![Spicy Sriracha Vietnamese Pho Soup [30 minute recipe!]](https://ahintofwine.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Spicy-Sriracha-Vietnamese-Pho-Soup-680x450.jpg)
Growing up in the Washington, D.C. area, pho soup is a staple at densely populated Vietnamese restaurants across the region. So of course – my favorite thing being a homebody and drinking copious amounts of wine with the sous chef and our dog-child – why go to a restaurant, when you can make it right…

Mexican-Style Cauliflower “Rice” with Chorizo
NEW FAVORITE DINNER ALERTTT…. um, sorry for shouting, but the whole world should really here this (consider it a public service announcement…). This Mexican-style cauliflower “rice” is seriously so delicious – and I don’t even feel guilty for eating it [read: I’m allowed another glass of wine]. And if there’s a way to cut calories, make…
Pan-Seared Rib-Eye Steaks in a Brandy & Rosemary Cream Sauce
My friends, this is one of my absolute favorite dinners – and with Valentine’s Day right around the corner, this has your special someone’s name written all over it. Listen, there’s no denying I am a huge fan of serving sauce with a side of protein. Yes, in that order. And I may or may…
Broccoli & Cheddar Soup
I’ve found a new way to consume copious amounts of cheese, and it comes in the form of soup (no surprises there…). This may actually be cheese, disguised as soup, and it couldn’t make me any happier. And the broccoli? That’s just for show. It’s part of the disguise. Now I clearly have a soup obsession,…
Cheesy Meatball Skillet in a Spicy Tomato Sauce
Oh, that skillet of golden, cheesy meatballs buried in a wondrously delicious tomato sauce? That’s just my portion. No big deal. Just don’t ask where the sous chef’s is… These meatballs are completely addicting. Oneeeee more won’t hurt [read: I’m in total denial. I was stuffed.]. But this one of those dishes that practically warms the…
Crispy Baked Buffalo Chicken Tenders
You guys, I have great news. Believe it or not, these baked buffalo chicken tenders are magical. The sous chef is a huge Pittsburgh Steelers fan – born and raised, through and through. And this past Sunday, the Steelers won the divisional round against Kansas City – and guess what we whipped up for a game day…
Ginger & Scallion Pot Stickers
One of my favorite things about dining out is trying a zillion different things. I fully appreciate having multiple courses, sharing tons of appetizers, and eating off of the sous chef’s plate (bless his patience). For me, it’s about the experience, and being able to taste the many different flavors and dishes – not just…
Lebanese-Style Beef Kofta with Tzatziki
If you’re asking yourself what on earth beef kofta is, stop yourself right there. Walk run to the grocery store immediately, round up the ingredients for these babies, because this beautifully seasoned beef dish (often made with lamb, but the sous chef doesn’t ‘do lamb’ – the word lamb isn’t even allowed in our humble…
Creamy Roasted Cauliflower Soup with Bacon and Thyme
My sweet, sweet friends, this cauliflower chowder is e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g. This is seriously so healthy (pretty much because of the bacon, duh), and you wouldn’t even know it, because it’s just that yummy. I think I “taste-tested” half the pot of soup, which is totally okay and normal, so no guilt here (#yolo). And listen, if you…
Roasted Salsa with Jalapeno & Cilantro
There’s no hiding the fact that I have an adoration for condiments, and let’s be clear: salsa is no exception. I’d even go as far to say that tomato-based sauces and condiments top my list of favorites, a close third to bacon and wine. And maybe cheese. This is starting to seem like a pretty…
Smoky Shrimp Ceviche with Avocado
Good news, my friends. This recipe is totally doable for your 2017 New Year’s resolutions… to eat everything delicious under the sun – that’s your resolution, right? See, we’re best friends already, ’cause that’s mine, too, and we’re off to a pretty good start. But, if you’re totally into nonsensical resolutions to eat like, healthy…
Grilled Hearts of Romaine with Smoky Caesar Dressing
So cooking and baking are really based on trial and error, right? Luckily, for me (and really the sous chef), these grilled hearts of romaine with smoky caesar dressing were spot on delicious – which is exactly why I’m sharing the recipe with you. I wish I could always say my recipes turn out great – but…
