Egg rolls are a perfect party food, and these ones are packed with a fruity heat, chicken, black beans, and a cabbage cilantro slaw. Set aside some of the mango habanero sauce for dipping! The sauce takes a little bit of love and a lot of mise en place. To make life easier on myself…

Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings
I’m not going to talk much about these wings, because you should just go make them! They were so luscious I barely used my dipping sauce…and I love some thick creamy ranch or bleu cheese. While I did put spice in the breading and butter sauce, these wings absolutely will not offend your spice adverse…
French Dip Sliders
Party food is my favorite type of food to make…yes that is a very broad category to call my favorite but planning a full menu, making sure all the food goes together but brings it’s own special flavor to the party is something I love to do. I also love making smaller bites so there…
Coconut Chicken with Peanut Sauce
As I’ve mentioned before, we love rice bowls. This includes the sweet and creamy coconut rice. The coconut rice and peanut sauce is what really makes the dish…bringing the rich sweet flavors of peanut together with the bright ginger and acidic lime zest. I started with the rice since rice likes to take its sweet…
Meatball Bahn Mi
We love bahn mi sandwiches, in fact they are one of the few sandwiches he actually approves of that isn’t toasted. I have found that for me it’s easier to make a really flavorful meatball and then add the traditional toppings. For a good bahn mi you have to find a good hoagie that isn’t…
Sweet and Spicy Salmon Bowl
Rice bowls are one of my favorite lunches and so easy to throw together and enjoy. This salmon bowl was no exception. I started rice, coated the salmon in my sweet chili sauce, and while that baked I chopped, sliced, diced fresh fruit and veggies and then we had a fresh and bright bowl for…
Sweet Chili Sauce
This is one of my favorite sauces. We love to use it for dipping egg rolls, potstickers, my husband even likes it to spice up mac and cheese…I’m not sure if I recommend that or not. I also love to use this sauce in cabbage slaws and on fish. Be creative with your uses and…
Citrus Carnitas Tacos
Happy taco Tuesday! For this round of tacos I turned to my favorite taco meat, pork. Some deliciously slowed cooked pork roast, paired with bright citrus flavors and pickled red onions are what we needed to brighten up dinner on another wintery day. On this post I have a few different recipes. One for the…
Almond Chia Seed Muffins
We love muffins in this house. They are our go-to breakfast, unless it’s the weekend or I’ve prepped something else ahead, I am notoriously bad at making breakfast each day. So every once in awhile I will make a big batch of muffins, bag some up for the next couple days and freeze the rest….
Pan-Seared Chicken with Tarragon Cream Sauce
The deliciously herbal flavor of tarragon pairs perfectly with the bright pop of cherry tomatoes. The layers of flavor in this sauce tastes like it was a long labor of love but the meal came together in just around 30 minutes.
