Chicken Banh Mi

When I saw this recipe in Sunset magazine, I knew I had to make it!  Anything involving chinese five-spice is always good in my opinion.  Plus adding on all the condiments - there's no way it could be bad.

This is a super easy meal to make! But when the recipe says to matchstick cut your veggies, don't do that unless you feel ambitious and not very hungry yet - it's not necessary. Just cut, grate or slice them in whatever manner sounds easy and appetizing to you. Also, I used chicken tenders instead of full breasts which made the cooking time even faster. And I also subbed out the mayonnaise on the bread for Sriracha. Yummy in the tummy!

Ice Cream, East Side

So Siobhan and Grant and I all got ice cream makers for Christmas this year. So, following up Siobhan's refreshing coconut post, here's my first delicious creation: mint chocolate chip. The recipe was from Thomas Kellar's cookbook Ad Hoc at Home, which Jimmy and I got for ourselves after drooling over Harold's Christmas present from Siobhan. We used mint from our garden... soooo yummy!!!



So Grant, the pressure's on. We want to see your ice cream soon!! :)
