Chicken Satay

Another installment of food on a stick, thanks to inspiration from buddies Matt & Adam and their book titled…uh…On a Stick…which is always more fun to eat than food on a fork. Plus you get to play sword fight with the sticks after you eat (you do...
Asian Steak Kabobs

Asian Steak Kabobs

We’ve been kabob happy lately, and it’s all because of this man: click on photos to see where we were! and this man: My kids want to be Adam when they grow up. These two men wrote this book: Get this book! I know you’ll love it! Chicken and Waffles...
Bacon, Egg and Toast Cups

Bacon, Egg and Toast Cups

I’m not normally into cute food. I’d rather have my food look delicious and say, “Eat. Me. Now.” Cute food makes me a little sad and guilty when I take that first bite, especially if the food has an adorable smiley face on it. Poor disfigured...
Peppercorn Crusted Filet Mignon with Balsamic Red Wine Sauce

Peppercorn Crusted Filet Mignon with Balsamic Red Wine Sauce

We splurge on filet mignon a few times a year, it’s the most expensive cut of steak because it’s incredibly tender and you can only get about 9 filets per cow. Instead of buying the filet mignon piece by piece, we always get the entire tenderloin and spend the time to...

Asian Slaw with Ponzu Dressing

Asian Slaw with Ponzu Dressing

Steak with Whiskey Mushroom Sauce

Steak with Whiskey Mushroom Sauce

For our family, if there ever was a PERFECT cut of steak, it would be the bad-boy Porterhouse steak. It’s big. It’s massive. One giant hunk will feed our family of four. But before I get into our love for Porterhouse (because I’ll get carried away...
How to Make Kimchi

How to Make Kimchi

I. LOVE. KIMCHI. I love it on rice, in tacos (and just for the record, I did this before Kogi even!), I love it with seaweed, rice and spam (okay, don’t roll your eyes….it’s GOOD!), in soups (Kimchi Jigae) and to spice up midnight instant noodles....
