Asian Pork Burgers

There are dozens of great flavor combinations that I just love to use over and over, either because they complement one another so nicely or they are ingredients I always have around (or both)! One of my favorite combinations is garlic and gin...

Chicken Lo Mein

nobody@vox.com(Elly) — Thu, 01 May 2008 20:38:29 -0500

I love lo mein. It's one of those things I love to eat at a Chinese restaurant (or for take out), but I've never actually made at home. A few weeks ago, I was doing my usual aimless wandering around Whole Foods when I saw some lo mein noodles. I ...

Pepper Steak

Surprisingly, I have never made a beef stir fry. I have made chicken stir fry and I have made flank steak teriyaki, but never a beef stir fry. I had the fixins for a stir fry so I decided to make one. I must say, it was SO delicious. Unfortunatel...

Happy New Year!

nobody@vox.com(Elly) — Tue, 02 Jan 2007 21:37:49 -0600
