Every now and then the craving for proper fish and chips hits me. And then there’s nothing I can think of except for crispy fish and chunky chips. Not fries. Chips. Thick, chunky, golden and crispy chips. The beer batter on the fish ensures the fish stays impossibly moist and flaky and fries into a shatteringly crisp coating. This is the kind of meal dreams of made of. How to make fish and chips What fish to use Any firm, white fish will work well when frying fish....

Updated July 05, 2019 I am feeling HOT, HOT, HOT…and that is because it is 100+ degrees outside. We’ve been spending as much time as possible in our cool basement, but our boys still beg to go outside. They don’t seem to mind the heat. They still want to play at the park, go on walks, and hit the pool. I can only take them bouncing off the basement walls for so long, so eventually I give in and we go outside....

What is drunken chicken If you’ve never tried drunken chicken, consider it a Chinese-style charcuterie cold cut. To make the dish, the chicken is steamed with plenty of aromatics and then marinated in a Shaoxing wine based broth, which gives it an incredible fragrance and depth of flavor. And speaking of texture, it’s very different from what you’re used to. It’s served cold, so the chicken is juicy yet has a lightly gelatinous feel to it....

Updated March 26, 2019 Is anyone else confused by the current situation of summer and back to school?

Caleb is starting kindergarten and Maxwell is starting preschool. I know, how did that happen?...

Fried rice is the kind of meal I turn to when I need to get dinner ready quickly. I love this rotisserie chicken version because so much of the work is done for me. Even better when I have some cooked rice ready to go. In fact, lately I like to cook double the amount of rice I need and then store the rest in the fridge or freezer for fried rice emergencies....

I’m seeing a trend here. It was one of those Saturdays where I wake up at 9am with false hopes of being ridiculously and unrealistically productive in the morning. Productivity and weekend mornings don’t belong in the same sentence. Or paragraph. I wake up thinking I’m going to work out, do a load or three of laundry, write two blog posts, make a lentil loaf and ya know…save the world....

My love affair with ginger is no secret. There is a very special place in my heart for this warm, spicy, anti-inflammatory root. I love it in the morning and in the afternoon. I love it in the evening and underneath the moon!! My grandma used to sing me that song when I was a wee chickpea and now I sing it to ginger. I kid. But really, guys…when the question is ginger (or chocolate, or hummus, or avocado, or hot sauce, or peanut butter) the answer is nearly always a resounding “YES!...

Published on September 21, 2012 Football season is in full swing and that makes our home a happy home. We love watching football. Of course, you can’t watch football without good food to munch on.

Did you know, that besides having peanut butter as a sweet treat, you can use it to create a savory Chinese dish too? Sometimes I am so surprised at how versatile an ingredient could become, when used in a different context. This green bean salad with spicy peanut sauce is one of the best examples. With a splash of soy sauce, rice vinegar and chili oil, the peanut butter turns to an appetizing nutty sweet-sour-spicy sauce, with a fragrance of toasted sesame....
