Timely Takeout
For many of us, takeout during COVID is like a get out of jail free card. Cooking seven dinners a week isn’t easy at all, and so sometimes we’ll just order from one of our favorite spots. It’s fast and efficient. It can even save you a trip to the grocery store. That being said,…
Definitely Super!
If you were given a choice (for dinner): Chinese Hotpot or Korean BBQ, which one would you pick? For some, it’s an easy answer, however that’s definitely not the case for me. Chinese Hotpot and Korean BBQ are two of the most popular themes of Asian restaurants these days. Their new, appealing style of eating…
Persimmon Perfection!
You know me. I love all healthy, and delicious foods. Who couldn’t?

Over the past few years, fusion food has become increasingly popular. Koja Kitchen really represents that popularity through its amazing alterations of typical American foods. It’s basically the Korean…

Craved Curried Couscous
Have you ever smelled a food and thought, “I wish I could eat that so badly, whatever it is!”? My mom’s delicious curried couscous is sure to trigger this same feeling… A while back I posted on the Mendocino Farms Restaurant and their amazing impossible meat taco salad. To be honest, nothing there beats that…
Sauce’in it up
The one thing I always look for before starting a meal is some sort of sauce. Whether that’s mustard to go on a sandwich, or dressing on a salad, I’m all about the sauce. On our Japan trip this summer, we tried a ton of different foods. I noticed that in many dishes, the sauce,…
Vegan Eats!
You sure don’t need animal products to make a lunch taste amazing! Like our rice farm visit, another activity we couldn’t miss out on was the traditional vegan monk lunch experience. Set in Kyoto, the small restaurant would completely take us by surprise. After a morning of visiting temples and small shops, we settled in…
A secret underground food world…
