Monday Meatballs with Lemon-y dill Asparagus Orzo. One of my favorite meatball recipes with a spring-y asparagus orzo that’s zingy, fresh, and so yummy.
Spring Vegetable Sweet Potato Noodles
I love everything spring, and this Spring Vegetable sweet potato noodle stir fry is a fun seasonal take on the traditional Korean dish (japchae that includes shemiji mushrooms, snap peas, bokchoy, and cilantro. Feel free to substitute any ingredients as you prefer – this dish is very versatile and always delicious!
Hong Kong Crispy Noodles with Crab
This balsamic shallot chicken Alfredo is my take on a classic comfort food dish I ate growing up.
I also keep it on the lighter side with just enough cream and butter to make it feel decadent, but not too heavy as though you’ll be in a food coma later. It was a huge hit, and I will definitely be making this again when I’m in the mood for a creamy white pasta!

Stonefruit Steamed Salmon Curry
Stonefruit Steamed Salmon Curry – inspired by my short time working on the line at AL’s Place, this steamed salmon curry is a tad sweet, so easy, and absolutely delicious.
Skirt Steak Vermicelli Bowls
Spring vermicelli bowls! Flavor packed with charred asparagus and just a tad sweet from the blood orange nuoc cham, this dish is an easy weeknight dinner that’s extra special with skirt steak.
Lighter Eggplant Parm
Good eggplant parm is one of my absolute favorite foods. The eggplant is custardy, the tomatoes are just a tad sweet, and the combination of shallow-fried breadcrumbs, tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil is just divine.
Watermelon Lime Agua Fresca
Watermelon lime auga fresca – one of my favorite summer drinks of choice, and it’s just 2 ingredients 🙂 You can use any blender you have, and the key is to strain the blended watermelon and use freshly squeezed lime juice. Top with tequila to make this a special drink for happy hour, or make a large pitcher of this at a summer BBQ, and enjoy!
Warm Pasta with Zucchini and Burrata
Warm Zucchini Salad with Pasta, Crispy Breadcrumbs, and Burrata is my pasta of choice for the summer! It’s SO simple to make, and feels light, flavorful, and delicious. Did I mention it’s vegetarian and great for meatless Monday? 🙂
Vietnamese Inspired Shaking Beef Bowl
I’m really in my Vietnamese food era this summer. The last few dishes have all included some kind of lemongrass marinade or garlic lime sauce, and that’s just because I’m obsessed with these fresh flavors this summer.
This week, I’m sharing a “shaking beef” inspired bowl – there’s a garlic soy marinated steak, a tomato shallot rice, sautéed veggies, and a summer-y tomato and corn salad.
