I was meal planning recently when I realized it had been some time since I devoured a plate of our General Tso Tofu, one of my all time How to Eat faves. With no tofu on hand, I did a quick brain storm to figure out how I could get the glorious General Tso flavours…

Captain Crunch Chicken Fingers
In the spirit of full disclosure, I have to give partial credit to these Captain Crunch Chicken Fingers to my mother and Planet Hollywood. I first tasted Captain Crunch Chicken Fingers when I was about 10 or 11 and we took a family trip to Florida and decided to eat at Planet Hollywood. We were…
Mango, Cashew and Coconut Chicken Curry
Life’s been kinda kicking my behind lately.

Chicken Soup for Cold Season
Anyone else feeling like this cold and flu season has been particularly brutal? Granted, my daughter is spending her first year daycare, too. Also known as the world’s biggest germ factory. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised it’s been cold central around here. When my nose is raw and my throat lumpy, all I want is a magical cure for my…
