Updated September 11, 2019 Football season is in full swing and that means our television is tuning into football 24/7, or at least it seems that way. The boys barely have a chance to watch Curious George because Josh is in control of the remote and cartoons are not on his agenda:) I like watching football and so do our boys, but Josh LOVES football. He cares about every game, player, story, and score....

Updated April 28, 2011 Halloween is the kick off to the holiday eating season. I decided to create a healthier cookie to balance out the rest of the sugary treats.

I did add chocolate chips because I love pumpkin and chocolate together, but raisins or dried cranberries would be good too!...

These are fast and simple dishes that you can easily whip up during a busy week....

Ever heard of Chinese Silkie Chicken Soup (乌鸡汤)? It is made with silkie chicken, an unusual-looking bird that has black skin and fluffy white feathers. The Chinese name of the chicken Wu Ji can be directed translated as “dark chicken”, referring to its unique skin color. This breed of chicken originally came from Jiangxi Province and has been around for thousands of years. The bird might look different from the typical chicken you’re familiar with, but it has tons of benefits and makes the most delicious soup....

Yewguyz. I’m doing like a fusion of a toe tap and a jump squat right now (I just wrote squart, that should be a word) over the fact that you can make sweet potatoes in the slow cooker. And it’s not just that you can make them. You can make them scrumptiously! You know how baking an orange spud in the oven yields a super sweet juicy thang? Yeah, I know....

I didn’t used to think it was that big of a deal, but now I am most definitely obsessed. Step aside, peanut butter. You just aren’t that cool anymore. I love it on Ezekiel cinnamon raisin toast, on a spoon, and in smoothies like this one. You wouldn’t think unsalted, un-roasted almonds would blend into something so sweet and perfect, but trust me, they do. Since I’ve been really sick of fruit smoothies and not sick at all of cookies, I decided to combine the two....

Earlier this month I was back in Beijing to visit my parents. During my short stay, one of the most comforting things was enjoying the simple homemade lunches and dinners. Today I want to take this chance to share some of the pictures of our homemade meals, to let you have a peek at how a Chinese family serves lunch and dinners. I know it is unfair to use my family’s sole example as a representation of homemade meals in China....

There’s just something about garlic bread, isn’t there? I haven’t met a single person who doesn’t like garlic bread.

These glorious little swirly garlic rolls are no different, except with them you are met with the most beautiful bread rolls ever to exist....
