The vegetable burrito has had many versions in our household, some with zucchini and plenty of salsa; others with just beans and rice, but the main key is good tortillas and melted cheese on top. This particular version was inspired by a little hole in the wall Mexican food joint in Frenchtown, ...
I know you can get them uber cheap at your corner Chinese joint, we can too but after I found a squiggly little caterpillar in my soup, I started questioning what else was in my food that I wasn't finding. And dumplings would be the master of hiding old, limp veggies and I'm pretty sure they ...
When I used to work in NYC, my favorite lunch place was Chop't, granted the $10 salad wraps were a bit pricey for lunch, but they had such great salad blends. Way better than the typical chicken caesar and veggie concepts. My favorite was the Palm Beach wrap - a mix of chopped romaine, heart of ...
This is the first time that I have ever heard of this style Japanese fusion prep made with pork. It's a common sushi bar, Japanese steakhouse item made with beef tenderloin but convention was no deterent. I had a chunk of wild pig loin out and I had a bad case of indecision. Kathy had bought ...
Inarizushi is usually much simpler than this. Traditionally it only involves the fried tofu packet, abura-age, stuffed with sushi rice and sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds. In typical American palate fashion we have dressed it up a bit more. You will find our addition of a kampyo tie in ...
My family has been making green enchiladas for as long as I can remember, and since leaving home I have made various versions of the recipe, influenced by my time in San Antonio and Hunter's suggestions. This is the current version of the great enchiladas. I have no idea if this is at all ...
I don't make Asian foods very often, but this is a dish that I have at Thai restaurants all the time and absolutely love to eat, so when I saw the curry paste in the Asian market, I thought I'd give it a try. It turned out as good as I could have hoped! I used tofu, potatoes and peas for this ...
The first time I had spaghetti squash was in college when Erin's grandmother Judy came to visit Erin in her awesome San Antonio apartment, and she and Judy cooked a delicious meal for some of Erin's friends. I had never even seen a spaghetti squash before that meal, but it opened my culinary ...
This is the combination of two ingredients I discovered in the last two years, ones that are delicious in pretty much anything, in my opinion. Kale, hearty, green and healthy and white beans (aka cannellini beans), melt in your mouth good. The side benefit of this filling soup is that it is ...
My first Bun moment was in Houston, Texas and from then on, I was hooked. Interestingly enough, it seems pretty much anyone who has encountered a bun had the same feeling. It's light, refreshing but still warm and comforting with plenty of citrus and spice. How can you go wrong? It's one of our ...
