Adventures in cooking and baking.
This wonton soup, with pork and ginger, is a fun and delicious take on a classic Chinese take-out dish.
This soup, with its refreshing gingery chicken broth, pork and ginger filling, along with a crunchy addition of romaine, is a light and wonderful first course to a multi-course Chinese-style feast. I also love it for a light lunch.
This Christmas tree charcuterie board is a fun and tasty appetizer for holiday parties or small get-togethers.
This Christmas tree charcuterie board appetizer can be customized any way you like. While mine is fairly small and meant for four to six people, you can make it as big as you like, especially if you have a large serving board or tray.
These pumpkin dinner rolls are light, tender, moist, and are wonderful warm and fresh from the oven slathered in melty butter.
You'll love serving these rolls along with your holiday feast. They are sure to disappear.
These Honey Garlic Sweet Potatoes are slightly sweet, garlicky, and crispy.
These honey garlic sweet potatoes are swoon-worthy. The combination of the garlic and honey, plus a bit of cayenne, will have everyone going back for second helpings.
These stuffing muffins are cute little individual servings of Thanksgiving-style bread stuffing. They are moist on the inside and extra crispy on the outside. If you favor the crispy edges of baked holiday stuffing, you will love these.
One of my favorite courses for Thanksgiving dinner is the stuffing. I've baked it, made it in the slow cooker, incorporated it into dinner rolls, and used leftovers for pancakes.
These mocha oatmeal muffins are filled with walnuts and oats. That's a great excuse for having chocolate for breakfast, right?
These muffins are a wonderful grab-and-go breakfast for busy mornings. Along with a piece of fresh fruit, they are substantial enough to keep you going until lunchtime.
This shrimp risotto is creamy, cheesy, and pretty easy to make too!
Your guests will feel like you are serving them a "gourmet" dish that took lots of time and labor spent constantly stirring a pot by the stove, when, in reality, this risotto is pretty hands off.
