How I Accidentally Found My New Favorite Recipe Blog

As I was scrolling through Pinterest looking for something new to add to my family’s dinner staples, I stumbled upon something... delicious.

There it was — a beautiful photo of savory chicken over rice, sprinkled with green onions and sesame seeds: Gochujang Chicken Thighs. I instantly knew my husband would fall in love with it. I love surprising him with new meals every now and then, and when he walked in to the kitchen smelling like pure magic, I knew this one would become a staple in our home.

And that’s how I accidentally found something great: Two Plaid Aprons — a cozy food blog created by Mei and Kyong, two culinary-trained food lovers who share their passion through approachable, comforting recipes. Their tagline says it all: “sharing our knowledge and passion for food.”

Isn’t that the cutest name? And the story behind it is even sweeter — you can read all about it on their About page.

Since discovering their site, I’ve tried four recipes that are now regulars in my kitchen:

• Gochujang BBQ Chicken Thighs (the one that started it all)

• Beef Stir Fry with Mixed Vegetables

• Instant Pot Beef Stew (I don’t own an Instant Pot, so I adjusted the recipe — worked perfectly)

• Gochujang Pasta (I tweaked this one too, but more on that later!)

Each dish turned out beautifully — flavorful, simple, and comforting. One of the things I appreciate most about Two Plaid Aprons is how clear and easy-to-follow their recipes are. There’s no fluff, just great instructions and reliable results. I love a recipe that I can simply print out, make my grocery list, and know it’s going to be good.

I’m planning to keep exploring their recipes and share my honest thoughts as I go. If you love discovering new, cozy recipes that actually work, follow along — and definitely check out Two Plaid Aprons for yourself!
