Spicy Korean Pork
This spicy Korean pork is sweet, spicy, salty, and so delicious.

Jap Chae
I first had Jap Chae when a friend brought it to a potluck party. I loved that the noodles had a little bounce and that it was served at room temperature or hot. It is full of veggies and open to lots of variations.

New Year’s Day Pork and Sauerkraut
When I got married, my husband informed me that every New Year’s Day his family would eat pork and sauerkraut. I’m a southern girl but have German roots so I thought I could accommodate his desire. This Pennsylvania Dutch tradition goes great with mashed potatoes. I’ve incorporated apple into the sauerkraut to mellow it up in a very German way. Happy New Year

Oven Paella
The last two Thanksgivings, we haven’t been able to get together until the Saturday after the holiday. We all want something not turkey, so this is our festive celebration food. It is also nice to have a basically one pot meal, that takes relatively little hands-on time.
Peruvian Chicken
This is my riff on Serious Eats Peruvian Chicken. You don’t have the crispy skin but it is also a lot faster and i love working with boneless skinless chicken thighs.

Hamburger and Cabbage Stew
Easy stew for a cold fall day. Easy to customize with whatever you have on hand. Don’t have ground beef, use turkey. Don’t have potatoes, use canned beans or add some pasta.
