Updated March 26, 2019 I am on a pudding cookie kick. I recently made Banana Pudding Cookies and fell in love. I was tempted to make them again, but you know I always love creating new cookie recipes. So instead, I made Butterscotch Pudding Triple Chip Cookies. I am usually not the hugest butterscotch fan. I like the flavor, but it isn’t my favorite. Well, these cookies are my favorite....

Fried stuffed eggplant, or Zha Qie He, can be translated as fried eggplant pocket or fried eggplant dumplings. It was one of my favorite childhood treats.

My family also makes it during Chinese New Year because the stuffed eggplant looks like a golden coin and represents prosperity. Plus, it is so delicious!...
Steamed whole fish is a classic dish in Chinese home cooking. It uses very few ingredients to bring out the great flavor of fresh fish. Stuffed with ginger and green onion, the whole fish is steamed until flaky, tender, and juicy. It’s then quickly seared with an aromatic infused hot oil that makes the fish extra fragrant, and served with seasoned soy sauce. The fresh ginger and green onion help eliminate any fishiness....
Updated March 26, 2019 This post is sponsored by Dave’s Killer Bread. Favorite Vegetarian Sandwich Remember that Chipotle Hummus I made? If you don’t remember, let me remind you. It is my new favorite hummus and SO easy to make at home. I can’t stop eating it. The flavor is incredible and it’s great with veggies, pita chips, tortilla chips, and in a sandwich. I made an Chipotle Hummus Avocado Sandwich for lunch the other day and now I want to eat it for lunch every day....
But that’s most definitely a yes-yes. In fact, I encourage it! “Dessert” merely implies that this isn’t the salty, garlicy luscious legume fest that we’re usually drooling over. This is the sweet, chocolatey, peanut buttery kind that kills me every.freaking.time. I could tell you to eat it with apples or gluten-free-sugar-free-taste-free cookies, but lez be honest and say that the vehicle of choice here is a spoon. Or a shovel....

Updated March 26, 2019 What’s for dinner? Don’t you wish you always knew the answer to that question! I do! We cook a lot and sometimes we still struggle with dinnertime.

This is weeknight dinner Heaven right here. Crispy, crunchy juicy chicken cooked in a rich tomato sauce topped with ALL the mozzarella and fresh basil. I mean, are you drooling yet? And the trick to making this recipe so amazing? Good old corn flakes. The idea for this recipe came to me a while ago when one weekend, the kids were asking for crispy chicken. There was not a single, solitary piece of bread to turn into crumbs in this house, my Panko breadcrumb stash had been depleted and the last of the frozen breadcrumbs had been used and I was desperate....

Holy guacamole! This Sheet Pan Snapper is so darn easy and crowd-pleasin’ I feel like I may just weep. By crowd, I of course mean me and Jeff. I had never cooked snapper before. Not once. Never.

I also wanted a beautiful sheet pan meal that didn’t require multiple bowls nor marinading....
This beautiful antipasto wreath is the ultimate festive appetizer and is a showstopper of note. When I served it recently the guests couldn’t stop talking about it and I felt so pleased because 1) it is the EASIEST appetizer you’ll ever put together and 2) It is just so beautifully Christmassy. I used a selection of shop-bought antipasto like two different kinds of salami, pickled peppers, olives, marinated artichokes and crostini....

Steamed chicken is a traditional homestyle Cantonese dish that is very popular among home cooks because it is easy to prepare, very healthy, and tastes so good. Bite size pieces of chicken are marinated in a gingery oyster-sauce-based sauce, then steamed until juicy, tender and full of flavor. Lily flowers, wood ear mushrooms and goji berries are often added, for both texture and nutrition. The dish is usually served as an appetizer, but I love to enjoy it as a main dish as well....
