, try my crispy Air Fryer Tofu or Baked Tofu as an alternative! How Do You Make it Vegan? To make a Vegan Pad Thai sauce, all you need is 4 simple ingredients: Soy sauce (I use tamari, to keep it gluten-free) Lime juice Sriracha Maple syrup The combination of maple syrup and lime juice replace the need for tamarind paste, and I find the lime adds enough tartness that I don’t need to add vinegar, either....

Anyone can make a BLT salad (the name is a dead giveaway of the ingredients and it’s basically a deconstructed sandwich) but not every BLT dressing is created equal! A few years ago, we attended my husbands’ cousin’s wedding and their reception was in a fancy hotel in Washington state. There was a salad on the menu and the dressing tasted just like a favorite salad of ours (Creamy Cucumber and Tomato Salad) except it was served over a bed of greens and I thought – “YAAAASSSS!...
Blueberry smoothies can be tricky to get right. These berries aren’t super sweet on their own, especially when frozen, so they need to be paired with something sweet and tangy for the best flavor. In this case, bananas add a creamy sweet texture, and the addition of orange juice brightens it up without the need for extra sweetener. My kids go crazy for this combination, and I love that they’re getting an extra boost of vitamins and minerals with each sip....

My son made this caramel corn pops dessert and I took the pictures (ok maybe I did the stirring at the stove and lifting of the heavy pot), but he was in charge and I was second in command. There’s alot that a kid can do to help with this recipe: unwrapping the little cubes of caramel, eating handfuls of cereal when Mom isn’t looking, being silly for pictures and of course, eating the finished product and feeling mighty proud of themselves....

It’s difficult enough to get picky eaters to stomach vegetables sometimes. Try getting them excited for greens on Super Bowl Sunday.

Of course, there’s always that friend who contributes the token vegetable platter of baby carrots, celery sticks, sliced bell peppers, and cucumbers. Bless that friend....
