Kimchi Fried Rice
Leftovers. Some people dread leftovers. They fear that the food will just build up in their fridge until garbage day, taking up precious space. PLEASE USE YOUR LEFTOVERS (yes, all caps, I know). Leftover food can make the most creative, delicious dishes that you never imagined possible. Look at the bowl of leftover pasta, rice,…

Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
Do you have a kitchen vice? Something that, if left in your kitchen, will basically taunt you until you eat it. Something with the tractor beam pull so strong it should feature in the next Spielberg film? I do. Hi, my name is Dennis, and I have a problem with ice cream. If there’s ice…

Lobster Ramen
At this point in the game, it’s no secret to anyone that I love noodles. All kinds, all flavour, all shapes & sizes. Love em equally. When I was a kid, we ate a lot of ramen at school. Seriously, this is what we would do. We would go to the local gas station, buy…

Spicy Beef Bulgogi
When I lived in Nashville my food eyes were opened. Wait…no, I’m good with it…food eyes. My dear friend Esther lived in South Korea for a couple years, moved home, met Marc (my oldest, wisest, and most musically proficient friend), got married, joined band life. So when the opportunity to feast on Korean food came…

Date Night Grilled Steak Caesar Salad
Salad. Let’s talk about salads for a second, shall we. Honestly, salads for me have always been like pureed soups. Can they be delicious? Yes. But I’m constantly left hungry, and rarely satisfied. When I was a kid, eating a salad was punishment. I hated it. I totally get why salads are great for…

General Tso, I love your chicken.
General Tso, I love your chicken. So. Crazy. Good. Over the past few years I’ve become a morning person. Legit. Every morning I wake up to the annoying scream of my phone alarm at 5AM, and half asleep head out the door to the gym. This works well for me for 2 reasons: I have…

Rigatoni with Ricotta & Kale Basil Pesto
Two food processor based recipes in two days! I know, right!? Simple, quick, delicious, other adjectives, etc etc etc amen. Pasta. Let’s chat a second about how wonderfully versatile pasta really is, shall we. Most cultures in the world have some form of noodle based dish that they call their own. And thankfully, along…

Honey Garlic Stir Fry
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. And again. And maybe a third time. I could eat noodles every day. They’re so amazingly versatile. They’re delicious. They’re easy to make. And let’s be honest, eating with chopsticks is just fun. Some nights, you need supper on the table in under 20 minutes, you…
