Warm Spinach Pomegranate Salad With Walnuts And Pan Seared Halloom

Clearly she didn’t appreciate it as much as I did. This warm spinach salad is one of her family recipes. The lemony garlicky spinach provides the perfect base for some lovely healthy winter flavors. The bright pomegranate seeds and the toasted walnuts provide flavor and crunch that is perfectly complemented by pieces of pan seared halloom (my addition). For those of you unfamiliar with it Halloom is a salty firm Arab cheese that lends itself well to grilling or searing as the insides melt, but the outside will turn a lovely crispy brown while still holding shape....

Yellowtail Teriyaki

When you go to your favorite Japanese restaurants, have you seen Yellowtail Teriyaki on the menu? Probably not since Salmon Teriyaki and Yellowtail Collar (Hamachi Kama) are generally more popular menu items than yellowtail teriyaki. You may be surprised that’s not the case in Japan. Yellowtail Teriyaki, or what we call Buri no Teriyaki (ぶりの照り焼き) in Japanese, is a staple dish in Japan households. Yellowtail – A Fish with Many Names Japanese love seafood, so we can get very detailed with our naming....

Yufuin Travel Guide

Our family took a trip to southern Japan last year and had an amazing time. Even though it’s still Japan, the food, the scenery, and the culture are very different from large cities like Tokyo, Kyoto, or Osaka. We’ve been sharing a travel guide for each location we visited once a week. If you missed our posts for Hiroshima, Miyajima, and Beppu, here are the links to visit the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, Itsukushima Shrine, and the Hells of Beppu....

Aloo Chana Or Aloo Choley

My favorite Boat Basin memories are the early morning ones - the times where close friends and soon to be friends would show up long before the city was awake to sit on damp plastic chairs, huddling in to ourselves as we held our cups of chai tight and anxiously awaited our halwa puri breakfast. Now we call it halwa puri, but most of the times it was a ‘hold the halwa, bring me puris and aloo chana" breakfast....

Beef Stir Fry Recipe

Stir Fry the Beef. Add the beef to the hot pan and cook the beef for 2 minutes or to your preference, stirring often. Remove the beef and set aside. We’ve been making a lot of stir fry recipes in the Chili Pepper Madness kitchen as of late. I love a good stir fry for many different reasons. First, they cook up quickly.

From the world-class Monterey Aquarium to the spectacular 17 Mile drive to white sandy beaches, Monterey and Carmel-by-the-Se are really special places for a family weekend getaway....

Bites And Booze Navigating The Izakaya Dining Culture

Izakaya (居酒屋), also known as Japanese gastropubs, are integral to Japanese social life and dining experience. It’s where people gather to unwind for drinks, small plates, and good company. Izakayas encourage a communal dining experience where family, friends, and colleagues share dishes, fostering a sense of togetherness and camaraderie. The izakaya culture has also taken off outside Japan, spreading the love of good food and company. There’s no pressure to drink at an izakaya, so non-drinkers and diners of all ages are welcome!...

Blueberry Frozen Yogurt

The perks about having an ice cream machine is that I get to make “healthier” frozen treats at home using fresh ingredients and it does not take much time at all. With having fresh baked goods around in the kitchen, I often worry about losing control over eating them and end up eating all the cookies or cake on the same day (or in a few hours!). However, with frozen treats, I quickly store it at the bottom of freezer so I forget about it most of the day....
