Adventures in cooking and baking.
These Coconut-Ginger Turkey Meatballs are wonderful as an appetizer. You can also shape them into a larger size and serve them with Asian-style noodles, rice, and/or vegetables for a complete meal.
These Coconut-Ginger Turkey Meatballs consist of ground turkey combined with the flavors of ginger, sesame oil, garlic, coconut milk, scallions, fish sauce, and red pepper flakes.
Beignets, fried yeasted dough treats, are most famous in the U.S. as served by Cafe du Monde in New Orleans.
At the restaurant, they are presented generously dusted with powdered sugar along with a cafe au lait.
These pork and cabbage egg rolls are super crispy and filled with a wonderfully seasoned ground pork and cabbage mixture.
These Chinese-American style egg rolls (meishi chunjuan) are extra large (burrito-sized) and packed with filling. Just one egg roll with a side salad is enough for lunch for me (although you may catch me shaving off a slice or two from the leftovers).
This slow cooker white bean and chicken chili includes layers of flavor from chicken broth, sauteed onions and jalapeños, and bone-in chicken thighs.
This slow cooker chicken chili begins with a base of chicken broth and pureed canned hominy. It's a great way to add a corn flavor as well as thicken the base without a roux.
These Peppermint Patty Brownie Bites, stuffed with York Peppermint Patties, are such a fun treat!
Peppermint Patties are on my short list of favorite candies. After all, chocolate and mint are pretty much a perfect pairing.
Rieska is an everyday Finnish Flatbread. This version is moist, slightly sweet, and perfect spread with salty butter.
There are several versions of this bread, including with barley or with potato. This one, from King Arthur, is probably the simplist one to make of the lot.
This Thai cabbage salad is light, refreshing, and loaded with all of your favorite Asian flavors.
This Thai cabbage salad is amazing. I could eat mass quantities. I've made this salad several times, and each time, I wonder why I don't make it more often.
