Indonesian Sour Fish From Sulawesi

May 14, 2013

I like my fish prepared pretty much one of three ways: dusted in a starch and fried or sautéed, in sushi, or smothered in a complex, vibrant sauce, stew or curry. In other words, I live in the midwest and never really learned to appreciate the taste of plain fish. In all seriousness, when would [...]

Weeknight Ground Beef Stroganoff with Rosemary, Yogurt and Mushrooms

May 11, 2013

I have a real fondness for fusion-esque twists on midwestern comfort food. Maybe it is my way of satisfying both my midwestern, traditional upbringing and my completely international adult palette. Or maybe I just like the unexpectedness of it. Truth be told, this particular dish is not shockingly unexpected to me given that I grew [...]

#BundtaMonth: Lemon Mint Rhubarb Breakfast Bundt Cake with Blueberries

May 8, 2013

Every May I feel unprepared for the insane spring fever. My husband, as a matter of fact, does not believe spring fever is real. I told him he needed to volunteer some in the school right now. I’ve had to pull out my Mom Voice more than once reading to Alex’s class in the library. [...]

#ChocolateParty: White Chocolate Mousse with Strawberries and Strawberry Balsamic Vinegar

May 6, 2013

I should have known better than to sing the praises of the gorgeous spring weather we’ve been having! Today was cold and rainy. Absolutely miserable. But not snow at least, with apologies to my friends west of me. With rain at least I can tell myself that April early May showers bring May flowers and [...]

Garam Masala Caramel Corn for The Leftovers Club

May 2, 2013

Spring is in the air! It was 85 F today, not a cloud in sight. Close to that yesterday. We’ve been down in the creek, to the park, strolling uptown (just another 2 weeks until the students go home-woo hoo! with apologies to any college kids reading this, but our little town is so peaceful [...]

Thai Spring Roll Omelette made using OXO Egg Tools

April 30, 2013

I LOVE being a blogger with the OXO Blogger Outreach Program. I genuinely love OXO tools, making it both easy and rewarding to get to check out their newest and coolest kitchen gadgets and then share them with you. I am running a tad behind right now, because OXO has moved on from eggs and [...]

Cinqo de Mayo Mexican Recipes Round Up

April 27, 2013

Sopa Tarasca (Tarascan Soup) with garnishes I don’t normally post round ups of previous recipes, but noticing all of the Cinqo de Mayo recipes popping up everywhere around the web, it just seemed so silly that once again I had not gotten my act together in time. Especially when my site specializes in international recipes [...]

Lap Nuea Kai Nguang – but You Might Know It As Larb Gai

April 25, 2013

Guys! I have been holding out on you. I have made this dish, a family favorite, a billion times–but it is so easy and so fast that is often gets made on nights when I don’t have the time or inclination to take pictures. I have always loved ordering larb gai (sometimes spelled lap kai, [...]

Double Chocolate Chip Cookies made with PB2

April 22, 2013

As most of you know, we live a little bit in the boonies. Not completely, since getting to Cincinnati only takes about an hour–and the northern suburbs, which are pretty well stocked–only take about 30 minutes. But at the same time, we are on 5 acres at the back of a private lane off of [...]
