 Leek - Lemon - Risotto. Sometimes you feel like mixing your seasons up. This is a very Spring-like risotto. I can imagine how great this will be with fresh English peas from the garden next year.

Another trick for Continue reading Recipe: Shrimp Pad Thai Mushrooms - Rice Noodles - Sriracha Sauce - Steak. Everyone needs a quick pick-me-up meal for a weeknight. This is definitely one of those. The ginger, garlic, and Sriracha sauce brighten up this dish. The steak and shiitake mushrooms are a wonderful combination. I bought twice as much meat as needed. The remaining beef is sitting in my freezer, pre-sliced and waiting for Continue reading Recipe: Stir-Fried Rice Noodles with Beef and Spinach Chicken - Garam Masala - Indian - Naan - Raita. Don’t buy a packet version of this dish. YOU can make it. I promise you! The only thing missing in this recipe is the naan bread. Though naan is very difficult to make authentically in your home kitchen, there are several great recipe sources for do-it-yourself versions.
