If anyone asks me about how I relieve stress, cooking would always pop up first thing in my head. Nothing puts me at ease better than being in the kitchen. Everything turns into a melody, a dance, a little upbeat waltz around my kitchen. From the feet twirling around the floor to get me preparing and cooking, to the inviting countertops with my fresh ingredients, to the afire stove tops that promise good food for the table.
Since I met M., I've started cooking a lot more. It's just natural you know, when you're with somebody you love you both tend to enjoy eating (and sometimes pigging out kind of excessively too, haha). M is definitely a foodie, and I am of course an avid home cook. We just enjoy everything about food, from the grocery shopping, to the cooking and the final dining part. We love hosting guests for dinner too, very casual and homey style, if you're up for it come to us!
That is why I want to dedicate a significant part of this blog to update you guys with my food journal and my own recipes. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as we do.
So take a glance of our food highlights last week:
Simple pan-fried lamp chops (recipe already updated here)
Pickled mustard greens soup with beef - Canh dưa thịt bò
Broiled BBQ pork ribs
Spaghetti Bolognese
Fish sauce wings
Beef noodle - Phở bò
Besides, I try to eat lots of veggies and fruits, they are so abundant and fresh during the summer! My favorite summer salad at the moment is a combination of iceberg, spinach, arugula, cucumber, tomato, carrot. Add as much as balsamic vinaigrette you want and a few drops of lemon juice. Give them all a nice toss. Then it's ready to accompany your delicious food on the table. I'll definitely update a picture of this salad next time!
So which recipe of the above you guys want me to share next? ;)
Have a productive week fellas!
Later, NP.
