I’m a big believer of having nibbles with your drinks. Smoked paprika salami goes especially well with a dirty vodka martini.

Cast-iron tandoori chicken with green beans and rice. Marinated boneless chicken in a mixture of fat-free Greek yogurt with Sukhi’s Tandoori Marinade. I love how the spicy yogurt creates a nice charred crust!

Salade Nicoise, a perfect entree salad for the summer! Just make sure you use high-quality canned tuna, if you can.

Oh! And try pee-wee potatoes—they look adorable on the plate. Imagine yourself eating this beachside on the French Riviera. Bon apetit!

Chicken Schnitzel

Dip a pounded chicken breast into an egg wash and dredge through bread crumbs or seasoned flour (as seen above here). Fry in a lightly oiled pan until golden-brown and fully cooked.

Macaroni Alfredo

Cook macaroni according to instructions on box and drain. Return steaming hot cooked macaroni immediately back into the pot and pour Alfredo sauce over it, using a spoon to mix evenly.

I was so hungry, I couldn’t wait for the green beans to cooked so I just had them raw. (Oh, and I helped myself to the schnitzel before it even hit the plate—that’s why it’s sliced off around the edges!)

Treated myself to a box of wild sea urchin from Eataly after a long, stressful week at work. I was in the mood for something simple yet decadent. I piled up a bunch of sea urchin on top of a bed of tangled, lemony spaghettini and added a few drops of chili oil, chopped chives, and lots of Maldon sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to finish it off.

Spicy Chicken & Linguine Soup

1. Boil water with a packet of instant hot pot mix for the spicy soup base.

2. Cook linguine and add to the soup pot.

3. Stir in some chopped shallots, cooked chicken breast cubes, Chinese leaf cabbage and an egg. (The cabbage in the spicy soup base ends up tasting like kimchi!)

Inspired by @whimsicarol’s post, I also made a rice bowl with kimchi and egg yolk…With the addition of spicy pork belly because I was in hungry hippo mode.

I bought the pork pre-marinaded from M2M, an Asian food market located near me off Washington Square Park. It was a generous 2-serving package for only $5.28! I’m totally having the leftovers tomorrow.

At home, I cooked it in a hot cast iron pan with sliced garlic, scallions, and a spoonful of chili oil for an extra kick. The fresh egg yolk literally melted over the steaming hot rice—the cherry on top!
