All in Noodles & Soups
Toowoomba noodles! This dish brings together a rich, creamy sauce with garlic, shrimp, and bacon, all inspired by Toowoomba pasta—a Korean creation named after an Australian city. It’s savory, a little spicy, and totally satisfying. For an extra kick, I used Shin Ramyun noodles to bring some heat and bold flavor!
This comforting Vietnamese Opo Squash Soup (Canh Bầu) highlights the mild sweetness of trái bầu, or opo squash / calabash squash in English. Traditionally, it's made with shrimp for added flavor, but my mom is vegetarian, so this is our family's version. Simple, nourishing, and packed with fresh herbs, this dish as as wholesome as it is delicious. Perfect for a light meal or as a side dish to a larger Vietnamese spread.
Can’t decide between pizza and mac and cheese? This pizza mac and cheese lets you enjoy the best of both worlds! Creamy, cheesy mac and cheese meets the bold flavors of pepperoni pizza in this ultimate comfort food mashup. Plus, I added some leftover chicken tenders for an extra hearty twist. It’s perfect for cozy nights at home, family dinners, or sharing with friends. Get ready to dig into a dish that’s sure to become a new favorite!
In celebration of National Moldy Cheese Day, I whipped up a delicious Cambozola Mac and Cheese. Cambozola is one of my all-time favorite cheeses. The sharpness of the cambozola adds a unique, tasty twist to classic mac and cheese, balancing the richness of the sauce with a deep, savory flavor. Perfect for any cheese lover looking to indulge in something special!
Creamy Alfredo sauce meets Cajun-spiced salmon and zesty lemon in my Cajun Salmon Lemon Alfredo Pasta, all tossed together for the ultimate dinner mash-up. It’s bold, it’s creamy, and it’s a tasty twist on a weeknight favorite!
There’s nothing quite like a warm bowl of broccoli cheddar soup on a chilly day. This creamy, cheesy classic is packed with tender broccoli and sharp cheddar, making it the perfect comfort food to enjoy any time you need a cozy meal. Check out my slow cooker broccoli cheddar soup for a different approach that’s just as delicious!
This Lemon Chicken Noodle Soup features a bright lemony broth that pairs perfectly with tender noodles and savory chicken, making it a perfect meal for these summer days (or any other day of the year!).
Pesto pasta! Al-dente pasta tossed in garden-fresh homemade pesto. It's a simple yet delicious recipe that's perfect for a quick weeknight meal or a light summer dinner.
Broccoli, leeks, bacon, rosemary, pasta, beans and pesto come together for an unexpected burst of flavor in this cozy minestrone.
Coming in hot with a classic and delicious creamy tomato soup! Just don’t forget the grilled cheese!
Perfectly cooked noodles and fiery chili crisp infused peanut sauce come together in this mouthwatering fusion that's both satisfying and comforting. Whether you're a spice lover or just seeking a satisfying and flavorful meal, give these spicy peanut noodles a try, you can thank me later!
Who knew adding a dollop of peanut butter to your broth could be so addictive? This spicy peanut dumpling ramen is savory, nutty, and just so, so good. You have to try it!
