All in Quick & Easy
Fish soup was one of my favorites growing up. It's light and fragrant with the perfect balance of sweet, sour, salty, and umami flavors. My mom would make so much that there would be enough for us for about half the week. Don’t worry, this is a scaled down recipe for 2, but you can always make more!
Part of the fun of writing this blog is that my boyfriend enjoys cooking and is all for being featured on this blog! This is Chris's last minute sweet chili tilapia. The primary flavor as you would guess is sweet chili. The addition of the cayenne pepper and paprika give this recipe a nice kick, which we really liked.
Orzo is good in soups but is also great for serving instead of rice or as a side dish. This lemon orzo with Parmesan and peas recipe is the perfect combination of lemony Parmesan goodness and can be paired with your favorite meat or veggie to create a meal or served all on its own.
This savory egg sandwich is my adaptation of egg sandwiches my mom made when I was growing up. It's simple, yummy, and quick to make. It's more or less a savory omelette in sandwich form and is one of my go-to breakfasts whenever I am in a time crunch in the morning. You can use any bread/toast you prefer. I typically make this with regular toast or an English muffin.
If you’re looking for a well spiced meal that’s easy to make, you’ve found it. Egg noodles with coconut curry chicken is one of my boyfriend's favorite dishes. It’s a rich and flavorful combination of egg noodles and mildly spicy coconut curry chicken and requires minimal effort to put together.
This baked pesto caprese chicken recipe is an easy and healthy meal and is such a fun twist on the classic caprese salad! The combination of tomato, basil, and pesto is tried and true in salad form, and as we've found, it translates well when used with chicken as a main dish!
Strawberries? Avocados? Yes, please! This unlikely duo makes for a simple breakfast or afternoon treat.
If you like seasoning your Asian dishes with the typical Vietnamese condiment called nuoc mam, but find it too strong for your taste or simply if you're a vegetarian, this dipping sauce is for you.
Tender beef, soft tofu, some scallions, and just the right amount of sauce over a bed of white or brown rice is a quick, and totally satisfying meal for any day of the week!
Peanut butter chicken noodles is one of my favorite noodle dishes. It’s quick, tasty, and full of peanut buttery goodness; perfect for those busy weekday nights! Toss in some chicken, noodles, cabbage, carrots, and you’re good to go.
