BANANA BREAD

Why has it taken me this long to write a banana bread post? I really don’t know, especially since I am constantly baking loaves each month. Here’s my ever-evolving recipe! Although I’ve got it down to a science now…

LAZY LOCO MOCO WITH MISO GRAVY

One of my favourite Hawaiian dishes is loco moco. A hamburger patty, gravy, sunny side up egg and two scoops of white rice. Can it get anymore comforting than that? I made a shortcut version of it featuring miso gravy which I actually really enjoyed. Don’t knock it till you try it!

SOUTHERN PEACH COBBLER

What to do with a jar of canned peaches? Yeah, my ex gave me a jar of peaches (really puzzled as to why) and I had no idea what to do with it. First of all, I only took with fresh ingredients so I was trying to think of something that I could make with it without me giving it away or growing it in the trash. After much research, I decided to go with a southern-style peach cobbler which, as you’ll discover, is much different than the version you were originally thinking of.

Salty, spicy, carb-y - it’s everything you want in a meal. And luckily, this recipe can be made in a quick pinch!

KOREAN GOCHUJANG CHILI

Ever get stuck with a big leftover tub of gochujang for that one time you used it to make soondooboo or jjigae or something? Yeah, that happens to me often so I was experimenting on adding gochujang to an American chili and…it worked! I absolutely loved the smoky-sweetness that the gochujang gave the chili - works really well with a couple extra dashes of liquid smoke! Probably my new favourite - cannot wait to make this again!

BRAZILIAN STROGANOFF

Sorry guys, but Brazilian stroganoff is far superior than the stroganoff you might be used to. It’s far from the Americanized version and features a thick tomato-cream gravy and topped with shoestring potatoes or fries. Yeah, I’m not kidding. It’s some seriously delicious stuff. Can’t wait to try the real thing in Brazil one day!
