In an attempt to cook healthier foods, I came up with this fennel and turkey ravioli dish. It was inspired by a fennel and artichoke ravioli recipe, but I have no artichoke, and plenty of ground turkey in my fridge. It was one of those nights, scrounging in the fridge for whatever that’s left, and [...]
Valentines day kind of sucks, but getting flowers, chocolates, and eating pizza is pretty cool. So I declare this valentines day a success. Since it’s also Chinese New Years, we decided to do Valentines dinner Saturday night, because we’re going to my parents on Sunday for dinner. We have been talking about making pizza for [...]
Do not read this if you hate deliciousness.
Do you like bacon? Do you like it a little on the softer side? If so, this is for you. This was always a comfort food while I was growing up, and it’s meant to be eaten in moderation. 2 or 3 pieces with a bowl of rice [...]
I’ve always tried to make my own pasta when I have time, so naturally I’ve gone through many pasta dough recipes. Most read the same, flour, eggs, sometimes olive oil. I didn’t know anything better existed, until now. The consistency of this dough beats the others out of the water, it’s so easy to work [...]
mmm wontons – a staple in my household. These are only in the medium hard category because I used pre-made wonton skins which you can get at any asian grocery store (even Target sells them now!). It’s much more fun however to make your own wrappers, tastier too! I usually make wontons in large batches [...]
A while back, I posted some pictures of tasty ribs and carrot cupcakes that Sean and Travis made. Sean has written up the recipe for a coworker of mine, and my coworker got a kick out of it and said I should post it on my blog. So here is the awesomely delicious, but not-so-precise [...]
They should just rename turkey day to Alton Brown day, I mean really, the man already won thanksgiving. Just give him the title. I’ve been pre-baking turkeys for thanksgiving for the past 3 years, mostly because I love turkey and I cannot wait to get one into the oven and then into my belleh. From [...]
super effective for eating that is.
I was very proud of myself for icing little carrots onto this cake. It’s definitely not the best looking cake I’ve ever made, but boy is it ever delicious. The recipe is from (surprise surprise) King Arthur! The one tip I have is to for the love of god, use [...]
If you know me, you know that I hate crusty breads. If we are served crusty breads at a restaurant, I will dig out the soft innards and put the crust on Sean’s plate. When Stacy and Ronnie were off on their crusty sourdough kicks, I was like whatevs have fun chewing crust! I went [...]
I attempted to make duck fried rice today but failed miserably.
First I dropped my spatula on the ground, and little bits of rice fell all over the place and got stuck to my socks. Have you gotten rice stuck to the bottom of your socks? It sucks, it gets all mushy and gunky and your [...]
