• Vietnamese Cous Cous Salad

    I decided while I was away that when I came back I would make sure to stick to a more regular posting schedule. Instead of sometimes posting 4 or 5 times a week, then only posting twice some weeks, I would just always post 3 times, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I am going to try and stick to this for the time being, with Wednesdays usually featuring my most recent Tablespoon post, and see how it goes. Of course, there will still be theme weeks from time to time, where I post every day so I think the frequency will be pretty much the same as in the past.

    Seems kinda weird to tell you all that info on a Tuesday post. But since I’ve been away so long, I figured I would give you guys a bonus recipe this week. It’s a good one too! I had some marinaded meat leftover from these burgers, and decided to cook it loose in a pan and serve it with a cous cous salad that was based on one of my favorite dishes, Vietnamese Bun Vermicelli. I ate this for lunch one day while getting some serious writing done and it really got me through the day! In fact I went back for more every hour or so…

  • Nacho Burgers

    I have a little confession for you guys. I suppose I could have started back up a week ago. I finished my work. Handed it in. But instead of getting the old blog-train cranked back up, I spent the past week at the beach eating dishes like this crazy Nacho Burger. Do you guys blame me? It feels really good to dust off the old cobwebs though (I almost forgot my passwords to log in and post!) I am a little worried however that some people may have moved on, since almost 2 months is like 5 internet-years, so any likes, tweets, or general passing along of this post would be greatly appreciated!!!

  • Corned Beef Hash and Egg Sandwich

    My two favorite breakfasts are either corned beef hash, or eggs benedict. I had leftover corned beef, as we all do right now, so I decided to sort of combine the two breakfasts, but in sandwich form, and without the fussy hollandaise sauce. It took me like 10 minutes to pull this together, and it was a perfect hangover remedy yesterday morning.

  • Corned Beef and a Cabbage Slaw on Sweet Potato Steamed Buns

    Corned beef, potato, carrot, cabbage. Sounds like boiled dinner, not Asian influenced sliders. But I adapted all these ingredients this past weekend for a lazy afternoon with some friends. These little sandwiches came out awesome, and would be perfect to make with your corned beef leftovers from this weekend!  Cheers to 1000 blog posts!

  • Bulgogi Calzone

    A calzone loaded with Korean marinaded meat and some hearty veggies.

  • Cool Ranch Mac and Cheese

    This mac and cheese has the flavor profile of Cool Ranch Doritos. There is also some ground beef and cauliflower for good measure.
