• Asian Chicken Rice Bowls

    Now if you missed my recipe earlier this week for Sticky Rice you’ll want to go back and check it out because it’s the basis for today’s recipe. Rice bowls are a favorite at our house and a version of them is on our menu at least a couple times a month! It’s tasty and comes together quickly and maybe our favorite part makes delicious leftovers that are perfect for lunch the next day! The marinade for this chicken is adapted from one my mom always made while I was growing up. It’s simple, but so tasty and has a great blend of sweet and salty flavors. It’s also delicious on steak, which…

  • Sticky Rice

    While rice isn’t spectacular, it is the foundation for several of our favorite dinners, one that I will be sharing later this week. It might be shocking but rice has given me fits over the years. I mean, the directions are on the bag, how hard can it be? Well after lots of nights with dry or hard rice I knew needed a new recipe. But there were a few rules, it needed to be sticky and fast. This sticky rice lays the perfect foundation for the recipe I’m going to be sharing later this week. Think Chipotle meets Hibachi. Interested yet?  

  • Saturday Coffee & Dish

    Happy Saturday! Hubby’s birthday was February 24th and we celebrated with homemade pizza and cheesecake. I got him a gift subscription to Foot Cardigan, he’s going to get a new fun pair of socks in the mail each month! Speaking of subscriptions. Have you tried Birchbox? Hubby got me a subscription for Christmas and I love trying new products each month and who doesn’t love getting fun mail?! I got this eyeliner in my Birchbox back in January and I’ve been using it almost everyday! A lot of liquid eyeliners usually leave me frustrated with mix-matched eyes, but this one releases the right amount of product and the tip is firm enough that…

  • Dark Chocolate Granola

      I’m always looking for an excuse to eat chocolate for breakfast and this granola is chocolaty and addicting…needless to say, I haven’t only been eating this for breakfast. It’s also great for a mid-morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, dessert, or bedtime snack…I think you get the idea. I’ve made and enjoyed 3 batches over the last 2 weeks! If you aren’t a big fan of chocolate, this probably isn’t the granola for you. This granola is so fragrant while baking. It made my entire house smell like a giant chocolate bar. Um…Yum! The smell makes it that much harder to wait for it to cool before tasting. While it gets crisper when it’s cool, it is…
