Yoko-Ono-Yaki

December 14, 2011 in Food

We used to have a wonderful restaurant in Overland Park called One Bite that introduced us to the Okonomi-Yaki, a Japanese savory pancake/omelet dish that we love. One Bite has a few variations, including the Cheese Bomb Yaki that was super tasty! Unfortunately, One Bite is closing it’s doors!   They promised to return in 2012 in the form of a new restaurant in Kansas City’s Westport area (One Bite Sama Zama?!?), but in the mean time I decided had to try to recreate a yaki of my very own. This dish was based off of JustHungry‘s Okonomiyaki, Osaka style.  When I began, I was planning on following the recipe, but by the time I was done gathering ingredients, I had Americanized it, or rather Mullieized it.  I decided that it probably isn’t a traditional Okonomiyaki, so this is my Yoko-Ono-Yaki, because Yoko Ono is sorta Asian like this dish.

June 25, 2011 in Food

I know Father’s Day was technically last week, but we are celebrating this weekend instead with a tasty BBQ on Sunday.   So we’re firing up the smoker and doing all the work on Saturday, so we can roll in to my folks place with a bunch of already prepared food and we can spend the time with the family instead of cooking. Here’s a quick run-down of our menu, followed by recipes for the stuff we came up with: Smoked BBQ Beef Brisket (dry rubbed and smoked with apple wood), Brioche Buns (She Simmers), Smoked BBQ Beans, Bread & Butter Pickles, Mango Slaw, and Asparagus and Potato Salad with Riesling-Tarragon Vinaigrette (Food & Wine) Read the rest of this entry →
