I'll be the first one to tell you that I don't believe in garnishes that you can't eat. We were taught this in school and it was drilled into our heads while working in restaurants that it is pointless to do this. Also, it's a waste of food! Of course, when I saw these beautiful meyer lemons, I knew that I had to pick them up; and like most things I buy, I would figure out what to do with it later. Meyer lemons are not as tart as regular lemons, and are sweeter. They work well in sweet and ... continue reading...
Cashew Chicken Salad + Ginger Peanut Dressing
I showed this quick dinner I made before a zumba class, and got so much great feedback that I had to write-up the recipe for you guys! If you're not following me on instagram yet, you should! I share lots of cooking tips and tricks, and great recipes like these that don't always make it to the blog - UNLESS YOU ASK FOR IT!! :) It's a great light dinner, which will also work as a lunch. Honestly, the salad was so satisfying on its own, you don't even need the chicken. Vegetarians take note: ... continue reading...
Red Snapper in Tomato Fennel Broth
This dish is inspired from my grandmother...which is ironic because she's not much of a cook. In fact, my mom always tells the story of how she used to come home from school and catch my grandmother throwing spaghetti on the wall to see if it was ready... Haha! She's gotten better since then!! I asked her how she cooks her fish and she told me "en caldo" basically "in broth" I changed a few things, and made it with my twist for dinner. Tomato and fennel go really well together and ... continue reading...
Blood Orange BBQ Sauce
Barbeque sauce is not difficult to make, it just requires having the ingredients on hand, and giving it a bit of time on the stove to simmer and flavors to marry. I love the addition of blood orange zest in here because it is one of my favorite fruits and it works well against the spices. The beauty of this type of condiment is that you could really dial-up or down on the amounts based on which ones you like. My family is not big on spice (except my 1-year-old seems to tolerate it!) so I ... continue reading...
20 Minute Chicken with Apricot + Pistachios
The moment I saw fresh apricots pop up at the market, I picked some up without knowing what I would even make; and then the week got busy and suddenly they were a bit too ripe to eat as is. Enter this last-minute creation! The reason why this recipe works is because it's all about texture and viscosity here. The creamy sauce drapes the seared chicken breasts, and the sweet yet tart flavor of the apricots cuts through the heaviness of the coconut milk. The pistachios and dried fruit add a ... continue reading...
