Keep calm and curry on with these delicious beef curry puffs! These oven baked beauties are great as appetizers or snacks. They're savory, a little bit sweet, and filled with fragrant curried beef tucked into a flaky, crisp crust.
This take on mizeria may not be perfectly true to its Polish roots, but my Polish boyfriend certainly approves! Made with crunchy, refreshing cucumbers and creamy sour cream, this cucumber salad is the perfect way to cool off and enjoy those last days of summer.
Winner winner, chicken dinner! Pan-seared chicken smothered in marinara sauce and topped with gooey melted mozzarella. Every bite of this chicken is full of flavor and is sure to become an instant weeknight dinner favorite.
This jiggly, wiggly custard of silky, sweet deliciousness was adopted by the Vietnamese during the French colonization of Vietnam in the 19th century and is a common dessert. In northern Vietnam, it is known as bánh caramel, kem caramel or caramen and in southern Vietnam, it is known as bánh flan or kem flan. The difference between Vietnamese flan and European flan is Vietnamese flan is usually smaller and steamed rather than baked. Vietnamese flan also uses coconut as an ingredient and is drizzled with black coffee when served.
You've never had salmon quite like this before. Chris has been telling me that he can make the most delicious hot smoked salmon I've ever had and boy, was he right. This hot smoked salmon is absolutely drool worthy. While Chris's recipe does require some extra time and patience, the results are well worth it because this hot smoked salmon is the most delectable, subtly smoky, melt in your mouth salmon you will ever have.
This quick and easy lemon parmesan asparagus pasta is so simple and fresh that you’ll be making it over and over again! It's the perfect amount of delicious lemony goodness (just the way Chris and I like our lemon dishes!) and can be served as a light and healthy main dish or side dish.
I love the combination of spicy red Thai curry paste and coconut milk. The curry paste and coconut milk are essential to this red curry chicken noodle bowl, so don’t skimp on them! I normally use red curry paste to make these egg noodles in chicken curry sauce (Chris's favorite) but had some left over that needed to be used up so I decided to experiment with this noodle bowl. Much to my delight, this turned out to be an excellent recipe that I'll keep handy for times when I need a quick fix of chicken and noodles, but with a kick. I used bell peppers, carrots, bean sprouts, and scallions, but feel free to use whatever veggies you have available.
Not all chicken recipes are fast. Whether you serve them with a salad, sandwich or plate of pasta, these crispy chicken cutlets coated in breadcrumbs and pan-friend to golden perfection make an almost instant dinner. They're crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Just keep in mind that unless the chicken breasts are quite small, slice them crosswise to make cutlets. A large chicken breast may be enough for 2 to 3 servings.
Tender cubes of potatoes and onion are tossed with kielbasa and baked until golden and crispy in this savory kielbasa, potato, and arugula salad. This versatile recipe works as a quick snack or an easy weeknight dinner.
Salmon doesn't get any easier than this. Seasoned with lemon juice, dill and garlic, this juicy, tender, baked lemon dill salmon is bursting with tangy, fresh flavor and is a great recipe for spring and summer.
