THANK YOU! Why I am Deleting My Account…

I wanted to take a minute to thank everyone who has taken the time to read my posts, give me a “like” or even subscribe to my site. A few months ago I decided that I would like to take my blog to the next level and utilize a hosting provider. Because of this, my…

Boeuf aux Carottes (French Beef with Carrots)

I know I say this all the time but this one was just so good! It looks like it would be similar to an American beef stew but I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn’t (I am not usually a beef stew fan).  The sauce, instead of being super beefy, was actually pretty sweet! One…

Pad Thai

When I first decided to do Thailand this week I knew I had to cover Pad Thai – it is my takeout go to! The thing I didn’t realize? How “Americanized” most of the Pad Thai is that we can get in the United States. **A lot of what goes into that sweet and tangy…

Tom Kha Gai (Thai Chicken Coconut Soup)

What a comfy cozy soup! I couldn’t believe how easy this one was and it came out so perfect. The real show stopper? – that broth! While chicken and mushrooms are the more standout components visually, the broth is packed full of amazing flavor from the infusion of ginger, galangal, Thai chili peppers, lemongrass and…

Chilean Leche Asada

Leche Asada, a favorite of Chile, is very creamy and smooth with a sweet caramel top layer making it the perfect finale to even out a salty and savory dinner. To be honest, making this was way, WAY, easier than I thought it would be and a perfect dessert following my Chilean Empanadas de Pino…

Chilean Empanadas de Pino

Empanadas are a favorite of many South American countries and the variations are incredible. I love how versatile empanadas are while also being so convenient! The first time I ever had one was from a food truck…then I went and got another because it was that good. Ranging from savory mealtime foods to sweet dessert…

Chilean Pebre

This is DELICIOUS and definitely has that “I’d put that @*#& on anything” appeal. I used this as a dipping sauce recently for my Chilean Empanadas de Pino and Russell and I couldn’t get enough of it. When the empanadas were gone, Russell even said that he wished we had chips so he could keep…

French Onion Soup

French onion soup has been a favorite of mine for as long as I can remember. When I was a kid, I used to order it at the resort my family and I stayed at during the summer in the lakes region of New Hampshire and the combination of the melty cheese mixed with the…

Authentic Saag Paneer

Saag is a traditional Indian dish with countless variations. The word “saag” literally means “greens” in English so there is no surprise that this dish is chock-full of various kinds of leafy green vegetables from spinach and mustard greens to collard and turnip greens and everything in between. The greens, spices and additions used in…

Paneer Cheese

Paneer cheese is a staple food of the Indian subcontinent for hundreds of years where it is made fresh daily. Here in the United States, when cooking with paneer it is fairly common to purchase it pre-made from the store but now that I know how easy (and DELICIOUS!) it is to make from scratch…
