Chinese tomato beef soup, or Fan Qie Fei Niu Tang (番茄肥牛汤), is a hearty dish that I don’t see often, outside of China. It is typically served as a main dish, because it is loaded with goodies and is filling like a stew. But compared to stews, this one takes much less time to put together. Chinese tomato beef soup ingredients Thinly sliced beef Many American-style soups and stews use thick chunks of beef....
Updated February 09, 2023 It is February and I am SUPER excited because I LOVE February. February is my birthday month, the Super Bowl, Valentine’s Day, and chocolate lovers month. There is a lot to celebrate and I am going to celebrate ALL month! I am kicking off the celebration with these Chocolate Cherry Cookies. They are decadent and one of my new favorite cookies. Chocolate and cherries are a match made in heaven, especially in these cookies....
Updated March 26, 2019 Oops, I did it again! I made more chocolate banana bread. I am obsessed with my chocolate banana bread recipe, it is seriously the BEST! I buy extra bananas at the store just so I can make banana bread. I watch the bananas, waiting for them to turn brown. I think they actually take longer to turn brown if you watch them, kind of like watching a pot of water to boil....
Chongqing noodles is a very popular dish originating from the city of Chongqing, often served as street food or a quick bite for lunch. It was one of my favorite things to get for lunch when I was living in China. It is quite cheap, extremely filling, and tastes addictive. If you like bold flavors or enjoy a bowl of spicy noodles, Chongqing noodles is a dish you can’t miss....
My darling twins Aidan and Abigail turned 5 last week. FIVE! I’m not sure where the time has gone but I’d like to hit the pause button please! Anyway, since this is a big birthday, I decided to throw a party to be remembered. I wanted them to have memories of laughter, fun and lots of sweets and as I have such fond memories of the circus, I thought it would be an awesome theme for their party....
There are few desserts that tick both the refreshing and indulgent boxes as well as Panna Cotta does. I love the smooth creaminess and when served with a tangy fruit sauce/compote, it lifts the dessert to new heights. I’ve been wanting to create a dessert using coconut and pineapple forever and thought this would be the best way to showcase these wonderful, tropical flavours. Caramelising the pineapple adds a lovely depth to the compote which means it won’t just be a sickly sweet fruit sauce....
Updated November 28, 2023 My dad loves raisins, so his cinnamon roll recipe always includes raisins. If someone doesn’t like them, he tells them to pick them out, but he will never omit them from the recipe. I was a little worried he wouldn’t want to swap dried cranberries for the raisins, but he was a good sport:) I made sure he knew I wasn’t trying to replace his beloved cinnamon roll recipe, I just wanted to mix things up for fun....
In my neighborhood, there is a Chinese restaurant that serves a dish I’m absolutely in love with. And while things are a bit out of place at the moment due to the social distancing, I’ve used some of my time at home to recreate it. The curry noodle soup is a favorite of mine. It features noodles swimming in a light, hearty, curry-flavored chicken broth. On top, crispy, golden brown chicken bites and baby bok choy combine to turn this soup into a meal....
Updated April 28, 2011 These cookies are not the prettiest, they really don’t look special, but I am telling you, they are!!I have been eating these cookies since I was little. They are one of my favorites! They always remind me of good times:) The key ingredients are oatmeal, chunky cinnamon applesauce, tons of cinnamon, ground cloves, nutmeg, lots of vanilla, raisins, and chocolate chips. The cookies are nice and chunky!...
There’s something about weekend mornings and pancakes (obsessed with these healthy waffles, too!) that’s just MEANT TO BE. I run downstairs like a five-year-old on Saturday morning, so super duper excited to brew coffee, get out the flour, and enjoy breakfast with the guy I love. Cooking really is a love language for me. Making food brings me a joy that nothing else does. It’s one of the only things I do regularly besides exercise where I feel completely locked in, undistracted, wholeheartedly present....

Crunchwraps in all shapes and forms have taken over the internet. I see them in my feed every week and to be honest, I’m not mad about it. I mean, let’s face it, crunchwraps are pretty much a fancy quesidilla and I am ALWAYS in for quesidillas. And since I started making these easy chicken corn crunchwraps, my family and I have been obsessed. This has become my go-to for using up left-over roast chicken....

Spaghetti and eyeballs is so great for Halloween and so easy to make. I often use store-bought meatballs and jarred sauce (especially great if you want a cute meal in a pinch). For this recipe I used my air fryer meatballs, marinara sauce and al dente spaghetti. The meatballs get topped with mozzarella and sliced olives to resemble eye balls which get placed on nests of spaghetti. Ghoulish, fun and perfect for this time of the year....
Feast your eyes on the summeriest dessert in all the land!! We go through a crisp a week here in the hummus household.

Also from Costco comes my giant bag of ground flax seeds and equally giant bag of chia seeds. Now I have a nutrition tid bit for you today!...
Ingredients needed Bread. Use any of your choice. I used a wholegrain sandwich bread. Pumpernickel, country bread, Ezekiel bread, Rye or baguette will all be great. The same ingredients can be used in a wrap too. Fresh salad vegetables. Lettuce (or other leaves), tomato, cucumber, onion, carrots, beetroot, peppers, spinach, avocado, radishes, etc. are all delicious. Really any vegetable you would use in a fresh salad will work.
