Why You’ll Love Them They may help boost milk supply. Ingredients like flaxseeds, brewer’s yeast, and oats are known as galactagogues.

They are unbelievably delicious....

I went a little overboard on the cauliflower rice this week. With the #EatYourDaily10 challenge fully underway, I accidentally bought 4 bags of prepared cauliflower rice. I forgot that I had already bought 2 pounds of cauliflower rice at Trader Joe’s, and then picked up another 2 pounds of cauliflower at Coscto. Whoops. Guess who’s eating a LOT of cauliflower this week? Luckily, I needed most of that rice to get this recipe just right....

The key to this quick-cooking casserole is the use of quinoa and red lentils, both of which become tender in just about 15 minutes. Quinoa is a complete source of plant-based protein, containing all of the essential amino acids the body needs, and it also helps keep this meal naturally gluten-free. Red lentils are one of my favorite types of pulses to work with, because they cook so quickly. Lentils contain high levels of soluble fiber, which is thought to promote heart and digestive health, and it may also help to stabilize blood sugar....

Sandwiches are great for breakfast, (especially) lunch, or dinner because they are easy to make and are often an assemble-your-own type of meal. This also makes them a great choice for easy entertaining. This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy. History of Sandwiches There are many sandwich origin stories, but the name ‘sandwich’ came about in 1762. As one story goes, John Montagu (aka 4th Earl of Sandwich) was playing a card game and didn’t want to stop for lunch so he asked for roast beef between two slices of bread to keep his hands free to continue playing....

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy. If you visit a classic French Bakery, you’ll likely see these behind a shiny glass: “Croissants aux Amandes” (aka Almond Croissants). My cousin’s wife, Katya, shared this recipe with me on our recent trip to the Seattle area. She served them with breakfast alongside a hot latte. These almond croissants were delicious and easy to make. The recipe can be cut in half for a smaller crowd....

Apple Dumplings Recipe These apple dumplings are the bomb! I could barely contain myself as the irresistible aroma filled the kitchen—waiting to take them out of the oven was sheer torture. And don’t even get me started on having to snap a few photos before diving in! Pure agony, I tell you. But now that I’ve indulged in one (okay, maybe two) with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream, all is right in the world again....

And because these apple pie taquitos are so easy to make, that you can make them on a weekday, in the morning, after work, whatever strikes your fancy.

These taquitos are great because they only require 5 simple ingredients; apple pie filling, sugar, cinnamon, butter and tortillas....

Both hubs and I love it, it’s so quick to put together, and it makes for a great lunch. You can find my tuna salad recipe here. The great thing about these types of salads is that they are quite versatile....

Char siu bao (叉燒包, also spelled cha siu bao) were a staple of my childhood. I have fond memories of Mama Lin buying me char siu bao to eat after school. It felt like heaven biting into the pillowy soft golden brown bread that encased a sweet and savory BBQ pork filling. There are two common varieties of char siu bao: steamed and baked. In this recipe, I am explaining how to make baked char siu bao....

Baked Lemon Chicken Thighs Done Right On Sunday nights in our house, these Baked Lemon Chicken Thighs have become an absolute staple. I love how the zesty lemon marries perfectly with the fragrant thyme, creating this irresistibly crispy skin that’s just to die for. The lemony, thyme-infused flavor of the chicken pairs perfectly with our favorite sides, like creamy mashed potatoes or crisp green beans. It’s the simplicity and heartiness of this dish that makes it a real winner in our home....

If you slice the potatoes too thickly, they won’t crisp up. You want them to be roughly 1/16th” thick, which is hard to achieve using a knife alone. Be sure to hold the potato at an angle when slicing the potato, to make the slices as large as possible. The potato slices will shrink significantly as they cook, so the larger slices will mean you’re not left with teeny-tiny baked sweet potato chips....

This baked vegetable dish is just the type of meal I love when the weather cools down. It reminds me of baked spaghetti, but uses cooked spaghetti squash instead of pasta for a completely vegetable-based dish. If spaghetti squash hasn’t hit your local market yet, you can also replace it with any extra vegetables you like. Zucchini, broccoli, and cauliflower are some of my favorite additions, but I have a feeling that any vegetable you love would work well in this dish....

What Is Beef Rendang Beef Rendang is a traditional meat curry originally from Indonesia that is rich, spicy, and full of bold flavors! But it’s now actually more often known as a Malaysian dish and is quite popular all across Southeast Asia. Yet, unlike typical curries, beef rendang is a dry curry, which means that it’s a much thicker curry with a lot less sauce than other curries like Thai Red Chicken Curry, which is quite soupy....

Furikake Chex mix is a delicious snack mix that’s covered in a sweet glaze and a Japanese condiment called furikake (ふりかけ).

Often, furikake will also contain dried fish flakes for umami flavor. Furikake is a magical condiment that you can sprinkle over many foods, such as rice, vegetables, fish, and even a sweet Chex mix!...

TESTING DIFFERENT RICE CRACKER CRUMBS My original vision was to make crumbs out of Bin Bin rice crackers. These crackers are very light and airy with umami flavor from MSG, and I thought they would add a good crunch to the mac and cheese. However, after I baked the mac and cheese, the rice cracker crumb lost all its crunch. Moreover, the subtle umami flavor of the crackers didn’t stand out against the other flavors of the butternut squash mac and cheese....
