Miso Sesame Soba Noodles

A new recipe that I decided to try! It was pretty good but the sauce was a bit thick and heavy for me. I find the natural earthy flavour of plain soba to be really good already. Would still make this again though!

Dinner with CC & David at our house!

Another one of my hopes for this year is to host more in our home! I prepped the ingredients while C was his church meeting so he could make dinner in the instant pot when he got home. He made a pasta that I think he’s only made one other time. I also made a small charcuterie board - we still have so much cheese and crackers leftover from the holidays! Turns out you don’t need that much to make charcuterie boards. I like to have a lot of variety. My favourite is definitely the truffle cheese.

Lots of chats about travelling this year and other exciting future things.

Garlic Chili Oil Noodles

I started making this dish last year and so far, my favourite recipe to follow is this one from Pick Up Limes.

The flavour packs a punch and it’s honestly super easy to make. The first time I tried to make it with a different recipe, I found the sauce difficult to make and it didn’t match the ratio to the amount of noodles when I wanted to increase the serving size. 

This year, I would like to create a little recipe book or box to have on hand in our kitchen so that I don’t always have to refer to our go to recipes on my iPad.

During undergrad, I had a huge phase with brussel sprouts. I stopped eating them after that because I got sick of them. It finally felt like it had been a long enough break, and yesterday I tried a new recipe.

Brussel sprouts

Olive oil

Butter

Garlic

Salt and pepper

Grated cheese (optional)

They were absolutely delicious. Definitely the best brussel sprouts I’ve ever made. Planning to make them for C this upcoming weekend.

Experimenting with creating different kinds of fried rice recipes:

Teriyaki chicken

White rice

Edamame

Black beans

Red pepper

Broccoli

To be fair, I did cheat a little with the veggies by using an already mixed frozen veggie pack - but hey! Busy student’s gotta do what she’s gotta do.

What my salads look like these days! It’s a combination of:

Spring Mix

Fresh Parmesan cheese

Red baby tomatoes

Smoked tofu

Alfalfa sprouts 

Japanese miso dressing

I actually have a new found love of salads since starting fourth year. They’re so quick and easy to make - healthy too.
