Sticky Lemon Thai Chili Fried Chicken
I woke up today wanting orange chicken. Then I realized I didn’t have any oranges. So I racked my brain for potential alternative.

Mu Shu Pork w/ Green Onion Mandarin Pancakes
Mu shu pork is one of my favorite take out items. Its pork, dried mushrooms and cabbage julienned. You eat it on a mandarin pancake that’s similar to a tortilla only paper thin.

Chicken Fried Steak w/ Poblano Gravy
There is this place we go in San Antonio called Lulu’s Bakery and café. It’s a great small diner and I mean small. It’s a must hit place whenever we go. I’ve been to this place more than I could count throughout my childhood. It’s home to their 3lb cinnamon roll, diner burgers and their…
Fried Shrimp Tacos w/ Sriracha Tartare Sauce
This is one of those recipes I wish I could go back to the night before and have again because it was so freaking delicious.
