If you believe that soups have no place in summer, you might want to rethink that once you read today’s recipe. Soups generally fall into two main categories (I am sure you can think of more) – creamy soups and lighter broth-like soups. While the thicker and creamier soups made with melons, tubers and other…
Garlic Butter Pasta With Herbed Chicken
I love a good pasta dish, but sometimes the sauce instead of elevating the dish, weighs it down and becomes too heavy for a weeknight dinner. If you’ve ever felt that way and do not include pasta too often in your meal plan, then this recipe is for you. This pasta recipe is light and…
Pasta With Sausage And A Fresh Spinach-Cilantro-Almond Pesto
Everyone knows pesto, right? The vibrant, fresh, literally green cousin of the full-bodied marinara and the hearty alfredo. Pesto is the black sheep of the family. He makes pasta almost healthy… gasp! How dare he, right?! Pesto is really easy to make, but doesn’t exactly get the respect it deserves. Okay, I have now officially…
Roasted Chicken And Ramen Noodles Soup
I hate it when my little Boy falls sick, even if it’s just the sniffles. I feel as if the universe conspires to make an otherwise sweet Boy feel miserable and sick. The biggest challenge when he is feeling down is feeding him something worthwhile. It has to be something mild, nutritious, easy to eat…
Vegetable Lo Mein
A lo mein is one of those immensely satisfying yet super simple recipes out there. And when you add a medley of colorful seasonal vegetables, you can be assured it is healthy too. I always try out different combinations of sauces and condiments while making Chinese, this time was no different. The best way to…
Tofu In A Chili-Garlic Sauce {Served Over Crispy Noodles}
I just love Chinese, not the sweet American-Chinese (which is just weird, IMO), but the spicy Chinese and Indo-Chinese cuisine. I’ve also come to love tofu over the past year. The best tofu I’ve had was at a local Chinese restaurant. They thankfully do not serve sweet chicken or tofu. I love their pot-stickers, dumplings…
Chicken & Peas Pasta With Creamy Tomato Sauce
I love Alfredo sauce, the mister is a marinara guy, while Boy is content with extra cheesy macaroni. This always puts me in a quandary when making pasta. It’s not that I have anything personal against tomatoes. But a few overly sour encounters put me off marinara for good. Or so I thought. Then it…
Khao Soi – Thai Noodles With Spicy Chicken Curry Sauce
I have often written about my love for Oriental and South Asian cuisine. But I find most of the fare offered at Chinese or Thai restaurants here to be similar in taste and texture. I think this may be because they are catering to a foreign palate. Similar to how most curries in some Indian…
Chinese Rice Noodle Soup
The internet is a wonderful tool, and so is blogging. There is so much inspiration around us. This is especially true in the case of foodie blogs. It is so addictive, dangerous even. You may get fixated on some mouth-watering dish created by someone half a world away, and you just have to try it…
