This Month’s Theme: August Appetizers!
#106: Deviled Eggs
When I was trying to think of appetizers that weren’t fried for this month’s set, one of the first ones I thought of was deviled eggs. The first time I had tried deviled eggs, I didn’t really like them, but thankfully I tried making them again using my own recipe and I realized just hate… Read More
#156: Calamari
Calamari is one of my favorite things to eat when I get fried seafood. The crunchy exterior with a chewy, but tender center in a ring shape is just the best when made properly. But often when I order this appetizer at a restaurant, it’s usually lacking in some department. So, I typically pass over… Read More
#158: Japanese Ginger Carrot Salad & Miso Soup
When I was thinking about appetizers I wanted to make for this last recipe this go around, I wanted to try to make something that was a bit more of an appetizer for a meal rather than it being an hors d’oeuvre to snack on like our previous recipes this month. And so, after ordering… Read More
#157: California Roll
I’ve been meaning to make a sushi recipe for a while now, especially after we made the onigiri recipe a few years ago, and I thought that the California Roll would be the perfect one to start with! The California Roll interestingly has a complicated origin story, with the roll’s invention being disputed, either being… Read More
#104: Spinach Artichoke Dip
As a child, I thought that Spinach Artichoke dip was a really fancy appetizer, mainly because I didn’t really know what an artichoke was and thought it was a luxury ingredient. But in fact, spinach artichoke dip is one of the most popular appetizers throughout all of the US, with many restaurants featuring a dip… Read More
#103: Bruschetta
Last year, we made a lot of fried appetizers, which, although they are very tasty, they aren’t the greatest in terms of their nutritional value. So, I thought we could spend some of this month highlighting some of my favorite appetizers for when I want a lighter option. So, for our first recipe for this… Read More

#117: Thai Roasted Chicken And Sticky Rice (ข้าวเหนียวไก่อบ)
I’ve been wanting to do this recipe since the beginning of doing this cooking show, but I, for whatever reason, waited until now to make it. Thai Roasted Chicken and Sticky Rice, or ข้าวเหนียวไก่อบ, is one of my favorite dishes from my childhood, and it’s something that I would get every time I went to… Read More
#112: Monster Apple Slices
For our first Spooky recipe for this year, I thought it would be fun to start with another simple and easy-to-make treat that you can make with your kids during this halloween season. Because of knives being sharp, I would probably have the adults or older kids do the first step of cutting the apples,… Read More
#11: Vegemitey Cthulhu
So with this recipe, I chose to do this one because of its monstrous origins. Cthulhu, of course, is a Great Old One described by Lovecraft as “A monster of vaguely anthropoid outline, but with an octopus-like head whose face was a mass of feelers, a scaly, rubbery-looking body, prodigious claws on hind and fore… Read More
#118: New England Clam Chowder
I’ve always been a fan of New England Clam Chowder ever since I was young. In fact, one of my earliest memories is of when my family and I went to a pier off the coast of California and ate some clam chowder in a bread bowl. I remember it being super cold that morning,… Read More
#94: Tequila Sunrise
I usually don’t really like the taste of tequila, but I do like Tequila Sunrises, though that’s probably because the sugar in the orange juice masks the taste of the alcohol. Interestingly though, the original tequila sunrise didn’t actually include orange juice, but instead consisted of tequila, crème de cassis (a black currant liqueur), lime… Read More
#119: Lobster Butternut Squash Ravioli
I was trying to think of a really special recipe to end this year’s round of Nostalgic November dishes with, and after thinking back on the dishes I’ve enjoyed in the past, this ravioli dish came back to memory after reaching back to my childhood. Specifically, this ravioli dish came from the same restaurant I… Read More
