Adventures in cooking and baking.
Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream was always one of my favorite scoops whenever I had a chance to go out for an ice cream cone.

These sheng jian bao are filled with breakfast sausage, eggs, and cheddar cheese. They are then both pan fried and then steamed all in the same pan to produce juicy little buns that are crispy on one side and soft on the other.
Typically filled with pork, scallions, and seasonings, Sheng Jian Bao are often served for breakfast in street stalls in Shanghai. They are similar in preparation to potstickers, except they are wrapped in a yeasted dough that rises as the buns cook in the steam.
Sablés are are French shortbread cookie (pronounced "SAB-blay"). They are sweet, buttery, and crumbly. They're very hard to resist.
The flavor of these cookies is reminiscent of a mildly sweet cornbread but with the crunchiness of a butter cookie. From what I understand, the difference between shortbread cookies and French sablés is the inclusion of eggs or egg yolks in the French version.
Combine fresh green beans, Parmesan, and pasta, along with tasty pancetta to create a creamy and cheesy dish.
Combining the hot pasta water with the Parmesan cheese creates a light and flavorful sauce that clings to the fusilli and beans and ties the whole dish together.
These Singapore noodles, tossed with shrimp, Chinese barbecue pork, and vegetables, are a popular dish traditional to Cantonese and Chinese American takeout restaurants.
These noodles are rich in flavor from chicken broth, soy sauce and other seasonings, along with Madras curry powder, and are tossed with Chinese barbecue pork, shrimp, scallions, and red bell peppers.
These panettone muffins take the flavors of panettone (an Italian celebration bread) to create a flavorful and easy muffin.
These muffins include the delicious flavors of panetton while taking only a couple of hours from start to finish (mostly for soaking the fruit), and with less than 30 minutes of hands-on time.
These red, white, and blue pinwheel cookies are a tasty treat to make all summer long. With just five ingredients, they are fun to make and the colors can be adapted for any season or holiday.
These slice-and-bake cookies are not just cute and colorful, they are also very tasty and will disappear from your serving platter in a flash.
