It probably seems like I’ve gone Asian noodle crazy. Sometimes I think food replaced school for me–where once I would have been interested in learning the history of every culture/nation out there (I was a history major and loved it), now I seem determined to conquer all of their cooking. My current interest–along with Mediterranean…
Maple Chipotle Pork Tenderloin With Green Chili Stew
This is one of those dishes where my photographs are not doing it justice. As far as I am concerned, it is restaurant worthy–but between a hungry family and my own lack of imagination, the right set up did not occur to me. Believe me when I say you should make this the next time…
Bacon, Pork & Potato Tinga Tacos
We had a very cool, very rainy day here, which was a godsend because it meant I was ok with having the oven and cooktop going all day. And because it meant I did not need to water my garden (yes it is planted) and tree. Or my rhubarb plants. Or the flower bed. You…
Lime Cilantro Chicken With Tropical Fruit Salsa
Josie is here visiting–which means lots of discussion of all things culinary but less time to type about it. The night she got here, I whipped up a tropical chicken dish that was hard to beat for ease with lots of flavor. The chicken itself was really simple–basically brown the meat and then braise it…
Tried & True Goan Style Vindaloo
I have been holding out on you. (Again. How many times have I started a post that way?) You see what happened was this. Every holiday season I host a big Indian dinner for my in-laws, our Christmas dinner for that side of the family. (I did not this past year because of moving.)…
Back In The Saddle: Daring Bakers’ Lasagne
And people wonder why I think counter space is a necessity for the Daring Bakers! This is the cooked noodles lying out to dry and waiting to be assembled–while I was still cooking more noodles. You read that title right–although depending on how well you know me it could either be the Daring Baker part…
So You Think You’ve Had Sweet And Sour?: Thai Sweet And Sour With Pork
Do you associate sweet and sour Asian dishes with heavy, almost gloppy stir fries served with breaded and fried, sometimes greasy, chicken or pork? I am not claiming I did not once enjoy that Chinese American restaurant staple, but I promise once you try the Thai version you won’t look back. The sauce should be…
Worth The Wait: An Angry Asian’s Grandmother’s Shumai Meatballs
I was paired with Angry Asian Creations for this round of Taste & Create. Her blog is casual and funny, and we definitely share a love of baked goods, but given my love of Vietnamese food, it was the chance to pick her Vietnamese grandmother’s brain via her blog that really caught my attention. I…
Pork Tenderloin with Apples and Sour Cream: Early October At Its Best!
Pork Tenderloin with Apples and Sour Cream is the best and most flavorful of hearty midwestern American cooking in the autumn. Affiliate links have been used to link to items I am discussing. [I updated these photos in December 2017.] One of my favorite things about apples is how great they taste in savory dishes,…
