One of the key characteristics of Chinese cuisine is that chefs use every part of the animal to create delicious dishes that are packed with flavor and full of nutritional benefits. No matter whether it’s a Chicken Liver Stir Fry, Braised Pork Trotters, or Beef Lungs in Red Oil Sauce, these dishes use cheap cuts to make a satisfying meal that is quite addictive. Braised chicken feet was a snack I grew up eating....

Updated October 09, 2019 At my last check-up, my midwife told me I needed to gain a little weight. Nothing serious to worry about, I am just a little small for being 32 weeks pregnant. I am incorporating more healthy fats and calories into my diet…and more cookies. I am pretty sure gaining weight involves cookies, at least that is what I am telling myself:) I went home from my appointment and baked Brown Butter Toffee Chocolate Chunk Cookies and enjoyed one for me and one for the baby…and maybe a few extras:)...

It makes a perfect pair as a cabbage gravy for chapatis or a spicy gravy for steamed rice. If you think all Kofta recipes are meat recipes, you are in for a surprise today! Kofta is originally meat and vegetable balls or dumplings simmered in a creamy dairy-based gravy. I agree to be sent email. However, I have a vegan recipe variation that is an eye-opener for many vegans. The kofta recipe can be made from carrots, potatoes, or mixed vegetables....

One of the complaints I’ve heard the most over the years is, how am I supposed to use the leftover Chinese ingredients I bought for a specific dish. Imagine that you’ve bought dried chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, and Doubanjiang to make your favorite Mapo Tofu or Sichuan Mala Chicken. After you’ve made the dishes, you’re left with all the ingredients that take up space in your pantry and lose fragrance over time....

Updated March 26, 2019 Do you ever have those days where you are super busy, but feel like you get nothing done? That has been happening to me a lot lately. The days go by so quickly because I am so busy, but by the end of the day, I still don’t feel like I’ve accomplished anything. Last week, I was running around like crazy trying to cross things off of my “to do” list, but Caleb didn’t want mama to work....

Ingredients needed Chicken. I used a whole chicken, cut into pieces but you can use any chicken of your choice. Chicken thighs and legs work well. Mushroom. Use any mushrooms you have.

Lemon juice. Chilli flakes. Fresh garlic cloves. Salt and pepper, to taste. Sour cream. How to make creamy mushroom sheet pan chicken Can I make this ahead?...

Carrots aren’t an ingredient I tend to use much on their own. Of course they go into every stew and most bases of soups, etc. But on their own, I mostly just eat them raw. I made this easy and delicious carrot soup recipe a while ago and fell in love. The sweetness of the carrots works so well with aromatic spices. Along with potatoes which help to thicken the soup as well as add creaminess, this soup is silky, warming and perfect for fall dinners....

Ingredients I like using a few different varieties of mushrooms in this dish to create a bit of interest but it’s completely optional. I used chestnut/portabellini mushrooms as well as medium-sized brown mushrooms but feel free to use any variety you like or have. Chicken breasts cook much faster than thighs or drumsticks but any cut of chicken can be used instead. Fresh garlic, lemon juice, oregano and a grating of Parmesan cheese adds flavor and makes the sauce utterly delicious....

The truth is that I don’t really even like pie. I mean I don’t hate pie (who hates pie?) but it’s not my dessert of choice. I’d choose a brownie/cookie/blondie/ice cream/chocolate over pie any day. Admit that you want to eat this pot o’ oatmeal like ten times more now that I’ve called it pie. Mmmmmhmmm. But really, this oatmeal is like the best of both worlds—all those heart-healthy oats with cholesterol-lowering soluble fiber paired with the subtle sweetness from granola and coconut…heaven in a bowl, my frands....

Ingredients needed Chicken legs/chicken drumsticks. Any cut of chicken (chicken breast, chicken wings, whole chicken legs) will work but drumsticks are great since they are so juicy and tender and cook faster than bone-in chicken thighs. Extra-virgin olive oil. Fresh emon juice. Chilli flakes. Smoked paprika. Other seasoning like onion powder, lemon pepper etc. can all be substituted or added for extra flavor. Fresh garlic cloves. Garlic powder can also be used....

Ingredients Needed Beef. I used chuck steak (a chuck roast can also be used, simply cut it into chunks) but any stewing beef or your choice will work. Beef shin, oxtail, short ribs, etc. can all be used with this recipe. Onion. I used baby onions and kept them whole but they can easily be substituted with shallots or chopped onion. Carrots. Celery. Fresh garlic cloves. Herbs: I used bay leaves and fresh thyme but rosemary, parsley, oregano and sage are all delicious in beef stew....

What is Eton Mess? Eton Mess is a traditional British dessert. It consists of meringue, whipped cream and traditionally, strawberries, mixed together. It is said to have been invented at Eton College when a Labrador sat on a Pavlova during an Eton ceremony. There are other speculations about how this dessert came to be but to be honest, I don’t care about any of them. All I know is this is one of the most delicious desserts you can make....

This recipe is almost identical to my butter chicken curry recipe. It delivers a rich, silky curry sauce enriched by the butter and cream. It is the ultimate easy comfort food and a great way to use up leftover turkey. Not only does it come together in less than 20 minutes, it’s a great way to stretch leftover cooked meat to feed a family when served with delicious side dishes....
