Grilled Pepperoni and Sausage Pizza

The weather is so weird! Last weekend it was in the 60’s in the South Bay and the past couple days it’s been in the low to mid-90’s. I guess with no warning we’re officially into summer.

Korean Barbecued Chicken Lettuce Cups

When I grew up, my family and I had Chinese take out on a regular basis. I always loved the fried rice, dumplings and egg rolls. They were delicious and I always looked forward to those nights when we ordered out. Then in college, I had two Asian roommates. One was Korean and the other… Continue reading Korean Barbecued Chicken Lettuce Cups
