We’re taking a quick break from the camping, quite literally, right now. Both virtually with this chicken dinner pizza, and physically because we’re at a Starbucks, enjoying some caffeine and free wifi. Mike’s busy catching up on work that he’s been desperately needing to do and I’m just catching up on the internets. Camp life sure is good for unwinding and strengthening our relationship, but maybe not so much for making money/productivity?

Speaking of productivity, if you’ve been too productive and have no idea what to make for dinner, maybe you’ll give this chicken dinner pizza a try? It’s awesome, especially if you actually had a chicken dinner the night before. I’m all about turning leftovers into bestovers and this pizza was pretty awesome.

Mike and I have a mutual love affair with with roasted chickens. When we first started dating, but weren’t really serious, he took me on a birthday picnic on a mountain. There wasn’t a picnic basket – instead there was a plastic grocery bag with a rotisserie chicken, potato salad and a baguette. Ever since then rotisserie chickens give me all the feels. We don’t always buy them on the regular, but when we do, we like to be super animal about it and just dig in, no utensils, kind of like how we did on that picnic oh so many years ago.

I don’t know why grocery store rotisserie chickens have a bad reputation, but to be honest, sometimes they’re just what you need. And, if you’re ever in France, they have amazing rotisseries that sell the most succulent, juicy chickens ever. So there’s no shame in rotisserie chickens. Because if the French do it, it’s totally okay! So, buy yourself a rotisserie chicken, have a delicious meal, and the next day, pop the leftovers on a pizza. Trust me, you won’t regret it. Especially if there’s ranch for dipping!
PS – I just scored a free sample of chocolate trifle while sitting here and writing this post! I love free samples – they’re the perfect size! SO happy right now :)
PPS – This is not a Starbucks sponsored post >_<

Vietnamese Fish Tacos with Quick-Pickled Carrots and Daikon

By
Vietnamese Fish Tacos with Quick-Pickled Carrots and Daikon Sometimes it feels like everyday is Taco Tuesday around these parts. I’m not complaining though – I’ll never say no to a fluffy, soft tortilla filled with deliciousness. Especially when that deliciousness is a decidedly Vietnamese take on fish tacos. The fish here is seasoned with fish sauce, sugar, and a wee bit of turmeric for a happy yellow hue. Toss it all up with some dill, tomatoes, mint, and cilantro and you’ve got a happy mash-up of Mexican and Vietnamese flavors. Vietnamese Fish Tacos with Quick-Pickled Carrots and Daikon serves 2-4 prep time: 10 minutes active time: 10 minutes total time: 20 minutes Fish: 1 lb firm white fish, such as cod 2 teaspoons fish sauce 2 teaspoons sugar 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper 1/4 teaspoon ground tumeric 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon oil 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint 1 tablespoon sliced green onions 1...

Smoked Salmon and Avocado Summer Rolls

By
Smoked Salmon and Avocado Summer Rolls Happy Monday friends! Did you guys have a good one? We had a big ol’ Vietnamese eating and drinking party on Saturday. According to Mike, these parties are called “nhậu.” Basically a bunch of people get together, drink and consume massive amounts of beer snacks. It’s kind of like going to an izakaya in Japan, or maybe heading to the bar for happy hour, only we did it at home since there’s no such thing as a Vietnamese bar around here. Funny fact about that: almost all of the Vietnamese restaurants around here are unlicensed because some Vietnamese people get angry when they drink. Just so we’re clear, I have no idea if any of this is true, but considering this theory comes from Mike–who actually is Vietnamese–I’ll take his word for it. Plus, there’s  this pretty crazy video of some girls throwing down in a pho restaurant  that kinda sorta supports his hypothesis. No word ...

Grilled Vietnamese Pork Meatballs Recipe

Grilled Vietnamese Pork Meatballs Recipe It’s grilling season! Ever since  our first mini grilling session , Mike and I have been living the patio life, grilling up anything and everything in sight. We’ve been doing a lot of vegetables, and along with those, we’ve been doing the every so classic Vietnamese nem nuong. If you guys haven’t had nem nuong, you’re missing out. Juicy, perfectly grilled pork seasoned with fish sauce, garlic, pepper, and a touch of sugar. Nem nuong, or nem, which just means sausage, for short, is a staple on most Vietnamese menus. It’s a signature pink color (from food coloring) and you’ll usually see it grilled or pan-fried and served with rice or vermicelli. It comes in patties, balls, or sometimes on a skewer. Sometimes, if you’re lucky, you can order it with a ton of veggies and rice paper so you can roll up your own salad rolls. I love nem so much that it was one of the first things I learned how to say properly, instead of just sayin...
