Vegan char siu bao or cha siu bao (i.e. vegan roast pork buns). Does that even make any sense? Well, yes and no. Obviously, there is NO pork in these buns. But they taste remarkably similar to the traditional char siu bao that many of us know and love.
Salt and pepper shrimp is a dish in the same family as Salt and Pepper Pork Chops and Salt and Pepper Squid; they are all crowd pleasers. Crispy, salty, slightly spicy...what's not to like? You're definitely going to get a bunch of oooh's and ahhh's at the table when salt and pepper shrimp is being served.
There are very few things that say Spring to me like a few stalks of rhubarb do. I am not alone sharing that sentiment just from seeing all the rhubarb recipes posted by fellow bloggers out there. That makes me happy. I do have a little love affair with "la rhubarbe" each year.
How can you ever go wrong with browned butter and a decadent white chocolate glaze?! This brown butter rice krispie treats recipe has been my go-to recipe for quite awhile now but this time, I thought I'd change it up and add some white chocolate chips.
Apple pie has always been one of my most favorite desserts, and I am also addicted to crepes. As I was brainstorming the other day about what kind of new filling I should try for the stack of crepes I always seem to have somewhere nearby (perhaps, because I love making them from scratch), I figured I just couldn't go wrong by mixing finely chopped apples with brown sugar and cinnamon and then stuffing that into a crepe.
Hey Friends! Well, I'm back from the Blissdom conference & slowly getting back into the swing of things! It took me a couple of days to get caught up on my sleep & I've also been trying to get the house back in order since it kind of fell apart during my absence.

Well, that's a great question, and technically I have no idea other than the fact that every time I look at this cake that we created with Monica from Paper Flour Ink (and based off of the amazingly talented Katherine Sabbath 's designs!), is that it looks like unicorn food.
Let me begin by simply saying I did not invent this. I got the idea from here. Which I found through Pinterest. Which is addicting and fabulous all rolled into one. I hate to give you more excuses to waste spend time on the internet, but Pinterest just be be awesome enough to make the exception.
As a nutritionist, I certainly appreciate food for the good things (or not so good things) it does for our bodies. Health stuff aside though, I've always said one of the biggest reasons I love food is for the memories it makes for everyone.
A power-packed, nutritious smoothie that doesn't even taste healthy! An absolute must for your mornings! I hope you all had a wonderful 3-day holiday weekend. My boys partied a little too hard so we are in full recovery mode with this power-packed smoothie.
