I’ve made chimichurri sauce before and absolutely love the flavors, I’ve made it with steak before and it’s absolutely incredible, but it also makes a great combo when served over these meatballs and garnished with some feta cheese. They look super impressive, trust me and everyone will think you slaved over them for hours. But that’s the thing, they will come together nice and easily and they’ll be on your table in a flash!...
There’s something special about baking a chocolate pound cake from scratch, isn’t there? I love how the aroma fills the kitchen, wrapping the whole house in a warm, chocolatey hug. And the best part? It’s incredibly easy to make. You don’t need any fancy ingredients or complicated steps—just simple, honest baking. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously spray an 8.5 x 4.5 x 2.75-inch loaf pan with cooking spray....
My mother, who I dubbed the snack queen, was always bringing us snacks. Not even joking. Always bringing us snacks. A magical bowl or plate of snacks would appear at least twice a day. It was either chaat she made with love and attention, fried masala aloo (spiced potatoes), a few biscuits with juice, or anything else we had in the house. It was especially memorable if she made Samosa Chaat with homemade yogurt....
There is a woman standing by the jukebox, selecting 90s rock songs as she sways her hips to her own rhythm. Power to her for finding a way to dance to those tunes. She takes a short break from her arhythmic dancing to clap her hands and scream “COME ON, JUNIOR!” NASCAR is on television. Then, there’s me, dressed like I’m about to go to the gym. The strange drinker sitting at the bar with a pen and paper in hand, attracting furtive stares from every corner of the room....
Hi, my name is Stephanie. And I am not, a baker. So it’s just amazing that I’ve been able to make this recipe for years and never mess it up. I mean, some days the holes are larger, some days the dough rises up higher, but ultimately, it’s always been delicious. There are so many different methods to making this bread, some recipes have literally have about 6,000 steps. I like to keep things as simple as possible, and at the end of the day, the bread comes out just as good....
Classic French Cassoulet The great Julia Child once said, “In France, cooking is a serious art form and national sport”, and although I think she may not have expected the North American obsession with competitive cooking shows, her point still rings true today. There’s just something about the french passion and dedication to their food that sets it apart. From classics like beef bourguignon and coq au vin, to the lesser known but equally delicious cassoulet, the french have never shied away from complex flavors and rich dishes....
I never outgrew my love for a virgin Shirley Temple as an adult. I’m 100% that sheepish friend at the dinner table that will still ask the server for a mocktail while everyone else sips on cocktails. My dad always stole my Shirley Temple as a kid * rolls eyes *. I distinctly remembered the first time he tried it, his face shocked that he liked it. He would never order it for himself, though....
Rice pudding is one of those desserts that I’m obsessed with eating! There is no other explanation but the simple fact that I grew up eating it. It’s one of those desserts, along with crepes, that my mom would make pretty much on a weekly basis. It was also one of those things that as a kid, I used to swear to myself that when I grew up I’d never eat again....

What Is A Croque Monsieur? This French classic is basically a super fancy grilled ham and cheese sandwich that dates back to the early 1900s! But Croque Monsieur just like my Ham and Cheese Sliders is no ordinary hot ham and cheese. With the addition of velvety bechamel, a bit of Dijon, and dried herbs, it’s a unique and refined sandwich that is baked in the oven until it’s perfectly golden on top and oozing white sauce and cheese....
This was also the first time my family visited me at my new place, and I’m glad it passed Mama Lin’s inspection. She kept commenting that my house was so clean that she couldn’t find a single hair anywhere and that my kitchen was very organized. I scored so many “trophy Asian daughter” points that day. Maybe my clean house will distract her from nagging me about getting a “real lawyer” job....

HOW TO COOK CHICKEN FRIED RICE USING DAY-OLD RICE One of the keys to cooking a good fried rice is making sure that the rice is the right consistency.
