We all have moments when it’s too cold to go out, and yet the bellowing rumble coming from the pit of your stomach tells you to eat something. I like keeping a repertoire of mindlessly simple dishes taped to my refrigerator door for just such an occasion. At the top of that list is this ginger chicken.

There’s absolutely nothing like hanging out with your best friends over a couple of margaritas, a bag of chips and some homemade guacamole. It heals the soul, I’ll tell you. I’m not sure what guys really think girls do when they get together for a “girl’s night”, but my girl’s nights usually involve homemade margaritas, chips, celebrity gossip magazines and a pan of brownies.

After a winter full of earth-toned root vegetables, seeing bright red strawberries with their sexy sweet perfume at the market is like seeing the light of a warm fire in the middle of a blizzard.

Japchae (잡채) is a festive dish loaded with colorful seasonal vegetables. In Korea it’s served for special occasions, but in the U.S. it’s second only to Bi Bim Bap in popularity.
Most traditional Japchae preparations have you cook and season each ingredient separately, but it’s unnecessarily complicated and results in a lot of bowls to wash. Purists may claim blasphemy, but I’m a fan of the simplicity of making it as a stir-fry.

Looking for a new, delicious way to prepare salmon? Try poaching in olive oil!
Contrary to what many may assume about this style of cooking, the fish does not actually absorb the oil, making it an extremely healthy (and tasty!) dinner idea.
