All in Dinner
These creamy egg noodles and meatballs are made with flavor-packed homemade meatballs smothered in savory, saucy goodness and served over egg noodles. So yummy!
This shrimp scampi is made with tender pan-seared shrimp in an incredibly delicious, yet insanely simple, garlicky bath of butter, olive oil, and splashes of white wine and lemon juice. What more could you ask for?
I don’t always make bò kho (Vietnamese braised beef stew) but it is always worth the time and effort when I do. Kho is the Vietnamese word for braise because you’re essentially braising the meat in this stew. The longer you cook it, the softer the meat becomes so you end up with mouthwatering, fall apart chunks of beef and tender carrots, loaded with fresh herbs (I like lots of cilantro and Thai basil, but feel free to leave either of them out if it’s not your thing) and aromatics all in a delicious broth. Every family has their own recipe for this dish. It’s incredibly satisfying and hard to mess up - if you can make stew, you can make bò kho. Traditionally, bò kho is served with warm baguette, but it transforms beautifully into a noodle soup or rice dish!
This versatile lemon chicken orzo soup is a one pot wonder loaded with lemony deliciousness. It's just about as comforting as it gets.
I had some udon, chicken, and baby bok choy in the fridge and was inspired to make this quick stir fry. Honestly, it was a great idea. The result - this super simple, super comforting, and deliciously saucy udon with chicken and baby bok choy.
If you have some noodles lying around, you’re going to want to try this one. The acidic, spicy tang of kimchi is the star of this soup and is perfectly rounded out by earthy mushroom and rich chicken broth.
Once you start making these, I promise you’ll become addicted! Store bought tortillas crisp up perfectly when cooked and don’t taste like tortillas, but rather like the perfect thin crust pizza dough. These single serving tortilla pizzas have a salad on top of them with roasted mushrooms, arugula, and parmesan, finished with a spritz of lemon juice.
Cozy up to this slow cooked bacon, beef, and veggie stew any day of the week. It’s full of rich, bacon flavor and nutritious veggies. My favorite part is how tender the beef is. You can eat it all by itself, or serve it with some bread for dipping.
Another day, another noodle soup. Bún riêu cua (Vietnamese crab noodle soup) is one of my favorite childhood soups. If you’ve never had it, it’s a tangy tomato and freshwater crab based bowl of blissful soup with “riêu”, or meatballs, made of crab and usually ground pork.
This mouthwatering cheesy baked chicken and potato dish uses a few simple ingredients, but really delivers on flavor.
Here's what you need to make this bacon chicken alfredo: bacon, chicken breasts, linguine, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, mushroom seasoning, and parmesan cheese.
Peanut butter noodles have turned into a frequent request in our house ever since I made my version. This is Chris’s take on the nutty dish. Let us know what you guys think!
