Wishing I could be back in vacation mode, eating banana pancakes at my all-time favorite brunch place in L.A.! The January post-holiday struggle is way too real, people.
I can’t believe it’s the first Foodie Favorites of 2016! What are your foodie resolutions this year?! I’m not into the whole “cut out sugar/alcohol/everything wonderful in the world” kind of resolutions, but I love setting cooking goals for myself for the year. Last year, my goal was to expand my cooking horizons by making more Asian and Indian food at home, and I think I did a pretty good job! (Highlights of this resolution include these noodles and this curry. SOO GOOD.) This year my foodie resolutions are twofold: to mix-up our weeknight quick and easy dinner routine (I tend to fall back on the same go-to no-brainer recipes week in and week out, and we could use some variety), and to get more comfortable cooking chicken and fish. I will learn how to roast a chicken like Ina Garten, dammit!! I hope you have some lofty kitchen goals in your life, too. Here are this week’s Foodie Favorites!
