I’m Aihoa! I created Food with Aihoa to share my food experiments and favorite recipes.
Fresh seafood is the best and this easy basic seafood seasoning gives everything an extra kick! This seasoning mix leans on savory celery salt and an aromatic blend of garlic, ginger, paprika, and turmeric to start. It's great on any seafood - try it on fresh fish like salmon and halibut, or shellfish, like scallops and crab.
Have yourself a lovely Sunday (or any day!) brunch with Chris’ Cinnamon French Toast. These french toasts are made with thick sliced bread, eggs, sugar, milk, and cinnamon. They’re sweet, filling, easy to make and really yummy!
If there's one thing that Chris can't get enough of, it's beef jerky, so we got ourselves a smoker and have been trying out our hand at making jerky. After a few batches, we've finally figured it out so we're sharing our recipe here with all of you! This beef jerky is deliciously seasoned, savory, and absolutely well worth the wait. The perk is they're less expensive than store bought jerky (and taste better too!).
For these pesto caprese bagels, we went with toasted bagel thins topped with pesto spread and home-grown basil tucked between fresh mozzarella and cherry tomatoes.
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 caprese arugula salad is everything we love about classic caprese salads - rich mozzarella, juicy tomatoes, and fragrant basil - plus nutty arugula to spice things up.
These buttery egg and Parmesan noodles are great if you're in a pinch and want something quick, hearty, and tasty. It's made with pantry staples and comes together in under 10 minutes.
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.
