Updated March 26, 2019 We have been on a two-ingredient ice cream kick this summer. I have been making Banana Peanut Butter Ice Cream and Banana Nutella Ice Cream nonstop. Well, the other day Caleb asked if we could make a fruity version, so we got out our stash of frozen bananas and strawberries and blended up some 2-Ingredient Strawberry Banana Ice Cream. I love two-ingredient ice cream because you only need two ingredients, for real....

Updated March 26, 2019 Ice cream has always been a staple dessert in our family and during the summer months our freezer is stocked. So stocked that every time I open the freezer, ice cream falls out. Maxwell giggles every time it happens because I scream. I guess the saying is true, “I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! I also keep a lot of yummy toppings on hand to go with our ice cream....

Updated March 26, 2019 I love making homemade granola. It’s so simple and always tastes much better than store bought granola. This easy Almond Butter Granola is my new favorite recipe. I made it because I wanted a healthy snack, but I ended up eating most of the pan by myself, so I guess there went the healthy part. Oops! I made it again and put it away in glass jars so I wouldn’t eat it all in one sitting and so I would have some in our pantry for breakfast and snacking....

Love you, MJ. Okay, let me set you straight on beets–as in the vegetable. They’re super duper good…. said no one ever (except me). I think they taste like corn, but slightly sweeter and tastier overall. Don’t even get me started on that gorgeous purple hue. I just die over it. It’s screaming antioxidants. Y our bod will LOVE you for this salad. Eating plants is such a breeze when they taste this good....

I’m not usually a huge fan of sweets, but since moving to New York a few years ago, I have enjoyed my share of the local babka. If you’re not familiar with babka, you’re missing out! It’s yeasted and braided, similarly to challah, then sweetened and intermingled with a filling, often chocolate or cinnamon sugar, and baked into a loaf. The texture is both gooey and fluffy, kind of like a cinnamon roll....

Black sesame dressing is a creamy sauce with a sweet, sour, and nutty flavor. It uses mayonnaise as the base, but the fruity vinegar gives the veggies a nice kick. I can devour a big bowl of salad in one sitting with this dressing! Black sesame salad is a copycat recipe from one of my favorite Korean restaurants in Beijing. It was among the free appetizer dishes (banchan), but this one was different from the standard Korean cold appetizer....

Updated April 30, 2020 I know it isn’t technically summer yet, but once Memorial Day happens, I consider it summer. I never understood and still don’t understand why some schools make the kids go back to class after Memorial Day. It should be summer vacation! I always hated going back and I don’t remember doing anything productive after Memorial Day. We were just killing time until school was out for the summer....

As in the entire bag. In one sitting. And we’re not taking your Joe Schmo ordinary bag of greens. We’re talking the semi wilted kind that totally expires tomorrow and looks at you with mopey eyes whenever you open the fridge screaming, “EAT ME, WOMAN!” Neglecting perfectly good lettuce is indeed wasteful and I was indeed neglecting it….until now. The real reason this salad was born is because I’m too frugal to pay $12....

Updated April 30, 2020 This post is sponsored by Kroger. Easter Cookies I think Easter has the BEST candy selection, mostly because I LOVE Cadbury Mini Eggs. Those little pastel chocolate eggs with the sweet shell are pure heaven. As soon as our Kroger store puts them out on the shelves, I get excited. I hide Cadbury eggs, so my boys can’t find them. I have my own secret stash....

Century egg congee, or 皮蛋瘦肉粥 (Pi Dan Shou Rou Zhou), is one of the ultimate comfort foods I’ve enjoyed since I was very young. My mom would usually cook plain congee or millet congee for everyday dinners. But once in a while when she had extra time, she would cook the century egg congee for me as a treat. Why this recipe To cook the traditional century egg congee, you need to simmer the congee on the stovetop until the grains are tender, then add the sliced marinated pork and the century eggs to finish it up....

Chana Sundal is a typical south Indian dish made in almost every house during festivals. I agree to be sent email. But it does not have to be just during festivals for you. A nutritious, low-fat recipe such as this needs excuses to prepare. It barely has any stir-fried ingredients and uses very little oil during preparation. This is Indian style Chickpea Salad can be enjoyed as a snack or a starter salad to make any meal a sumptuous one....

You break open one of these cheese and chive scones, a puff of steam escapes from the hot centre. You slather on a thick layer of butter which instantly melts into a golden puddle of goodness. You lift the scone to your mouth but before you bite into it the rich smell of mature cheddar and chives makes your mouth water and then you take the first bite. Salty, rich, cheesy....
