Bánh Mi Burger

Inspired by Vietnamese bánh mi sandwiches, this Bánh Mi Burger is loaded with pickled carrots, pickled radishes, cucumbers, cilantro, pickled jalapeños, and spicy sriracha mayonnaise (and a sprinkling of Maggi seasoning sauce). 

May is National Burger Month! This post is part of an awesome burger grill giveaway hosted by GirlCarnivore.

Shrimp and Pork Belly Fried Rice with Peas

This shrimp and pork belly fried rice with peas is so delicious, you might just jump up and down with happiness when you take your first taste. 

The combination of the shrimp and pork belly in this fried rice dish is a spin on Chinese sausage fried rice, but with pork belly instead of Chinese sausage, and with added shrimp and peas. This fried rice is so good. I keep saying pork and shrimp should get married.

No Knead Bread

Making no knead bread is a relatively easy way to achieve a crusty loaf. All you need is flour, water, salt, yeast... and time. 

One of my favorite ways to blow off steam is to bake bread. In fact, a few weekends ago, after a long five weeks of creating an on line class in the evenings for my teaching job, I cranked out three bread recipes over the two days, and it didn't feel like work at all.

Sourdough Tomato and Basil Muffins

These sourdough tomato and basil mini muffins are wonderful as an appetizer or savory tea time treat. They are also flavored with Parmesan cheese and garlic. These muffins are a great way to use your sourdough discard.

These muffins remind me of the flavors of pane bianco, which is an Italian white bread filled with sun dried tomatoes, basil, cheese, and garlic.

Lime Curd Frozen Custard

This Lime Curd Frozen Custard is tangy and refreshing. You will love its extra creaminess and richness. 

This Key Lime Curd Frozen Custard begins with homemade curd. You can make it with lemons or limes. You can also make this frozen custard with store bought curd if you are in a hurry.

Grilled Chicken Wings with Carrot Habanero Hot Sauce and Blue Cheese

These Grilled Chicken Wings with Carrot Habanero Hot Sauce and Blue Cheese are crispy and spicy, and just about the tastiest wings ever. 

You can make these wings either on the grill or in broiler so you can enjoy them during grilling season as well as during football season.

Traditional Kaiser Rolls

These Kaiser Rolls are wonderful for grilled burgers and smoked beef brisket sandwiches. They have a thin crackly crust and a soft, light, flavorful crumb.

While I have another Kaiser roll recipe on this blog, I've always wanted to conquer the authentic "non-cheater" method of shaping these rolls.
