We have this awesome Thai restaurant right in our neighborhood called Taste of Thai. It’s somewhat of a hole in the wall with seemingly traditional Thai artwork hanging on the dark maroon walls. When it comes to ethnic foods, this is my favorite kind of place. It’s that kind of place that [...]
The Big Flavors are not big meal planners. I mean we do have ideas around what we want to eat for dinner during the week, but we don’t list it out by each day and then plan our shopping trip around the list. We probably should do this, and I’m actually a bit surprised [...]
I think it’s time to declare February as Bean Month, at least in the LKBF kitchen. Don’t worry, I already confirmed that there is no conflict with an actual National Bean celebration. The closest holiday is National Baked Bean month, and that’s all the way in July. For some reason, we’ve been on a bean [...]
Have I mentioned that life in the Big Flavors house is absolutely craaaazy these days? I’ll be honest, recently many dinners in this house have consisted of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches or some Chinese food take-out. Hey, it can’t always been homemade three course meals and picture perfect desserts, although that would definitely [...]
Whataya know about a good madinad’? That’s marinara to those of you who don’t speak Pauly Walnuts’.

Needless to say our refrigerator is currently overflowing with seasonal ingredients. He came home with eggplant, broccoli, both a purple and orange head [...]
I don’t know about yours, by my fridge has been overflowing with zucchini and yellow squash lately. It’s been in the CSA share every week now for the past 5 weeks or so (hey, I’m not complaining). And, every time I opened the refrigerator door, they were staring at me. Two weeks worth of summer squash making me feel guilty [...]
We stuff our faces with all sorts of stuffed foods these days! We stuff our pizza crusts with extra cheese. We stuff stuffing into our turkeys. Even oreos into chocolate chip cookies. Some of our favorite foods are stuffed by design. Take the burrito or the calzone. A burrito wouldn’t be a burrito unless it [...]
We’re picking up our new CSA share tomorrow, and I’m just getting around to using the vegetables from last week’s box. I can’t keep up with all these fresh vegetables! The temperature finally dropped below 85 degrees on Saturday, so I took it as an opportunity to turn the oven on and get a [...]
