A few weeks ago, I bought a book of knitting patterns for babies. I am a total novice knitter, so I wasn’t expecting to actually complete anything, but I’ve now made two hats! I was only planning on making 1, but the first one turned out to be kind [...]

I guess I should come clean, since Mike called me out in the comments of the last post, and publicly admit that I went to Bi-Rite Creamery twice in less than 24 hours (and for those keeping count, yes, that’s 4 scoops of ice cream in less than 24 [...] Yakisoba seems like such a good idea, but is usually swimming in grease and harboring hidden pieces of meat in between all the noodles and vegetables. It’s a shame because the basic idea is so good, but the execution usually leaves a lot to be desired. Or maybe that’s [...] I almost always order something really similar to this any time we go out for Japanese food, but I figured there had to be a way to make it myself. Unfortunately this isn’t vegetarian (I occasionally eat fish products), but I’ve done some research and apparently you can make [...] I can be really, atrociously terrible at following directions, and this dinner, unfortunately, is a perfect example.

A close relative of these Korean pancakes, this has a light, fluffy texture thanks to the water and small amount of flour mixed in with the egg. There are also lots of great flavors [...] While I love pretty much ALL noodles, I think these buckwheat soba noodles are my favorite. I made a simple stir fry flavored with oyster sauce, and tossed it with soba for a quick and healthy dinner. Shopping here has definitely been a big adjustment; I’ll have an idea [...] For me, comfort food takes many forms. I will happily dig into a huge bowl of macaroni and cheese, or I could just as easily be delighted with a bowl of miso soup. This dinner is a nice compromise, with the hearty soba noodles, earthy flavor of miso and shiitake [...] This is a great way to cook chicken without adding any fat, and it gives the meat great flavor while keeping it tender. Served over rice, it’s a delicious and simple meal with a nice amount of protein to keep you going. I added a lot of broth to my [...] |
