Updated March 26, 2019 I had a bunch of lemons I needed to use so I came up with a new cookie recipe. I am calling these lemon drop cookies! Do they still make lemon drop candy??? I haven’t had one in years! Anyways, these cookies remind me of lemon drops!! They are similar to my lime coconut snowballs, but obviously there is no lime or coconut…so maybe they aren’t that similar:) I love that these cookies are bite size and full of lemon flavor....

Soy sauce fried rice (酱油炒饭, Jiang You Chao Fan) is a classic. It is not just another fried rice. It’s a signature of Chinese cooking, as it uses pretty minimal ingredients to create a wonderful flavor. It uses simple ingredients such as butter, soy sauce, tons of green onions, and eggs to turn your leftover stale rice into a feast. Traditional soy sauce fried rice uses animal fat (pork fat or chicken fat) instead of oil to create the best taste....

Ingredients Needed Guanciale / Pancetta / Bacon. Traditionally Guanciale (cured pork cheek) is used but as it’s not easy to find, Pancetta or bacon can be substituted. Eggs. The secret to creamy Carbonara is using mostly egg yolks. Use the best quality, free-range eggs you can find. Cheese. I like using a combination of Parmesan and Pecorino or Grana Padano. The combination of cheeses adds depth of flavor to the finished sauce and seasons it perfectly....

Ingredients Full recipe with amounts can be found in the recipe card below. Chicken wings. I buy whole wings and split them into the flat (wingette) and the drumette but your butcher can do that for you too. Chipotle peppers in Adobo. Buy the canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce for the best flavor. Honey. Garlic cloves. Garlic powder can be substituted. Smoked paprika. Lemon juice. Vinegar can be substituted. Ketchup....

This is a modern twist on an Asian classic – it’s surprising just how gorgeously the dish turned out when I paired Chinese black bean sauce with salmon fillets. Traditionally, a white fish fillet is used with black bean sauce in a steamer, then drizzled with aromatic infused hot oil. For an example, see the recipe I introduced in this post. However, I stumbled upon the parchment method in a beautiful salmon recipe on What’s Gaby Cooking....

Updated March 26, 2019 On Sunday we had a dear friend over for dinner. It was a beautiful day so Josh grilled out on our patio. He took care of the dinner and I made the dessert-Strawberry Rhubarb Shortcake. Strawberry shortcake has always been one of my favorite desserts. This time I added chopped rhubarb to the shortcake biscuits for a little twist on the classic dessert. Shortcake can be made with cake or biscuits, but I prefer the old fashioned biscuits that are made with butter and cream....

Hummusapien had its most successful year yet. I traveled with companies I adore to Maine and Arizona. I filmed my tenth TV segment with Good Day Columbus. I started writing for My Fitness Pal. I moved to German Village. I received two cookbook offers. I hired an intern. Alchemy turned one year old. I met the love of my life. It has been so, so sweet. Crazy and insane, but sweet....

There’s a sense of tranquility here that I’ve never before felt. I feel wildy at peace. I think I’ll never leave. But let’s talk smoothies for a second. I knew when it was time to jazz up the smoothie menu at Alchemy that I wanted to include a super bright green one. Adding kale and spinach is one shade of green, but spirulina is quite another. It basically turns each and every smoothie into an emerald forest....

Updated May 10, 2011 I was fortunate enough to hear Ree speak at the Blogher Food Conference in San Francisco. She was one of the main presenters and I loved hearing about her life and blogging experiences. I even got to meet her after one of the sessions. Gaby and I went up to say hi and she was so sweet to us. So when I heard she was coming to Utah, I knew I couldn’t miss out....

I have a very good friend who has worked in some of the best kitchens in SA as a pastry chef. Her resume is, needless to say, pretty impressive and when I had breakfast with her yesterday, I was telling her about my hassles with lemon tart and how it always ends up like lemony scrambled eggs or the filling never sets. She told me about this insane lemon tart she used to make at one of the best boutique hotels in the country and how it was fool proof....

Updated June 22, 2020 It’s a good thing I eat a lot of salads during the hot summer months because I also eat a lot of ice cream. They balance each other out:) My current favorite ice cream treat is this Twix Ice Cream Pie. You guys, it is all kinds of wonderful. Here is the low down, shortbread cookie crust with a layer of chocolate, vanilla ice cream, chopped up Twix candy bars, and salted caramel sauce....

What is Zha Jiang Mian Zha Jiang Mian (炸酱面), or translated literally, fried sauce noodles, is one of the most classic and famous dishes in Beijing cuisine. It’s not as fancy or well-known as Peking Duck, but if you travel to Beijing, locals will always recommend this dish to you. My parents told me that zha jiang mian was a dish for poor people. The traditional recipe uses a thick salty soybean paste to make the sauce, together with a bit of ground pork and sometimes lard....
