I often get asked how to make Asian food. For some reason people think it’s complicated or has a lot of hard to find ingredients. Sure, if you’re going super authentic it might be more time consuming or require a trip to a specialty store but most every Asian recipe I make is super quick…

Soup’s On: Southwest Loaded Potato Soup
What’s better than a big, warm bowl of soup on a chilly Fall night? Nothing really. Well, probably a big, warm bowl that can be on your table in about 30 minutes. Am I right?! With Thanksgiving coming up quick I’ve been thinking about ways to re-purpose leftovers. While I love a plate of leftovers I…
Brown Bag Lunch – Greek Chicken Salad
You know I am a HUGE advocate for meal planning and prepping so this recipe is perfect to have in your back pocket. Not only is it super easy, I keep the majority of these ingredients on hand so it’s quick and affordable too! This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken…
Happy Hour: Despertar a los muertos
It’s Halloween so you should have some BOOze! 🙂
Weeknight Warrior: Pad Thai
Can we please make Pad Thai Tuesday a thing?!
Slow-Cooker Sunday: Short Rib Ragu
Slow-cooker Sunday for me doesn’t necessarily mean breaking out the crock-pot. In this instance it means breaking out a big heavy pot and letting the oven do all the work! I love taking the time to slowly craft a perfect dish on the weekends. There is something incredibly relaxing about dicing, searing, stirring, and bringing…

Happy Hour – Hawkeye’s Gin Martini
When you think martini you probably think Bond, James Bond, right? Shaken, not stirred? A big, ole, yucky olive? Nope. Nope. Nope. Absolutely not. I guess I’m a cocktail snob but one of my biggest pet peeves is when I order a martini and it’s automatically assumed I want a dirty vodka martini. When I…
Old Made New, Classics Re-Imagined – Curry Chicken Potpie
I’ve noticed that a lot of the recipes I’m drawn to lately are classics. I think it probably has a lot to do with the fact that it’s October, there’s a slight nip in the air (between 80 degree southern days), it’s my absolute favorite season that takes me back to my small farm town…
The Holy Grail – Chicken Tikka Masala
I found it! My Holy Grail! I have been on the quest to find the perfect Chicken Tikka Masala recipe that lives up to my favorite Indian restaurants but it has alluded me. I’ve made some good tikka but every time has just been slightly underwhelming and I haven’t been able to put my finger…
