A warming congee (aka Chao Ga, Congee, Jook, Rice Porridge)! One of my favorite Vietnamese dishes during this cold, rainy weather. This Vietnamese Chicken Congee was something my parents made all the time when we wanted a cozy and warming but fresh, healthy meal.

🍝 Bougie on a Budget: groceries are crazy expensive right now and I want you to still eat good while saving that money. So I’m making Pasta Al Tonno using things you might already have in the pantry! This meal comes out to about $2 per servings and tastes as good as pasta from a restaurant.

Japanese Beef Curry with Udon. Enough said! It was awesome to find these Japanese curry blocks that I ate all the time in college, and the shaved beef which complements the dish perfectly!

Browned Butter Veggie Pasta - layers of fresh flavors, a gorgeous silky brown butter sauce, an herb oil, and I’m even adding burrata! This pasta dish will bring all the fresh market flavors home onto your plate.
