I had recently made pupusas, thanks to watching one of my favorite Bon Appetit food editors make them on their YouTube channel, but now I had a bunch of masa harina (corn flour) that I wanted to use up. Sure I could make tortillas, and thanks to my new cast iron tortilla press, it would…

Cauliflower “Mac” and Cheese
Box Macaroni and Cheese was probably one of the first things I learned how to cook. I freaking loved the stuff. And then I learned how to make it from scratch and my world was changed. Still to this day, when I see a dish of warm gooey mac and cheese, I get a little…
Sweet Potato Hash with Poached Eggs
Repeat after me: sweet potatoes aren’t just for autumn and Thanksgiving. I’ve posted a Sweet Potato Hash recipe before, which I served as a side to a roasted chicken, and this is basically a different version of that. It’s scaled back and this is the version I do for breakfast (or breakfast for dinner). It…
Butternut Squash Soup
My last post was basically about how hot it’s been here in the Bay Area, so why is this next post about soup? Because you can eat this one cold. Or hot. Call me weird, but I like soup in the summer because it’s just easy to eat. Maybe it’s my Filipino roots… Mom always…
Almond Flour Flatbread
I always forget to take a picture of just the flatbreads for this recipe, which is why it’s taken a while to post it. It still haven’t taken taken a picture of them on their own, so enjoy the picture of my Asian tacos for this recipe. Sorry it’s not a recipe for the Asian…
Hawaiian Sweet Potatoes
These have nothing to do with being Hawaiian except that it’s in the vein of calling things with pineapple “Hawaiian” – like I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure what we call a Hawaiian pizza (canadian bacon/ham with pineapple) isn’t actually from Hawaii. Y’know, just saying and all. Like how German Chocolate Cake isn’t…
Fresh Garden Salsa
Over the summer at the Rumpus Room, Archaellys and I grew a few tomato plants and they seemed to ripen all at the same time. What do you do with a metric asston of tomates? Make salsa, of course! Now my only thing is that you really need to taste test as you go because…
Homemade Gluten Free Onion Rings
I love onion rings because they’re amazing. What I don’t love is that stuffed up gluteny feel after pigging out on gluteny things. So I found an awesome way to make onion rings myself and now the bad thing is I want to batter everything in this and fry it. Total new problem. Siiiiiiiiiigh. But…
Parmesan Risotto
Holy crap it’s been a while since I’ve posted in here. I’m really sorry guys. I’m even sorry that it’s like a never ending apology show below the actual recipes and food posts that go up in here. There has been quite a bit going on though… First is that my job has been crazy….
Lost Thanksgiving Recipe Round-Up
There were a few recipes missing from my Thanksgiving post so I’m going to put them all in one place: here. I know Thanksgiving is pretty much a distant memory as we move closer to Christmas. It was only a little more than a week ago, guys. Seriously. A week. WTF? Anyway, back to the…
Buffalo Chicken Bites and Gluten Free Mac and Cheese
HOLY SWEET BABY JEBUS. Mac and cheese was my ultimate comfort nom when I was kid. I would make the blue box stuff almost every Saturday morning for myself at first thing and have it for breakfast while I watched Saturday Morning Cartoons. And I don’t mean the sissy cartoons they show now (do Saturday…
Thanksgiving Extravaganza!!
Thanksgiving is pretty much my favorite holiday. I mean, Thanksgiving is basically Christmas without all the gift giving crap. Don’t get me wrong, gifts are cool and all, but I totally stress out about who to get presents for and being fair and all kinds of crap. So… just… no. Let’s eat. I’m all about…
