Spicy, sweet, savory, and a bit funky—all the good flavors! I love gojuchang chili paste, so I’m always excited to find a new way to use it. I often saw this fried chicken on the Korean dramas and it looked so good! Sadly, there aren’t many Korean restaurants nearby, and the ones that are don’t …
What’s more romantic than Chicken Pot Pie? Chicken Pot Pie with heart shaped biscuits of course! I love chicken pot pie, I love anything stew like really… I really appreciate how it’s an all in one meal. Meat, veggies, gravy, and biscuits. No need to cut up bread for dipping. It’s all there! The biscuit …
In-n-Out Burger won’t come to the Midwest, so in order to enjoy “Animal Style”, you have to make it yourself. Now In-n-Out doesn’t have a veggie burger option, but this is America and I do what I want. The black bean burgers are pretty easy to make. It’s mostly made up of crushed black beans …
Make your own ravioli in garlic butter—broiled with a crunchy Parmesan crust. There are no words for how delicious this pasta is!

Of course being nowhere near a Japanese restaurant that serves okonomiyaki, I have to make it myself with a limited American pantry. Now if …
Tomatoes, avocados, red onion, lettuce and smear of cream cheese on 2 toasted slices of Ezekiel bread. Works well as a breakfast or lunch. Well, well, well, what is this? You know how to make healthy foods? Yeah. What of it! Sometimes you just gotta eat some healthy food to make room for all the …
A creamy spiced spinach filling with marinara sauce. This one is for the folks who are kinda meh about ricotta. I really only like ricotta in desserts, so when I make pasta filling it’s usually this one! I know it seems like a lot of work to make the sauce and the filling, but hey… …
Thick, tasty focaccia like pizza covered in cheese and tomato sauce. The crust is crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. It’s not really like a pizza, but more like a bread. The ingredients are flipped as well. Cheese goes down first and is topped with the pizza sauce. Why? I have no …
