This recipe is inspired by one in one of my favorite new cookbooks: Everyday Food: Fresh Flavor Fast: 250 Easy, Delicious Recipes for Any Time of Day (Everyday Food (Clarkson Potter)).
I modified it a little bit for what was feasible tonight - we're improbably out of propane, so I just ...

This was a quick and easy use of some leftovers from last night's roasted chicken. It's full of protein, and if my skillet wasn't so full, I would have thrown in some more veggies too. We're trying to cut down on the processed carbs and foods this month ...

This is a tasty way to roast a chicken. You can customize the spice rub to whatever makes you happy that day. Today I did salt, pepper, thyme, cayenne, and garlic. Neither Shaun nor I are much fans of the flavor of beer to drink, but the ...

This is a take on my bruschetta chicken. I did not have any zucchini on hand, but I was inspired to add some olives. It turned out exceptionally well, and we'll definitely be making this again! I served this with a simple romaine lettuce salad and ...

We had hom bao for dinner tonight. The pork was a little fattier than usual, I think, and it made them especially tasty. I made the dipping sauce with microplane grated ginger, which worked very nicely.

These garlicky potatoes were an easy and flavorful side. I pan seared a large rib eye steak and finished it off roasting in the oven along side some brussels sprouts before carving it up. The potatoes I baked yesterday as I'd originally been planning this meal for then, ...

This is a spicy Mexican inspired pork that I whipped up after Shaun requested something spicy to help clear his sinuses. The rub turned out quite well and I'll definitely use it again. It does have a kick to it, so reduce the cayenne if you'd like it ...

This is a Korean dish that is very versatile. The name literally means "mixed rice." I make mine with galbi marinated thinly sliced beef; stir fried zucchini, carrots, and cabbage; and a fried egg. Kimchi is more traditional, but I'm not much of a fan, so the ...

A very easy quick soup as long as you have access to a couple ingredients that you may or may not be able to find in your local grocery store. I get these either at H Mart or Central Market, though I do regularly see wakame in the Asian ...
