This is a weeknight staple in my house. Skip the gochujang at first if there are those among you who don't like spice — my kids will eat just the soy sauce/brown sugar mixture no problem. Cook the beef first with just that, take out their portions, then cook the rest of it with the gochujang for those of you who like some more flavor.

You've seen this recipe a million times, and this one isn't much different — I just like it a tiny bit less sweet, so here are my ratios. This is the easiest fanciness-to-effort recipe you can possibly make. Make it and impress a loved one (or someone you want to love you). I love you.

This is my new summer salad, and it's a great mix of flavors. I literally just opened up the Flavor Bible (check it out, great book) and combined a bunch of stuff that goes with corn and made a salad out of it. Now I'm posting it on the internet. Enjoy.

This is a really good way to spice up (though its not actually spicy) mashed potatoes. There’s not really much else to it, it tastes like it sounds.

This is one of my go to weekday dinners. It’s insanely easy to throw together at the last minute, the hardest part being cooking your protein (which I guess you technically don’t even have to do). Even my kids eat it (though they complain about the Thai Basil).

Ok sorry this salad is a real pain in the ass to make. It’s really good though, and it keeps really well, which is good because each individual ingredient takes like 15-20 minutes. You can really do any of the above things in whatever order, so figure out what makes sense to you. You know you want to spend all afternoon in the kitchen making a single salad.

Biscuits and Gravy is probably my favorite breakfast of all time, and while my biscuit recipe is shamelessly stolen from elsewhere, the gravy is my doing, so I can share it here. Before making this I really didn’t know how easy gravy was to make, you can pretty much wing it with the above ingredients (or add your own, and post it on your own page, look at you, you’re the gravy maker now) and it’ll come out great. Just make sure it’s thick.

I'm not really a visionary for combining green vegetables and grains, but i need my own recipe like this so here it is. It’s healthy, it’s pretty filling, and it goes with most any protein. You can cut the panko if you want, but that slight crunch adds a lot, so i think you should keep the panko.

Friend of ours gave us quail eggs, straight from the farm they were at, and i’d never cooked with them before, so i decided to make the most basic bitch breakfast of avocado toast. I then decided to add salmon lox and not even call this avocado toast in some subconscious way of saving face. Then here I am explanining it. This is really good though. Really easy. Makes you look fancy for not much effort, which is my wheelhouse lately.

I’ve been messing with AI stuff at work lately, and I’ve been getting asked about the fried rice I post every so often based off of leftovers, so why not combine the two? I took my basic ingredients into Chat GPT, and after not thinking the recipe sounded sassy enough, asked it to add some sass. The result was too good not to post. I did realize that I forgot to add egg to it, so if you’re reading this, at the end, shove everything to the sides of the pan, pour a couple of scrambled eggs in the middle, cook, then mix it all together (diva!). Then, enjoy like the boss that you are.

I haven’t posted a recipe in forever, and since the blog is mostly a place for me to refer to things I want to cook more than once, I had to get this one written down. It’s basically just my thai chicken recipe with a few tweaks and put on a pork tenderloin. Pretty groundbreaking stuff. It is really fucking good though.

I’ve been making the california roll bowls for a bit now, and my family loved them. Then my kids stopped liking them so i switched to spam. Now they like them again. I also decided to grill it because i think it would look more appealing with grill lines. It totally does. Maybe in a few months i’ll have a new bowl.. mac and cheese or something? I dunno, kids are fickle.

Got a fancy blender for my birthday this year so I’ve been making smoothies basically every day. I’m a health person or something now. If you want to also get in on that smoothie life, try this. I used to do this with frozen fruit, but fresh fruit really does make a difference. Bonus, fruit doesn’t really go bad in the house anymore because I’m shoving the leftover stuff into a blender in the morning. Double health person.

I’m really trying to eat more vegetables, and since people keep raving about fennel (maybe i need to listen to new people), I wanted to give it a shot. I had some brussels sprouts on hand, as one does, and decided to just slice it all up thin and roast it together. Turns out, its a really good veggie combination. Even my kids like it. Do your kids eat brussels sprouts and fennel? They might if you try. Super basic recipe. Super basic bullshit.

Yep it’s a grilled cheese sandwich. Nothing mindblowing but I really like this combination of flavors. I’ve been throwing white cheddar and chili oil on anything i can, and it always comes out good. This is heavy though, so serve it with a salad. Also, if you like videos and instagram, check out my instagram for a video of this thing.
