Jump to Recipe

Since the pubs closed about 8 million years ago, Bae and I have been trying our best to create at-home pub nights whenever possible. We try to have a variety of our favorite beers on hand and together we devise a pub-ish menu. One night it might be nachos, while another could be burgers. Fish and chips have made an appearance and so have homemade potato chips. But thus far, our favorite at-home pub creation has to be these Dill Pickle Chicken Fingers with Ranch Yogurt Dip. They hit the spot like no other and I have to say, they may be the best chicken fingers I’ve ever had.

Chicken Farro Skillet with Green Olives and Preserved Lemon

I’m not usually a source for hit-the-kitchen-running recipe ideas. I prefer to keep things chill, methodical, and occasionally, blissfully monotonous.

To be honest, I don’t think it thrilled me then, I sort of think that’s what I liked about it.

This Gochujang Glazed Chicken is the latest installment in my poultry-related experiments.

We’re in the dregs of February now and slowly but surely the light is returning. But I have to say, spring still feels pretty far away. It certainly felt far away at 6:30 this morning as Sunny and I were shoveling our way out of our home. So yeah, you could say February still has its bleak hold on me and that means comfort food, the more carb-heavy, the better. And if I can eat two comfort foods simultaneously, so much the better, or at least that’s what I thought when I dreamed up this Hainanese Chicken Risotto.
