For whatever reason, we’re on a cabbage kick in the BWD household. It’s showing up in noodle dishes, on Dominican street food hamburgers, alongside German food, etc. Strangely enough, it’s not just my fault. Normally I am the cabbage cheerleader, but this time the whole family is in on it. Cabbage Stir Fry With that […]

It’s Soup Season, But We Can’t Have Dairy!!
The Time for Soup Draws Nigh I don’t know what’s up with October 2024, but I am pretty sure it’s not supposed to be 90+ degrees in the Midwest (and don’t get me started on hurricanes.) Still, if the forecast is to be believed, temperatures are about to tumble which means I can finally start […]

Why My German Friend Has Never Had a Runza
The strangest things happen somedays when talking about the weekend.

It’s really no surprise that salmon, which has some pretty strong flavors itself, stands up really well the flavors in Korean bean paste. Please do note, though, that the recipe […]
Lenten Meals – Pan Fried Monkfish in Brown Butter
Monkfish First, let’s clear up the confusion. That’s not a monkfish. That’s stained glass that a monk might see. I have chosen to spare you because monkfish are super ugly looking. Even when they’re broken down. Fortunately, they have a taste like shrimp-mixed-with-lobster with a meaty texture that I think is perfect for people who […]
Lenten Meals – Tuna Steak Salad with Banana Balsamic Vinaigrette
Tuna Salad and Banana Balsamic Vinaigrette There is a tuna salad at Houlihan’s that combines tuna, wasabi and a banana vinaigrette that is one of my favorite salads in the world. It’s also probably my favorite salad that is actually healthy. That salad is the perfect mixture of sweet banana and spicy wasabi and savory […]
