I’m Aihoa! I created Food with Aihoa to share my food experiments and favorite recipes.
If you know me, you know that I'm a sucker for cilantro and lime. The classic duo is aromatic and bursting with fresh summery flavors - I just can't get enough of it. The tangy cilantro, olive oil, and lime marinade in this cilantro lime chicken recipe delivers BIG flavor to regular chicken breasts and makes for a perfectly healthy and light meal!
If there's one dish that Chris and I love to make together, it's this Udon and Steak Noodle Bowl. The inspiration for this dish came when Chris described a dish that he had when he was younger. Based on what he could remember about the ingredients and flavors, we set out to re-create the dish. This meal hits all the bold flavors you could crave in a weeknight meal and has since become a part of our meal rotation. A bed of udon noodles drizzled in sweet and tangy sauce cradles fresh arugula and crisp bean sprouts, while tender, perfectly seasoned, juicy steak tops it off.
There's nothing that quite hits the spot in the mornings like an omelette. This ham, cheese, and arugula omelette is full of protein from the eggs and ham and is so quick and easy, so you don’t have to wait a long time for your breakfast! Since omelettes are so versatile, you could use any veggie you'd like and even swap out the meat with tofu.
This isn't your ordinary mac and cheese. It's still the unapologetically cheesy, carby deliciousness that you know and love, but combined with the hearty spiciness of chili. If you like chili, and you like mac and cheese, you'll go crazy for this chili mac and cheese.
These crazy good spicy dry rub grilled drumsticks will set your mouth on fire. Densely packed with flavor, heat, and spice, these drumsticks will make some of the spiciest foods around seem mild in comparison. No sauce is needed to make these drumsticks. Brown sugar complements the epic amounts of cayenne pepper used for these juicy drumsticks to create the perfect blend of spicy and sweet. If you love spicy foods, consider yourself warned, but you've got to try these super spicy, finger-lickin' good drumsticks!
This lemon, asparagus, and chicken pasta is perfect for a busy weeknight meal. Made with tender asparagus and juicy chicken, it's a quick and easy dish that is bursting with bright and fresh spring flavors.
This 3-ingredient salsa chicken is made with simple ingredients and could not be any easier to put together. Your favorite salsa and a splash of orange juice are all it takes to make this sweet and tangy recipe!
Did you know that you can cook a potato in the microwave? My boyfriend showed me this and it blew my mind. This "recipe" errs on the side of "life hack" rather than an actual recipe. If you're in the mood for a baked potato, you could spend 15 minutes preheating the oven, and another hour baking it. But if you don't have the time to bake the potato in the oven, you can quickly throw it in the microwave and get the same slow baked results!
In this peanut butter tofu recipe, crispy baked tofu is tossed in a delightfully rich and flavorful peanut sauce to make a delicious protein-packed vegetarian dish.
This lemon soy grilled chicken is a mouthwatering combination of tender chicken and savory, sweet and tangy marinade. In this recipe, the chicken is marinated in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, balsamic vinaigrette, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper and grilled to perfection.
This recipe is the result of my boyfriend taking one of my recipes and making it even better. Like the original recipe, this recipe is quick and easy and comes together in just under 30 minutes. This recipe uses Pad Thai noodles, eggs, and chicken as its primary ingredients, and is flavored with the original tangy Pad Thai sauce and creamy peanut buttery goodness. The noodles soak up the sauce so well in this recipe that you won't be able to not ask for seconds!
This pork roast is made with simple ingredients, is perfectly seasoned, and melts in your mouth from being slow cooked all day. The savory gravy on top makes this recipe amazing!
