Chicken Chow Fun (without the Fun) | Wok Wednesdays

This is Chicken Chow Fun, but it is missing the haw fun (the rice noodles). 

Chow Fun is essentially a stir fry with meat, veggies, and broad rice noodles (the Fun). As a matter of fact, for another Wok Wednesdays adventure, we all made Beef Chow Fun, so I am "experienced" using the noodles. 

Kardemummabullar | Swedish Cardamom Rolls

I've been a little obsessed with these Swedish Cardamom Rolls, or Kardemummabullar, ever since I discovered them. I was first completely smitten by their delicate looking shaping. Now that I have tasted them, I am in love with the complex flavor of the cardamom that is infused in the dough, the filling, the glaze, and even the sprinkling of cardamom flavored sugar on the top of these rolls.

Spicy Halibut Ceviche with Casera Style Tortilla Chips

This Spicy Halibut Ceviche is so refreshing and bold. It is an amazing appetizer and is representative of seaside Mexican street food. I'm so glad I finally tried making it!

I'm in this little group of Fish Friday food blogger pals who post fish dishes on the third Friday of every month. We were pulled together by my friend Wendy of A Day in the Life on the Farm. The theme of this month's Fish Friday is "spicy," chosen by Caroline of Caroline's Cooking.

Crispy Herb and Sugar Plum Grape Tomato Focaccia

This crispy Herb and Sugar Plum Grape Tomato Focaccia originally had the descriptor "thin" in it as well, but when I slid it onto the baking stone, it puffed up like crazy! This is not a bad thing. The bread is full of amazing, amazing (yes, I said amazing twice, and now a third time) airiness.

Mini Cheddar Bialys

These Mini Cheese Bialys take traditional bialys and turn them into a tasty little cheesy snack!

What are bialys you ask? They are a delicious traditional bread that originated in the Jewish quarter of Bialystok, Poland. You can read more about their history and how they disappeared from Poland but survived in New York city in this post.

Grilled Marinated Flank Steak with Roquefort and Avocado Spread

This grilled marinated flank steak with Roquefort and avocado spread is wonderful wrapped in a tortilla filled with pico de gallo, cilantro, onions, and shredded cabbage.

I love grilled steaks topped with melty blue cheese. I love to mix crumbled blue cheese with some butter and let it melt and spread over a steak while it is just finishing on the grill. So good.

How about a freshly grilled juicy burger topped with blue cheese and bacon? Ridiculous, in a very good way. Blue cheese and beef are the perfect flavor combination.
