If there’s one soup that I’ve eaten 100,000 times, it’s probably Tom Kha Gai. This delicious chicken and coconut soup, you can find on the menu of many Asian restaurants. It’s definitely one of my favorite dishes in Asian cuisine. It’s easy to prepare and extremely tasty! If you don’t want to go to a restaurant to eat this soup, you can easily make it at home. With this recipe here ;)
Weeknights are not the nights I want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. After a long day working I got better things to do. Cooking dinner has to be quick and easy during the week – that’s why sir-fry dishes are perfect for those evenings. All you got to do is chop some veggies, cut meat into small pieces and whip up a quick sauce. You throw all of that in a big wok (or pan) and you are pretty much done ;) These Stir-fry Veggies & Chicken with Rice are a perfect example for these type of dishes. Quickly prepared and just as quickly on your plate! Perfect ;)

If all dishes were this simple… Chicken Fricassee with Rice was one of the first dishes I learned in cooking lessons at school. The dish might seem a bit old-fashioned for some people, but for us, it’s still a very tasty dish we make again and again and love to eat! An absolute classic ;)
If you take a look at the menus of American restaurants and diners you will probably notice that burgers dominate the game quite clearly. Besides the burgers, you will also get a lot of fried stuff like (loaded) fries, onion rings, mozzarella sticks, and a lot of fried chicken. I love all of that but to be honest – I am never happy with all the fat that’s included in all this delicious stuff ;P Fortunately, you can prepare most of the deep-fried dishes with less fat in the oven or an Air Fryer. Further down you will find one of my favorite recipes to make in an Air Fryer: Chicken Tenders with Honey Mustard Dip. Crispy chicken that’s just as good as the chicken made in a deep-fryer… just much less fatty ;P

If you like to eat carbs in the evening and want them to be quickly on your plate – search no more – I got the perfect dish for you: One Pot Pastalaya. A large enough pot to feed many hungry family members. A super easy recipe that’s perfect for weeknight dinners. Perfectly seasoned with a homemade creole spice mix. So good!
Do you ever think about how famous dishes got their names? Many dishes have names that are connected to places or cities – but some of them have people’s names in the title/description. When I hear the name of a dish like Gnocchi Chicken Alfredo, I always think it’s probably something from the US. People tend to put their names on everything there – not saying that to be mean ;P Well… in the case of this dish here the name is actually based on a guy from Rome called »Alfredo«. At least that’s what Wikipedia claims ;P
