Experiments in Cooking
I’m a huge fan of being able to throw together a 15 minute meal that tastes good, has both protein and vegetables, and doesn’t leave a huge mess behind. Many days I dedicate myself to region-specific Indian cooking, but there are an equal number of […]
This is an easy version of chicken korma, utilizing spices out of a jar, and just one pot – the IP – to cook the meal. I served it with a side of sauteed broccolini, and tortillas. It was a huge success! Recipe: Ingredients: Half […]
When cooking just for myself, I enjoy making soups because I don’t find them boring as leftovers and they’re typically pretty healthy to eat. I had a bunch and a half of asparagus and decided to make asparagus soup in the instant pot. The IP […]

I first tasted Kare Kare Beef when the Filipino food truck Be More Pacific used to frequent my workplace. After they stopped carrying it in their food truck, I was determined to have some ALL.FOR.MYSELF. One beautiful sunny day, my friend B and I got […]
White beans, butternut squash, chard & sausage make for a delightful winter soup. I was inspired by this recipe and modified it as I went along. As I was using red chard, I decided to include its stems in the soup instead of the celery. […]
I decided to try a carnitas recipe from Nom Nom Paleo’s website, and man was it amazing! The kid has already requested that I make this again, and I guess I will! There is no browning to be done beforehand- everything gets tossed in the […]
