My brother Jaison is always coming to me for food ideas. He does it to me and my mom. It’s so interesting to me because growing up he was the last person you wanted in the kitchen. I can’t tell you how many eggs he’s blown up in the microwave. But these days he’s got … Continue reading RC Meals: Beef Wine Reduction
I’ve never really been a very huge fan of chili, but my husband enjoys it very much. And I make it my business to make sure I can do anything he likes extremely well.

I wanted to taste the coolness of fresh fish and lime followed by the crunch of a saltine, or better yet–a plantain. I’m seriously missing Costa … Continue reading Pepper Lime Fish Soup

It’s September and everyone who is anyone (and even the nobodies) are putting a pumpkin spin on their menu. Pumpkin is plastered across just about every screen in America.
