All in Dinner
There’s nothing that quite screams fall like a hearty beef stew. This beef stew is chock full of tender chunks of juicy beef, carrots, onion, garlic, tomato, and a few good glugs of red wine. Pair it with some buttered egg noodles and you’ve got yourself a cozy, satisfying, belly-warming meal.
This kimchi bacon udon stir fry is so easy to make and so satisfying! In this dish, kimchi shines as a component of the dish, rather than as a condiment. The dish is full of heat and balanced with tangy kimchi and subtle sweetness from raw honey. For all you spice lovers out there, this dish is hands down a must-try! And the fact that kimchi is full of probiotics and is good for you makes this stir fry a tasty no-brainer for your next meal!
This egg drop tomato soup is a novice-friendly treat that relies heavily on fridge and pantry staples. It's one of my go-to's on days when I'm in the mood for soup but don't have hours to simmer broth because it's super-speedy and insanely good. I like mine spicy so I add chili oil and lots of sambal at the end, but this soup is completely versatile so don't be afraid to experiment! Also, be sure to use good quality, ripened tomatoes to get the best flavor! We use our very own homegrown campari tomatoes.
There’s nothing quite like a nice hot bowl of wholesome chicken noodle soup. This chicken noodle soup has toothsome noodles, tender poached chicken, nutritious bok choy, fresh chopped scallions, and an aromatic broth that you can’t stop slurping. The soy sauce-based broth contains ginger, which is particularly good for colds. Poaching in broth also happens to be a great way to cook chicken and as far as this recipe is concerned, is guaranteed to give you moist, tender, chicken every time.
These saucy stir fried chicken and noodles are made with quick-cooking wide rice noodles in a sweet, savory, and spicy sauce. Feel free to add any veggies you might have on hand - they’ll soak up all the yummy sauce and become really addictive!
One of my favorite foods is smoked salmon, whether it's hot smoked or cold, and lucky for me, one of Chris's specialties is just that! You don't need a smoker to make this delicious, flaky, smoked salmon. All you need is a grill and a cedar plank!
This mint and basil chicken stir fry smells so good and is so easy to make that it's sure to be a delight at your dinner table. It's made with classic Vietnamese ingredients: savory fish sauce, fresh mint, and fragrant basil.
General Tso's Chicken is a popular Chinese takeout food choice that's made with fried chicken coated in a sweet and slightly spicy sauce. This classic crowd-pleaser was Chris's go-to dish for the longest time whenever we got Chinese takeout, so naturally, we had to try making it at home. Here's my version of the classic entree. It's not as hard as you'd think and it's so, so good!
We had some ricotta and spinach that we didn't want to go bad and so we made this pasta-tively zesty lemon ricotta and spinach linguine! It's easy, fresh, delicious and features a no-cook sauce. Definitely the perfect light, yet flavorful meal for a busy weeknight!
Yes, you read that right - Chris's Portable Grill Spicy BBQ Pork Chops. We got ourselves this nice little portable grill for those times when we're craving grilled foods but aren't at home. For dinner the other night, we were away from home and marinated these juicy pork chops with some things we found in the pantry and they came out perfectly grilled and absolutely tangy and delicious.
If you’re looking for a delicious and hearty noodle dish, this is it. This easy chicken vermicelli recipe is made with shredded cooked chicken, vermicelli noodles, carrots, and cabbage, all tossed in a flavorful sauce.
