Here’s an easy and tasty take on fish tacos for those of us who don’t really love most fish.

Well hello again blog! I was on a bit of hiatus, and then we moved to Brazil for a few months and alas there was no Trader Joe’s! Nothing even close. I did end up making quite a few interesting meals with our Betty Crocker Easy Bake Oven and hot plate. One real bonus is […]

Ok, I haven’t been to Korea yet so I’m not sure what a real Korean noodle bowl tastes like. The closest I’ve gotten is the Hong Kong airport. Also I think I might have been to Koreatown just once, so I’m quite the expert. In my mind this is what a Korean noodle bowl might […]
