Photo incoming, as soon as I remember to take a picture before eating it. Still tinkering with this but I am very very happy with how it comes out. It really scratches that mall chinese food itch, except it tastes better. Couple of notes: I used fresh squeezed orange juice just for funsies, you could… Continue reading Orange Chicken! Although I made it with tofu. But it’s still good.

Calabrian Pesto
I’ve been experimenting with different pestos lately and am really enjoying it. They’re easy to make, pack a ton of flavor, and it turns out there’s a ton of variation. This was one of my recent favorites. As a note, when I looked up these recipes, there seem to be two different lineages that claim… Continue reading Calabrian Pesto
Tzatziki Sauce
Nothing really to say here, it’s just something I wanted to not have to look up next time. And it’s really easy to make at home. It’s great on pita chips or gyros. Also, don’t sweat how finely you need to chop things up. It’s all going to go in a blender. Ingredients 1 cup… Continue reading Tzatziki Sauce
Pasta E Ceci (Pasta with Chickpeas)
Hey look at that! I’m trying that thing where you have a picture of the thing. This is a combination of a couple of recipes I found online. It’s a simply and hearty one pot meal that comes together in under an hour from cheap ingredients, and it tastes great too, so what’s not to… Continue reading Pasta E Ceci (Pasta with Chickpeas)
Chickpea Salad
Like tuna salad or chicken salad, but, you know, with chickpeas. I make sandwiches out of it. I made this with Cajun seasoning because that sounded good to me, but you can use whatever. If you’re in the mood for something more asian, you could use togarashi. Or you could use rosemary and thyme and… Continue reading Chickpea Salad
Creamy Mushroom Pasta with Toasted Pecans
There’s more stuff going in here, it’s a lot. But I was shocked by how well the flavors came together considering it was something I cobbled together out of four different recipes on the internet. Also, I feel like the recipe is deceptively simple. You spend most of the time cooking the mushrooms down. You… Continue reading Creamy Mushroom Pasta with Toasted Pecans
Strawbasil Jam
I am honestly not sure where I got this from, my best guess is that at some point I had a strawberry basil cocktail of some kind. But it’s strawberry and basil jam. Fantastic on pretty much anything. I’ve gotten multiple requests for the recipe so I figured I’d just throw it here. I do… Continue reading Strawbasil Jam
Masala Pasta
Yeah, I’ve been on a pasta kick lately, trying out different stuff. I found this online and tinkered with it and it is shockingly good. A one pot Indian flavored pasta in a tomato cream sauce. It shouldn’t work this well but it does. The kasuri methi is clutch here, it gives it a great… Continue reading Masala Pasta
Mexican pasta?
I guess that’s as good a name for this as anything? I found it online and it’s shockingly good. A great one pot meal with a lot of options so you can customize it the way you want. You can add ground beef, pulled chicken, fake meat, or none of them and just rely on… Continue reading Mexican pasta?
Mushroom burgers
So these are fucking great. This is also very much a work in progress. I’m still working on the technique, but the flavor is fantastic if, you know, you like mushrooms. Couple notes: Ingredients 2 large onions, diced 1 teaspoon baking soda 2 pounds mushrooms, diced 1 cup parmesan cheese, shredded 1 cup breadcrumbs (more… Continue reading Mushroom burgers
