Summer is in full swing folks! That means trips to the pool, the beach, perhaps even a trip to the grocers freezer aisle to cool off if neither of the previous two are available. …
Summer Berry Pudding
Before my husband and I were married, one of our first dates was a canoe trip. We planned to have a picnic on one of the giant-flat rocks that sat in the middle of the river - it would be the first time I would prepare food for my then boyfriend…so I wanted to impress. I packed a bottle of wine, ...
Korean-Mexican Grilled Corn
Grilled corn is one of the summer's greatest pleasures. Slightly charred kernels, the natural sweetness shining through, it is a rock-star on the grill. If you've had Mexican street corn, then you know how insanely delicious grilled corn can be. Sweet ears of corn hot off the grill are slathered in ...
Spiced Trail Mix Popcorn
I've got a back-to-back post for you! Generally I would wait to post this on Friday, but I'm heading to Oregon for a camping trip with my cousin (might as well be my sister) and her family. I've been assigned to food detail, and I have a 4 day breakfast, lunch, and dinner planned for the 5 of us. ...
Black Bean and Corn Salad
Moving is hard. It has now been 16 days (not including our week long drive out from one coast to the other) that we've been without our household goods. It can be difficult to eat well when you don't have a kitchen, but you can make it happen! All you need is just a few basic kitchen items. ...
Bánh Mì Hot Dogs
Hey everyone! We finally made it to the Bay Area! Yay!!! We took about a week to drive from Atlanta and it's nice to finally be here in our new home! We have nothing but a suitcase full of clothes and a blow-up mattress to sleep on... unfortunately our household goods don't arrive for another ...

Edamame and Radish Crostini
Everywhere I look, I'm seeing green. With the abundance of rain we've received recently in the San Francisco Bay Area, all of those brown hills have turned green (50 shades of green as my husband jokes). In the morning, the fog hangs around the tops of the hills and it reminds me of the rolling ...
Soba Noodle Salad with Walnut Pesto
Healthy and filling - this Soba Noodle Salad with Walnut Pesto is an easy way to get a good dose of greens in a delicious way! I LOVE spring!

Meatball Bánh Mì Sandwich
This is a fantastic weeknight meal - start to finish you can have this baby on the table in about 20 - 25 minutes! The meatballs are so perfectly moist and packed with so much flavor, you may be in danger of finishing them off before they even make it into the sandwich! ...

Spicy Miso Zucchini Ramen Noodles
Ramen in just 30 minutes?! Oh hell yes! Ok, so it's not 'ramen' per se. Ok, ok, ok... it's not ramen at all. But it's certainly ramen-esque. Believe me, if anyone could live on ramen, it's me. As a fan, I have made my own alkaline noodles, purchasing potassium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate ...
