Vietnamese Caramel Chicken and Mushrooms: Review of The Slanted Door
Vietnamese Caramel Chicken and Mushrooms is unbelievably easy and oh-so delicious. I was sent a copy of The Slanted Door by Blogging for Books in exchange for an honest review, and all opinions are my own. Affiliate links have been used to link to items I am discussing. Guys!

Beef and Mushroom Pho
This Beef and Mushroom Pho is just what the doctor ordered: warming, hearty, flavorful and mild at the same time. This is a cheater pho in some ways but not in others. I just want to get that out there. And because of that I am not going to give you a formal recipe, but…
Easy Weeknight Vietnamese Pineapple, Shrimp & Tamarind Soup
Lesson I learned this past week: I could never have had a food blog while pregnant. No, no I am NOT pregnant. But how those of you keep up writing and reading about food when you are nauseated is beyond me. A malevolent and fast moving stomach virus hit my family this past week and…

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…
Vietnamese Salad (Bun) with Rice Vermicelli & Pork Tenderloin
The next week or 2 I will be posting less regularly than usual. I am headed to Columbus for a couple of days and then early next week I am having my deviated septum corrected (YEA!). I am sure many of you have noticed by now I have been sick more often than not. More…
