Who doesn’t love Pad Thai? It’s the perfect Thai style blend of sweet, sour, salty, savory, and spicy flavors. I always assumed it was difficult to make but actually it only takes a couple of minutes! The hardest part is going to the store and getting rice noodles which is something I don’t usually keep on hand. You can make this easily vegetarian or vegan with a couple quick swaps but I like fish sauce too much myself!
All the flavors of a taco neatly baked in to a casserole. My only problem with this recipe is that because it uses cans you can’t halve it really neatly unless you’re making something with the other half of those cans and this really makes eight full servings of food and I tend to enjoy it the first three times and then get bored and it doesn’t freeze particularly well.
We first had spätzle in Germany, which probably surprises no one, and we quickly fell in love with it. It’s a very simple recipe that provides you with pillow soft egg noodles. You can make these with a Spätzlehobel (spätzle maker) OR you can push the dough through colander or you can try your hand at cutting them on the edge of a board which looked like all together too much work. Yeah the maker is a mono-tasker but for $5 it was worth it for me.
This weekend is the cider festival! I’m pretty excited about it, especially because I had to miss last years event. On Sunday we’re going to the Seattle Craft Uprising as well, which is at the Space Needle. We’ll probably walk over to get all our weekend exercise in one go 🙂

I love Oyakodon and Yakisoba so for this dish I decided to combined the best of both worlds and then top it with a perfect little fried egg hat. The dish is definitely one best saved for a special occasion thanks to a considerable amount of work but it not fail to impress any guest.
Who doesn’t love funfetti!? Basically a funfetti cake is just white cake in which you dumped a bunched of sprinkles (aka colorful sugar) in to. It really only make the cake better! This is one I did for Gravity Falls party hence the colorful buttercream and fondant designed but you can do whatever you like on top.

I love nachos. I don’t think I’ve perfected the nacho making technique and actually wish I had halved this recipe (it made way too many nachos and if you’ve ever just had a giant plate of nachos…you just keep going) but this made for a delicious and satisfying nacho-like experience with minimal time or effort.
