Published on February 19, 2013 Last week we went to Deer Valley Resort for a dream ski vacation with Kevin and Amanda. We go to Deer Valley every summer for the outdoor concerts and after every concert I tell Josh I want to stay at the Black Diamond Lodge, well, we finally had our chance. It was everything I dreamed of…and much much more. The Black Diamond Lodge, is located slope-side at the Snow Park base of Deer Valley Resort....
What is drunken noodles With a name like drunken noodles, you might be wondering if they’re loaded up with alcohol. However, in this Thai dish, rice noodles, fish sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, garlic, and chili are what gives it the flavors you’ll soon come to love. The name comes from the fact that very often, this dish is the go-to snack after a night of drinking. No need to be drunk to enjoy your drunken noodles, though....

This list of positive effects is too long for me to list here but some of the big ones are its free radicals, anti-inflammatory properties, and its ability to improve immune system.

I have been making this oven baked fries recipe for as long as I can remember. We are big potato lovers and none of us can say no to French fries. So when my kids ask for fries, this is the version they get. Not only is it so much easier to bake fries in the oven until crisp and golden, it’s also healthier because there isn’t as much oil involved....
I have been making a version of these pickled red onions for years now and I’m actually not sure why I haven’t shared it before. It’s probably the most versatile of all pickles as it can literally be used in anything. Sandwiches, tacos, burritos, salads. You name it, it works. For this batch, I flavoured the pickles with mustard seeds, coriander seeds, dried oregano and used a good splash of Balsamic vinegar....
Living in the US, I cannot usually find the same produce I used to eat daily in China. Vegetables like baby bok choy and Chinese broccoli have become a luxury. Not only are they much more expensive, it’s very difficult to get good fresh ones, even at the Asian market. It’s my second summer in my new home, and I’ve started to apply Chinese flavors to local produce. I’ve been trying to use authentic Chinese seasonings with vegetables I can find in Austin....

Traditionally, the dish uses eight different toppings, A.K.A. eight treasures. It a dish commonly served during Chinese New Year and other Chinese festivals....
I always serve a salad in some form with our Christmas meal (this year it will be dinner instead of lunch) and even though a regular mixed or Greek salad works just fine, I wanted to turn up the dial and decided to pull out all the stops to make the salad a show-stopper. It might not be all that healthy but it screams Christmas and is just incredibly delicious....

Ginger Beef is an absolute classic from the hot and humid southwestern part of China. While other regions tend to tone down the spice and seasoning, Sichuan and other nearby provinces like their cuisine tongue-tingling and re-energizing. Nothing embodies this more than the ginger beef stir fry. This is a fantastic take on the explosive flavors of typical Sichuan cuisine for anyone who is not keen on full-blown spiciness. Not to mention, it’s also a party of textures – the beef’s tenderness wonderfully complements the crunchy bell peppers and tender baby bok choy....
Updated January 04, 2020 Gingerbread Cake I love making gingerbread in the winter months! My gingersnaps are my all time favorite!
