I’m a little obsessed with peanut sauce. Who is with me? It makes everything taste amazing. If you love peanut sauce, you HAVE to try this recipe! It pairs so well with fluffy bulgur wheat and spring veggies like asparagus and peas. This is another one of those recipes that was inspired by things in…
Asian
Thai Quinoa Cabbage Rolls (Vegetarian)
I somehow ended up with 3 heads of cabbage in my fridge. Not my fault. I like cabbage just as much as the next person, but I don’t have a ton of go-to cabbaged based recipes. I mean, I have a few, but not enough for 3 heads of it! But I have never let…
Asian Noodle Soup (Cheater Vegetarian Ramen)
I’m back and it feels good! I took quite the blogging hiatus in order to move across the country, go on some road trips, get settled in a new town, and adjust to a crazy new life style. My husband graduated from medical school in May and started his Intern year of residency a…
Thai Inspired Raviolis with Cauliflower Veggie Filling and Creamy Peanut Sauce
This recipe is kind of out there. I admit it. But why not? Why not fill raviolis with a gingery veggie loaded filling and drizzle creamy peanut sauce over top. Who says Raviolis have to be strictly Italian? I also made it a little more Asian (and a lot easier!) by using wonton wrappers instead…
Quick and Easy Green Curry with Veggies and Chickpeas
In my last post I talked a little about menu planning. I usually have a menu and I buy ingredients according to that menu. And usually buy some extra produce that I can use for snacks and lunches or just in case I can’t make it to the store in between menu plans. This week…
Loaded Thai Sweet Potatoes
We go through so many sweet potatoes in my house. Almost every week I pack a baking sheet full of them and cook them up. My husband loves them and takes them to school with him to eat with his lunch. He is weird and will hold one in his hand and eat it…
Crockpot Red Thai Veggie Curry
Mmmmm…Thai curry. Somebody please make me stop eating these Thai Lime & Chili Almonds from Trader Joe’s. I just ate one of the little dried chili’s and my mouth feels like hot lava. And I’m too lazy to go upstairs to get a drink, so I just keep eating them! I am a huge sucker…
Easy Baked Tempura Veggies
Sometimes I go a little crazy at the grocery store and buy too much produce. My favorite method of using up produce before it goes bad is to make baked tempura veggies. You can use almost any vegetable and it is really easy. I used to make more traditional tempura veggies where I mixed a…
A Healthy St. Patrick’s Day Dinner: Asian Green Veggie Cakes with Spicy Mayo Dipping Sauce
My husband and I are pretty different personalities in the kitchen. I often cling to a recipe for dear life, never straying. He almost never uses a recipe. I have always admired the way he takes whole spices and grinds them himself to make curry, never peeking at a recipe. Its different every time,…
Fresh Vegetable Spring Rolls
How’s the weather where you live? Its been a little moody here in Ohio. Just this week there was frost warning at night and a day later the high was 92. In this spring weather, some days are perfect for soup and some are perfect for this spring roll recipe. I hate using the oven…
