Pain de Pecan (Toasted Pecan Sourdough Bread)

This pain de pecan begins with a combination of white and whole wheat flours, and is studded with toasted whole pecans. 

This bread, loaded with toasted pecans, is tasty with just butter or toasted with butter. It also makes nice cinnamon toast or grilled cheese.

Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream (No Churn)

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. 

This mint chocolate chip ice cream brings back the memories of that creamy rich ice cream and the joy of going out for an ice cream treat in the summer after dinner! 

Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Buns {Sheng Jian Bao)

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. 

Cornmeal Sablés | Sweet Corn Cookies

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. 

Fusilli with Green Beans, Pancetta, and Parmesan

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. 

Singapore Noodles

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.
