Last week I posted a note about Monthly (Batch) Cooking and the wide variety of meals you can prepare ahead and freeze. This Chicken Teriyaki is one of the meals we made last week from a recipe inspired by Raymond at Ang Sarap. There was a time when we used a bottled sauce, but with [...]

Chicken Teriyaki & Stir-Fry Vegetables
Pad Thai Recipe and Red Boat Fish Sauce
When writing about Emeril’s Wok Seared Duck Salad, I mentioned his recommendation for fish sauce with the ingredient list. Shortly after posting, Red Boat Fish Sauce asked if I would try their sauce to compare. I only recommend products I like and use, so it has taken me a couple of weeks to put it [...]
Emeril’s Wok-Seared Duck Salad Recipe: Romantic Sizzling Skillets
When the email arrived from The Secret Ingredient with three recipes we could share from Emeril’s Sizzling Skillets and Other One-Pot Wonders, I admit, there was a hint of skepticism when I saw this one. Not really a big fan of duck, but I knew I could not recommend something I hadn’t tried. Although there [...]

Kung Pao Chicken: With Gluten-Free Options and Monthly Cooking Instructions
Kung Pao is a standard on any Chinese menu, and while we enjoy the occasional take-out as much as anyone does, it is always healthier when we control the ingredients. Another great reason to make Kung Pao at home is the freedom to adjust the spice to your own preference. I would classify this recipe [...]
Spicy Thai-Style Pineapple Wraps: Test Kitchen Tuesday
I saw Spicy Thai-Style Pineapple Wraps demonstrated on Emeril Live, highlighting a cookbook by Food Network Kitchens, Get Grilling. This recipe looks perfect for summer grilling and the spice easy to adjust based on preference. Although it was presented as an appetizer for a grilling menu, I plan to serve it tonight as a [...]
Beef Lo Mein [with Gluten-Free options]
This popular takeout dish will make you want to grab chopsticks and dig in, unless of course, a fork is closer. But who needs takeout? With just a little extra care in the prep, this dish comes together quickly and easily with beefy, noodley, tender vegetables in savory perfection. Preparing Beef Lo Mein at home [...]
Test Kitchen Tuesdays: Seafood Lo Mein
It’s Test Kitchen Tuesday, so it is time to add something new to the recipe collection. Seafood Lo Mein sounds so good right now, I am looking forward to trying this recipe I discovered on emerils.com—the sesame oiled noodle cake really piques my interest. Just glancing at the ingredient list, I can tell already that [...]
Thai Peanut Sauce
A few months ago, I discovered Sister’s Pantry Peanut Sauce at Whole Foods while on the hunt for new ways to prepare vegetables. It put a great new twist on quick stir-fry meals with a nutty, tangy-sweet, spice that we love. Bottled sauces and marinades have the advantage of easy, but the cost can be [...]
Thai Cocktail Sauce for Seafood
When we splurge on wild-caught shrimp for our Sweetheart Dinner appetizer, dressing it with ketchup and horseradish does not suffice. This Thai Cocktail Sauce more than fit the bill with its tangy, sweet, subtle spice culminating in a complex finish—we even dipped our Prosciutto-Wrapped Shrimp & Goat Cheese in it. The tell of any great [...]
