I’m Aihoa! I created Food with Aihoa to share my food experiments and favorite recipes.
All in Appetizers
We had a Halloween party this past weekend, and among the spread was a marinated tomato and mozzarella salad. I shaped the mozzarella into little skulls for a fun (and slightly spooky!) touch. Simple and flavorful, with a hint of Halloween spirit!
These Cheesy Meatball Puff Pastry Bites are a nod to my husband’s burger cravings - recreated in a flakier, more snack-able form and perfect for sharing!
This vibrant bean salad brings together crisp green beans, hearty red beans, and creamy garbanzo beans, tossed in a light vinaigrette. It’s a simple, refreshing dish packed with flavor and texture!
Bringing all my favorite summer flavors together in this Pesto Caprese Prosciutto Puff Pastry Tart! Fresh basil, juicy tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and savory prosciutto all baked to golden perfection on a flaky puff pastry.
This burrata with tomato confit and peaches is the PERFECT treat for summer! The flavors work so well together and it’s so easy to make. Enjoy with bread or over arugula.
If you have a recipe that calls for just the egg whites, save and cure your egg yolks - they’ll be more jammy and flavorful! Cured egg yolks are great spread on toast, on rice, and on ramen.
Now that tomato season is upon us, prepare for yummy tomato ideas! This garlic tomato confit and burrata toast is the perfect lazy day brunch or midday treat - your taste buds will thank you!
BBQ chicken nachos - crunchy tortilla chips topped with ooey gooey cheese, shredded BBQ chicken, onions, and more!
If you know me, you know my love for all things potato, with poutine being close, if not at, the very top of the list. Add phở, a staple of Vietnamese cuisine, into the mix and you’ve got the best of both worlds. This was such a fun appetizer to put together - I went through sharing several versions of this phở poutine with friends and tweaking the recipe over the course of multiple dinner parties so I’m really excited about it and hope you guys enjoy it!
This tomato cottage cheese sourdough is my latest snack obsession. It's such a simple treat. Each bite is full of tangy tomatoes, creamy cottage cheese, and the wholesome goodness of sourdough.
Keep it simple with these ham and cheese quesadillas.
Wings grilled to crispy, fall-off-the-bone perfection and tossed with iconic Old Bay seasoning.
