I like to make this when I need some seriously healthy nutrients in my body! This has so much good stuff it is bound to cure you! I usually don’t add the chicken but happened to have these boneless skinless thighs in my freezer that I needed to use. I first browned them in olive oil and then added all…

Drunken Noodles with Shrimp
I bought this in Chinatown wanting to make Drunken Noodles at home but kept procrastinating. I finally put the bag on the counter and had it stare at me for a few days until I finally gave in and just went for it. I didn’t have the perfect ingredients but I had some coconut curry sauce that I made for…
Scrambled Eggs, Shallots, Rosemary Ham and Spinach

Coffee, Cinnamon and Pecan Muffins with Rich Espresso Icing
Yesterday I needed to decalcify my espresso machine’s steam wand so I was delving into the manual online to see how much vinegar to use. I came across this recipe which looked very interesting. Obviously heavy on using espresso. I have made Tiramisu but never baked with espresso or used it in frosting. I was intrigued by the use of…
