Are you ready to eat?
Let’s go on a world food tour! Whatever you’re in the mood for, from meat-lovers to vegans, from Europe to Asia to North and South America, these recipes are for everyone who loves to eat delicious, simple food!
My goal is to showcase delicious dishes that I’ve made, which I find are (relatively) easy to make! Some recipes require more time, and effort, while others are done within 30 minutes, but, I promise, you’ll be pleased with what you’ve made!
Unlike other sites, I won’t be detailing all of my thoughts and feelings about each recipe because, let’s be real, in the end, you just want to figure out how to make the dish and what you need to buy at the grocery store. I cut right to the chase and tell you the ingredients you’ll need and show you what the final dish will look like!
As a side note, I’m a big fan of onions, garlic, ginger, and everything spicy, so my recipes might be somewhat heavy with these ingredients, or at least more so than some people :) Be aware of this and adjust these ingredients to your own preferences because you’re the one who will be doing the eating! Enjoy!

Lebanese-Inspired Beef Hashweh Wraps with Labneh
Hashweh serves as a base for countless Middle Eastern recipes. The combination of warm spices and tender meat with crispy, fried pine nuts is delicious on its own. But combine that up with labneh, hummus, and some fresh veggies before topping with mint and parsley and you could say that’s * a wrap *!
Korean Beef with Carrots and Zucchini
One of my favorite go-to recipes, this always hits the spot! Julienned carrots and zucchini soften up while cooking alongside ground beef in an irresistibly flavorful sauce. Between the fresh garlic and ginger, sesame seed oil, soy sauce, honey, and a pinch of red pepper flakes, this sauce does a beautiful job bringing all the elements together. And serve everything over rice so it can soak up any remaining sauce for a delicious meal even to the last bite!
Asian Beef with Snow Peas and Mushrooms
Simple, yet satisfying, that’s the perfect way to describe this dish! Sautéed mushrooms, cooked snow peas, and thin slices of seared meat make for a delicious base, that’s elevated with a delicious soy sauce-based ginger and garlic sauce! Serve over rice for a well rounded, nutritious meal!
Simon’s Hearty Beef Chili
I’ve always been a big fan of corn in my chili. I know it’s not the most traditional, but those small, sweet crunches bites pair perfectly with the rest of the chili. Warming spices, slow-cooked with hearty beef, two types of beans, and tomatoes and you’re left with one of my favorite belly-filling meals. Make a big pot and enjoy it over a few days!
Mongolian Beef
This is the perfectly satisfying homemade version of a takeout classic! A deliciously thick sweet and spicy sauce covers the meat, while green onions add fresh notes to the dish. With minimal prep time and a very quick cook time, thanks to the thinly sliced flank steak, you’ll be chowing down on this family-favorite in no time!
German Goulash
Although goulash originated in Hungry, Germany has adapted an equally tasty version of it, minus the potatoes. This recipe brings back memories of my German uncle cooking goulash in a massive cauldron for the whole family. It’s got a kick with the paprika, but I like my goulash a tad spicier, so I’ve included a pinch of cayenne and red pepper flakes. This stew is sure to warm you up on even the coldest days!
Cola-Braised Birthday Short Ribs
This is a fun and easy meal, that looks and tastes fancier than it is! Perfect for a family celebration! Using cola for both sweetness and a bit of flavor makes this dish taste so good! But don’t be alarmed, your short ribs won’t taste like cola. So who’s ready to dig into some fall-off-the-bone short ribs on a cooler fall evening!
Spicy Kung Pao Beef Noodle Stir Fry
The perfect dish when you’re craving Chinese take-out but want more control over what you’re eating!

Chinese Crispy Chili Beef
Chinese 5 Spice powder is made up of cinnamon, fennel seeds, star anise, Sichuan peppercorn and cloves and is a very common ingredient in a lot of Chinese cooking. By frying the beef in cornstarch and 5 Spice powder, it gives this dish that uniquely Chinese flavor. Add some ginger and green onions, for freshness, and a good amount of red chilis, for some heat, and you’ve got yourself a very tasty dinner!
