Jackfruit and Banana Shake
I’m in California at the present moment, hanging out with friends and family, and going to Disneyland! It’s the season for jackfruit and I love eating this fruit fresh (rather than canned). It looks similar to durian, but not with that funky smell or custard-like texture. It’s firm, and many people have likened the taste … Continue reading
Mung Bean Dal
I know, I know. I just said three words that probably confused you. But trust me, this is good. Mung beans are used everywhere in Vietnamese cuisine – from sweet soups, to rice, to its paste being used in clear noodles. They’re in the dried goods section of the market, and can come green (whole) … Continue reading
Soft Tofu Sushi Bowl
I’ve been craving sushi rice lately – that vinegary, slightly sweet flavor you get when you bite into some nigiri sushi, for example. I figured, how good would it be to make a vegetarian sushi rice bowl, complete with seaweed salad, pickled ginger, and brown rice, with the salad spiked with rice brown vinegar? Pretty … Continue reading
Rosemary Shortbread Cookies
A few years ago, my friend Phi made rosemary cookies and I remembered they were so good. They were slightly addicting! Who knew rosemary would work so well in a cookie? I wanted to recreate the shortbread using an old recipe for my Earl Grey tea cookies, this time using rosemary instead of Earl Grey … Continue reading
Gingerbread Toast
I haven’t gotten into gingerbread until recently. I don’t know why, but the flavors didn’t resonate with me…I think I wasn’t a big fan of molasses, but recently my cousin gave me a molasses cookie and I loved it! I bought some almond butter when I was in California recently at a local Trader Joe’s. … Continue reading
Whole-wheat chocolate chip cookies
The holiday baking commences! This year, I have a lot to bake for. It’s my last week in rehab, so I wanted to make chocolate chip cookies, a therapist’s favorite. I adapted Alice Currah’s recipe for that, since she promises they’re the best cookies ever. Yes, a healthy diet means you can indulge and have … Continue reading
Gluten-free rice and mung bean rolls
My mother-in-law made this gluten-free dish for Camille’s birthday party last week. It’s really simple to make, and easy to eat. Simply dip the cut roll in crushed peanuts, a mixture of sugar and salt. I don’t have the exact recipe here for you, but if you can make rice, you can easily make this … Continue reading
Carrot-Ginger Soup
I love soups, they’re perfect for these cold Texas days (it’s 41°F today – brrrr!). We went to a specialty grocery store the other day, and I fell in love with the Carrot-Ginger soup they had there. I wanted to recreate it at home and guess how they made it. My version is pretty darn … Continue reading
Happy Birthday, Baby!
My baby turns one! Hallelujah, I am so happy, to have a beautiful little girl filled with so much joy. I celebrate the small miracles, but here is a big one! I have been wondering for a while if I should make a cake with whole eggs in it. Some of you may know that … Continue reading
Thanksgiving Day
This Thanksgiving means a lot to me. It’s different this year, not being surrounded by a big family, but we’re making the holiday special by really reflecting on what we’re thankful for. We’re basically getting to the essence of the day. That’s what it is, isn’t it? We’re thankful we can spend the day together, … Continue reading
