Mung Bean Dal
I know, I know. I just said three words that probably confused you. But trust me, this is good. Mung beans are used everywhere in Vietnamese cuisine – from sweet soups, to rice, to its paste being used in clear noodles. They’re in the dried goods section of the market, and can come green (whole) … Continue reading
Acorn Squash Curry
Another vegetarian dish! I love acorn squash and I love curry, so why not combine the two? I made this simple dish for one of our vegetarian nights, but feel free to add some shrimp or chicken breast to it if you like. It would also be delicious. Don’t worry if the acorn squash falls … Continue reading
Veggie Burgers
I love vegetarian food. I wouldn’t bother calling myself a vegetarian, but I’m not all crazy when it comes to meats. We eat vegetarian twice a week, and I’ve been experimenting with beans and tofu. I always resort to tofu when I don’t know what to cook, so this time I picked up some chickpeas. … Continue reading
Caramelized Wild Salmon with Veggies & Brown Rice
Love salmon? I think this recipe will just about do it for ya. I usually bake salmon in the oven, fillet-style, but this time wanted to try something different that could be served atop some brown rice and simple veggies. Caramelized Wild Salmon with Veggies and Brown Rice serves 2-3 2/3 lb wild salmon fillet, … Continue reading
Herbed Meatball Hoagie
There’s nothing like having friends who are creative in the kitchen. We get to bounce meal ideas off each other, and ultimately get out of our cooking ruts by learning something new. Phi, Karen, and Judy come to mind when I think of friends who have that innate ability to cook. Phi is someone who … Continue reading
Sugar Snap Peas and Shrimp with Thai Basil

Salt and pepper only get you so far in your kitchen, after all. 🙂 I picked up some ginger, a variety of cooking sauces, herbs, noodles, and rice paper rolls to make our … Continue reading
Simple Spaghetti with Turkey Meatballs
Hello, it’s been awhile! I apologize for taking a little blog-iday, but it was very much-needed due to this move to Houston. It’s been a little over a week and I am still trying to sort out some sense of direction, learn the geography of the city (thank goodness we bought that GPS before we … Continue reading
Cơm Gà – Vietnamese Chicken and Rice
I apologize for the delay in posting lately, as I’ve been overseas and devoting all my time towards volunteer work in Vietnam. Now, I’m back, and over my jet lag (well, sorta). I spent some quality time with my mom today, and jumped at the opportunity to help her make cơm gà for tonight’s dinner. … Continue reading
Chicken Sausage, Eggplant and Roasted Bell Pepper Pizza
Truth #1: I like pizza. A lot. Truth #2: I love roasted veggies. It’s a lovely combination, really. And it’s super easy. It can feed a good number of people in your family, too! I simply rolled out some store-bought whole-wheat pizza dough (it’s gotta be fresh dough though!), and covered it generously with a … Continue reading
Guest Post: Ahi Tuna Wraps
I’m introducing you all to my good friend, “Pheobes.” She loves to cook, and I seriously owe her for all the dinners she’s made me the past gazillion years. Here, her inspiration for this dish was Hawaiian poke (pronounced “po-kay”). She took the idea of poke (meaning “small, cut pieces”), sprinkled on a little Vietnamese … Continue reading
