Recipe: 30-Clove Garlic Soup

Posted on January 30, 2020 by Kathryn Przybyla

As never-ending as January might feel in the winter, one thing we can all stay excited about is Soup Season. Ah yes, the abundance of steaming bowls of healing elixir that make us feel wonderful both after a chilly day outside or a sniffly day in bed. And while health benefit reports and studies are … Continue reading →

Get Your Khao Soi Fix at Uncle Boons

Posted on July 25, 2019 by Kathryn Przybyla • Leave a comment

After arriving home from our first trip to Thailand in October of last year, we had been craving the authentic eats from our visit. Blown away by the flavors and the culture, Uncle Boons had been on our go-to list for awhile—to get a taste (again) of the real deal. One of the most popular … Continue reading →

Honey Sriracha Panko-Crusted Chicken

Posted on March 10, 2017 by Kathryn Przybyla • Leave a comment

Did we just make adult chicken fingers? Yup. Looking for another spin on our go-to stir fry dishes, we decided to try out baking chicken in the oven vs. tossing on the stove. Kicking it up a notch with some panko crumbs and a sweet and spicy saucy glaze, we found ourselves a winner. This … Continue reading →

S**t In My Fridge: Shrimp Fried Rice

Posted on February 2, 2017 by kristinprzybyla • Leave a comment

Winter is in full-effect right now and that means not wanting to leave the house. At all. For anything. I scavenged around the fridge and deduced that I had the perfect everyday ingredients for Shrimp Fried Rice: ~1/4 lb of shrimp (I had some in the freezer!) 1 1/2 cups of brown rice 2 tablespoons … Continue reading →

Growing up a Buffalo Bills fan, we’ve been through the good and bad for decades. But one thing stays consistent year-to-year — the game day snacks. Bills fans own the tailgate and game day snack scene with some of the most impressive pre-game celebrations in the whole league. Going back to my roots, here’s a … Continue reading →

There’s nothing like homemade bread to make your kitchen smell amazing. In this case, we went all in with this recipe for Banana Blueberry Bread that left our Brooklyn apartment smelling scrumptious for days. Now although it’s loaded with banana and blueberries, this healthy… Ok, so there’s a whole bunch of butter in here — … Continue reading →

Squid Ink Pasta with Fiery Shrimp

We had planned a cooking date night for a few weeks before we found ourselves at Chelsea Market in New York City, browsing the fresh seafood station. Rows of raw fish, shiny scallops, glistening oysters and lanky squid were on display on beds of ice — but we were looking for the shrimp. Previous trips the … Continue reading →

Green Pepper? No.. Red Pepper: A New Appreciation of Chinese Food

Posted on May 23, 2016 by kristinprzybyla • Leave a comment

Let me start by saying that I am no expert on “real” Chinese food. I have not been to China, nor are there many sit-down Chinese restaurants in Buffalo that I have been too. HOWEVER, if I had to put money on it, I would say that Red Pepper, located in Amherst, NY across from … Continue reading →

Living in New York City is like living in the pizza capital of the world. Sure, we have the gold standard when it comes to thin-sliced pies that you can grab in any neighborhood in the city — but don’t count out Chicago-style and every other variety in between. You can get it all here. … Continue reading →

“Why go to the same restaurant over and over again when you can go somewhere new and inventive in an area that has new restaurants opening left and right?” This is what I am constantly asking myself when making plans to go out to dinner. I find dinner plans to be the best and worst … Continue reading →

Snack of the Month | Snyder’s Gluten Free Pretzel Sticks

So I am not GF or Vegan or Vegetarian or anything, but man-o-man do I love Snyder’s Gluten Free Pretzels. A few of my friends are GF and introduced me to these wonders. I don’t know why but they’re my new favorite snack for sure. They are crunchier than a regular pretzel stick and I … Continue reading →

On a boring, mid-winter day, the only thing that might sort of excite me is the fact that in a few short hours, I can craft up a delicious meal. I found this recipe while surfing on Pinterest: Paprika Chicken with a garlic|butter|thyme|wine reduction sauce. What attracted me the most to this recipe was the … Continue reading →

After a long day at the beach, while on our inaugural Rookie Chef Road Trip to Cape Cod, the foodie team and I were very excited about a nice sit down dinner in Chatham. Less than a 30 minute drive a couple towns over, we walked the quaint streets of Chatham ahead of dinner, stopping … Continue reading →

Sometimes some of the best places to grab a quick bite when hunger strikes are random spots you happen to wander into. Sips & Bites in Williamsburg, Brooklyn is just that type of place. A couple months back, the Rookie Chef crew spotted S&B down the block and decided to give it a try. The … Continue reading →

This recipe might be the most infamous family dish in the history of Przybyla family cooking. My Dad (Chef Ken) was invited to compete in the National Buffalo Wing Fest for the best amateur wing sauce for five years in a row, starting with the inaugural festival in 2002. This was our family’s first real … Continue reading →

Kathryn and I discovered the magical world of Vietnamese food about three summers ago when a colleague of Kathryn’s introduced her to the glorious, Pho 99   in Buffalo. Now this section of town is where it starts to get a little sketchy. Half of the time when visiting Pho 99, one might be worried to leave … Continue reading →

We might be biased, but this stuffed pepper recipe from our Dad might literally be the best summer dish in the entire world. The easiest way to serve and cook these is to prep the peppers and stuff the day before, leave in the refrigerator (covered in plastic wrap) and then take them out of the … Continue reading →

There’s nothing like a home-cooked meal. With as crazy as my work schedule has been, that small luxury of cooking a great dinner has been hard to come by recently. But last night was different. A rare night off had me planning for dinner since around lunchtime. Making my grocery list, since I was clearly … Continue reading →

This year Buffalo had one of its coldest, and most snowy winters in its history. For someone who doesn’t like cold weather or being outside in -30 degree weather, cooking is what gets me through.

Sláinte and #HappyStPatricksDay weekend to this slow-cooked for 10 hours, corned beef & cabbage only. ☘️ #rookiechef
a very #newengland spread 🦞
If you haven’t stopped in yet, visit the @millersthumbbakery in Kenmore! Just opening shop in January 2023, the bakery/cafe highlights some beautiful homemade breads and pastries. The Commuter on sesame bagel was delish!
🍫🥐 In honor of #nationalcroissantday, check out how our recent chocolate croissants turned out! These were definitely a labor of love, about 9+ hours all together, but they turned out amazing! Would we make again instead of just buying from a shop? Maybe. Would we split the process over two days next time? 💯
Quick trip to #Salem for lunch at @turnersseafood 🦪 splitting the grilled salmon dinner, half dozen oysters from MA & ME, and some bacon wrapped scallops with a honey soy sauce to top it all off 🥓 #rookiechef
Swipe to see the glow up ✨
What a soul-warming night at @the.koji.club_’s Shinnenkai 新年会 with Chef Moe Kuroki (of @oisaramen) 🍶✨
when you get that #mapotofu sizzlin’
Here’s to (still) eating good in 2023! #rookiechef #iwannathankme #goodeats #nyc #bos
