Fork in the Road Kitchen: From Home

Waterloo. Population 156. No grocery store. Pull up a chair for recipes, tips, and kitchen tricks. Welcome to my table.

Also no red light. 😏

American classics and global flavors share the same table here - there's no telling what you'll see next.

Some days, you have all the time in the world, and you make GLORIOUS FOOD that makes your family establish an annual Celebration Day in your honor.

And some days…

You drive 2½ hours round-trip to retrieve a 65-year-old earring from the worst-designed P-trap on a pedestal sink the world has ever known.

You organize TWO inside chicken field trips and ONE outside chicken field trip.

You pick feathers off your freshly vacuumed floor approximately eleventy hundred times before 1 p.m.

Then you throw in a few Rottweilers and a couple of obnoxious cats for good measure.

And suddenly, you understand why a woman who knows how to make just about anything from scratch is standing in her kitchen, plotting a shortcut for dinner.

Because you can know how to make everything.

You just can't make extra time. 😂

Tonight's dinner has a little homemade goodness and a little help from the store.
I won't tell if you won't. 🤫

In case you missed the reel... 😉

Tender beef + rich garlic-ginger sauce with a little kick of gochujang. Slow cooker did most of the work — sweet, savory, just enough heat.

Served over fluffy rice with sesame-chili cucumbers 🥒

Full recipe below! Save it for your slow-cooker day ❤️

Would you go extra beef or extra cucumbers first?

🥒 Cool, crunchy, tangy, with just a little kick! These sesame-chili cucumbers were the perfect fresh side for my Slow Cooker Korean Beef. And they take just minutes to make!

Would you try these? 🌶️

There's something awfully satisfying about tender beef, a rich garlic-ginger sauce, and a little kick of gochujang. And when the slow cooker does most of the work? Even better!

This beef has a sweet-savory sauce with just enough heat to keep things interesting. Served over fluffy white rice with sesame-chili cucumbers and Korean pickled coleslaw, it's a dinner that brings big flavor without making a whole lot of extra work.

And yes, those cucumbers deserve their own little moment. 😉🥒

What's on the plate?
❤️ Tender gochujang beef
🍚 Fluffy white rice
🥒 Sesame-chili cucumbers
🥬 Korean pickled coleslaw

The full recipe is below. Save it for a day when you're craving something a little different!

✨ Making a little magic out of leftovers 🪄

Remember those Turkey, Bacon & Smoked Swiss Puff Pastry Packets? (They're pinned at the top of the page😊). I saved about half of that roasted turkey tenderloin, and it turned out to be the perfect amount for this next meal!

One 24 oz package of turkey tenderloin, two completely different dinners. That's how we make the most of what we cook without eating the same thing twice.

Because a little kitchen magic can go a long way. ❤️

He thought I was making chicken and rice. 😂

Technically, he wasn't wrong. I just left out a few details. 🍣🥢

Homemade sushi, shrimp & crab egg rolls, Shrimp fried rice, and yakitori chicken.

An ordinary Wednesday at Fork In The Road Kitchen. 😂❤️

Roll. Fry. Crunch. Smile. 🤤🔥

Homemade shrimp & crab egg rolls, made from scratch and fried until golden.

That first crunch? Worth every minute.

Full recipe and the whole process pinned at

That CRACK. 🤌🔥

Homemade shrimp & crab egg rolls, from the filling to the final golden crunch.

Crispy wrappers, a hearty seafood-and-vegetable filling, and that sound when you break one open?

Worth the effort.

Fair warning: once you make egg rolls at home, the freezer aisle starts looking a little less exciting. 😂

When Etta croons along with your dinner, you know it's right. ♥️🎶

Golden, flaky turkey, bacon & smoked Swiss puff pastries with a creamy center, served alongside brown rice with homemade chicken gravy and shaved Brussels sprouts sautéed in bacon drippings.

The kind of dinner that makes an ordinary weeknight feel a little fancy — without making a fancy amount of work out of it.

And those Brussels sprouts? Even the person who swore he hated them has become a fan. Turns out, a little bacon and a hot skillet can change a person's mind. 😉

Real food, made at home, with a little love tucked into every layer.

What's your pick: the golden pastry, the gravy-covered rice, or the bacon Brussels sprouts?
