Updated March 26, 2019 The brown bananas on the counter got me again. They always sneak up on me! I made a loaf of Buttermilk Banana Bread, but still had three bananas on the counter staring me down.

Updated March 05, 2020 Every year, I make coconut macaroon nests for Easter. I make Coconut Macaroon Nutella Nests and Coconut Lemon Macaroon Nests. I can never pick a favorite, so I just make them both. Well, this year I am making a new nest cookie because Caleb informed me that he doesn’t like coconut anymore, even though he just devoured a stack of Toasted Coconut Pancakes. Kids:) I am kind of glad Caleb is hating on coconut right now because it forced me to make No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Nest Cookies....

This recipe is the lovechild of my Incredible Vegan Banana Bread and Carrot Cake Baked Oatmeal. Who wouldn’t want a piece of that flavor situation?! It’s carrot season and we’re doing it up. Now I have a serious question. Do you a) grate carrots by hand with a box grater, b) use the food processor to grate them in seconds, or c) buy pre-shredded carrots at the store? I polled you folks on Instagram and you mostly answered b, just like me!...

Soup is an important element on a Chinese family’s dinner table. Back in Beijing when I was living with my parents, my mom would serve soup every day along with steamed rice, stir fried seasonal vegetables and a meat dish. Egg drop soup was always her first choice. Cooking egg drop soup only takes 15 minutes, but you get a hearty soup that tastes way better than the one in Chinese restaurants....

Frozen is completely fine but try to buy whole shrimp and peel them yourself. I know it’s a bit more effort but the reward is so worth it. Peeled shrimp can often be tough and rubbery while whole shrimp has juicy, sweet meat....
