Annual Birthday Trip: Maui

November 19, 2024 / Davy Khy

Every year, I travel for my birthday. I started this tradition in 2018 because I just didn’t feel like hosting dinners anymore. Not that there’s anything wrong with hosting dinners, but it was starting to feel awkward as I got older because of combining different friend groups who don’t really mesh and not wanting to leave anyone out. In those situations, it’s difficult as a guest to mingle when you’re seated at a big table, stuck talking to the stranger sitting next to you. My new tradition has been more fun because I get to pick a different destination every year.

Garlic Butter Shrimp

April 03, 2022 / Davy Khy

Who loves garlic butter shrimp? I do! It’s also a super easy dish to make with few ingredients. I always have frozen shrimp in my freezer so this was an easy go-to meal to make, especially after not having been to the grocery store in almost a week!

Garlic Noodles with Parmesan

July 19, 2021 / Davy Khy

I only learned how to make garlic noodles recently after having it out at a restaurant and I was immediately hooked! I could not stop stuffing my face with noodles! The recipe only involves a few ingredients and is so simple to make. Garlic noodles is the perfect weeknight dinner or side dish. And it’s addictive.

I love a good steak and I especially love making it myself because it is super easy to do. It makes me feel kind of fancy and it looks really impressive too. I have partnered with Aspen Ridge® Natural Angus Beef to show you how to make a beautiful steak dinner at home.

Braised White Wine & Soy Chicken Thighs with Mushrooms

December 15, 2020 / Davy Khy

In my early stages of learning how to cook, I made many meals from a cookbook that I think was called How to Cook Everything. It wasn’t mine. It belonged to my live-in boyfriend at the time and it was a huge book! Probably the size of a dictionary. From what I remember though, it had some good recipes.

Los Olivos Birthday Trip

December 02, 2020 / Davy Khy

For my last three birthdays, I’ve traveled abroad and went on yoga retreats and it has always brought me so much joy. Last year, I spent my entire birthday month in Cambodia and it was incredible. I’m very forunate to have been able to travel abroad as much as I have and explore the world, learn about different cultures, and connect with new people.

Tortilla Espanola

July 30, 2020 / Davy Khy

In Boston where I’m from, I had access to a lot of European food, particularly French, Spanish, and Italian seafood. In Los Angeles, I hardly go out for European food. Here, I often have tacos, sushi, Thai, and Middle Eastern food. Recently, I was thinking about a Spanish restaurant called Tapeo’s in Boston that I used to frequent in college. I loved ordering their tortilla espanola, patatas bravas, and gambas ajillo. These dishes are simple and yet so delicious. Tapas are so versatile. They are great for a light meal, snack, or appetizer. It has been years since I’ve made a Tortilla Espanola or Spanish Omelette, but I gave it another try and I still love it just as much as I did in my college years!

Asparagus & Mushroom Stir-fry

May 12, 2020 / Davy Khy

Stir-fry is a great way to use leftover vegetables. You can throw in whatever protein or veggies you have in your fridge and then there ya go—instant meal. I don’t make stir-fry very often because I feel like I can never get the flavor just right. But this time, I really liked it!
