KALE CAESAR

Need to mix up the traditional Caesar salad? Since kale is literally in everything nowadays, what about a kale caesar? The dressing was surprisingly easy to make - just make sure to massage that kale in before tossing together!

ARROZ CALDO

I was going to make congee but I’ve done that so many times before. I thought why not make arroz caldo, a Filipino rice porridge filled with delicious aromatics like ginger, garlic and onions. It’s the best thing on a cold, rainy day and the only thing I want to eat when I’m sick. It certainly helps that this recipe is easy as pie.

PANCIT BIHON

It’s a Filipino classic: pancit bihon. Chewy bean thread noodles cooked up with tender cabbage, carrots, mushrooms and a ton of aromatics makes this dish an easy crowd pleaser.

LINGUINE WITH WHITE WINE CREAM MUSHROOM SAUCE

My take on a classic recipe: linguine with white wine cream mushroom sauce. Serve with a piece of crusty garlic bread and a crisp glass of chardonnay.

ZARUSOBA

Dip it! I love myself some tsukumen (dipping ramen) but when I’m feeling something lighter, I always opt for zarusoba. Chewy buckwheat soba noodles dipped in metsuyu. It’s a chilled summer noodle dish that I can’t get enough of.

ASH-E RESHTEH

Persian ash-e reshteh: a thick AF stew filled with tons of herbs, legumes and noodles. It’s the most aromatic dish you’ll make in your kitchen and a great way to use up those herbs!

GINGER SCALLION SOBA NOODLES

Is there anything simpler than ginger scallion soba noodles? Seriously.

QUINOA, CARROT, RADISH AND PARSLEY SALAD

Haven’t looked with quinoa for a while. Quinoa is an ancient grain and a great source of protein. I made an easy quinoa, carrot, radish and parsley salad - super versatile and can either be a simple side dish or a stand out on its own.

SOPAS DE TORTILLAS

When it’s the apocalypse outside and you’re running out of food? Raid the canned vegetable aisle. I hope you’ll have better luck since I was only able to grab a couple odd cans of beans and tomatoes. No fret if they stray off the beaten path a little - it’s the spices that really make this dish. Sopas de tortillas is a breeze to make can be whipped up in 30 minutes or less. Get on it!
