Although we had Monday off for the holiday, this week has already been insanely busy. This Korean beef is the perfect, simple (and of course, delicious) meal to prepare during a hectic week!

I spent last weekend at home with my mom, grandma and boyfriend–we relaxed, watched movies, and ate gobs of food. While at home, my mom and I made this delicious, spicy soba noodle salad. The recipe made enough for a week of leftovers, but I wasn’t complaining about that!
product review – Appetites. [tamarind glazed beef w. sesame broccoli & snow peas]

Grocery shopping and cooking just got so much easier with the iPhone and iPad app, Appetites. The company’s publicist asked if I wanted to try the service (free of charge), and I gladly accepted.
Appetites provides tons of delicious recipes on the app. Once you select a recipe and enter your billing information, you select a delivery time and all the ingredients arrive at your door that same day! Pretty convenient, huh? What’s even better is that once you’re ready to cook, the app has step-by-step video instructions for the recipe–it couldn’t get much easier. This tamarind beef I chose to make was full of flavor and delicious paired with the nutty broccoli and snow peas!
here we go again. [shredded chicken enchiladas w. bell peppers in red chile sauce]
Posted in Mexican, Poultry, Vegetables, tagged Adobo chile, Enchiladas on August 14, 2014| 6 Comments »
I apologize to anyone who doesn’t love Mexican food as much as I do, because I can’t stop cooking it lately! When I’m at the grocery store, I always find myself buying cilantro, jalapeños, tortillas, etc., and naturally, my mind goes to Mexican food.
Anyways, these enchiladas were delicious! I typically prefer a tomatillo sauce, but this red sauce was fantastic and I know I’ll be making it again soon.
sweet & spicy. [homemade peach salsa w. a kick]

I can’t believe I haven’t made anything with peaches yet! I wanted to make a roasted peach dessert, but decided to make this salsa instead. I’m sure that doesn’t come as much of a surprise, considering I’m on a Mexican food-making kick lately. I’m glad I changed my mind, though, as the salsa was incredible! I loved the sweetness of the peaches paired with the spiciness of the Serrano peppers. Serve the salsa with tortilla chips or on top of grilled chicken breasts.
all hail the king. [grilled fish tacos w. avocado relish, smoky tomato-Greek yogurt crema & red cabbage-citrus slaw]

I’ve always been a huge fan of Bobby Flay, but after finding this recipe, I’m his number one fan. These tacos are some of the best I’ve ever tasted; they have an incredible complexity of flavors and textures, from the flaky, cinnamon-chile rubbed halibut to the crisp citrus slaw. I’m getting giddy just thinking about eating the leftovers for lunch today!
semi-guilt-free. [zucchini spaghetti w. jalapeño-cilantro pesto]
Posted in Pasta, Vegetables, Vegetarian, tagged Pesto, Zoodles, Zucchini, Zucchini noodles, Zucchini spaghetti on July 30, 2014| 5 Comments »
Zucchini noodles aka zoodles are so in right now–or so it seems. After seeing multiple recipes online using zucchini noodles, I had to get my hands on a spiralizer. I have a feeling I’ll be using the tool often. This “pasta” was incredibly flavorful and semi-guilt-free (I couldn’t help but add cheese)!
the lighter side. [potato salad w. blue cheese, crispy bacon & grated hard-boiled egg]
Posted in Entertaining, Pork, Side Dishes, Vegetables, tagged Bacon, Blue cheese, Egg, Potato salad on July 28, 2014| 8 Comments »
I’ve never used ‘potato salad’ and ‘light’ in the same sentence, until this recipe. The vinaigrette-soaked potatoes burst with flavor and the crispy bacon and grated egg compliment the salad wonderfully. I still love mayonnaise-based potato salads, but this recipe is a delicious and healthier alternative!
green goddess. [tacos w. shredded chicken in a spicy poblano cream sauce topped w. caramelized onions & sour cream]
Posted in Mexican, Poultry, Tacos, Vegetables, tagged Cilantro, Cream cheese, Jalapeño, Lime, Poblano, Poblano cream sauce on July 22, 2014| 10 Comments »
I’ve come to the realization that just about anything is delicious in a tortilla. This shredded chicken in a spicy poblano cream sauce is incredibly flavorful on its own, but made even better when spread on a grilled tortilla and topped with sweet, caramelized onions. These tacos are a new favorite!
grilling season. [spicy grilled corn salad w. avocado & cotija]
Posted in Grilling, Hors d'œuvres, Side Dishes, Vegetables, tagged Avocado, Cotija cheese, Grilled corn on July 17, 2014| 7 Comments »
I love summertime, primarily because it’s grilling season. I’ve always been a fan of grilled food with that delicious char flavor. This spicy corn salad has the grilled taste and bursts with flavor, from the spice of the hot sauce to the sweetness of the sugar and honey. The dish pairs wonderfully with grilled chicken, and even better with this honey-lime chicken burrito!
