Black Bean & Sweet Potato Flautas
One day, as I was surfing along the web, I came along Peas & Crayons, a fellow foodie blogger. I landed on her website because I was looking for a recipe that included sweet potatoes but not in a traditional way. In a recipe for someone who doesn’t even like sweet potatoes in the first […]
Pan-Seared Chicken Thighs with Shallots in Roasted Garlic Wine Sauce

Yogurt-Marinated Panko Chicken
If you have ever made chicken strips, then you know that it is not exactly easy to ace the whole “juicy-tender-on-the-inside-while-crunchy-on-the-outside” thing…without deep-frying it, of course. Up till now, that’s what has held me back from making chicken strips, all that deep-frying business. Until Cooks Illustrated and Pinterest came along, the experimental juices started flowing […]
White Bean Alfredo
White Bean Alfredo Sauce Are you one of those hardcore lovers of the famous creamy alfredo sauce? If you are, then I’m pretty sure you’re aware of how the sauce gets its creaminess: heavy cream.
