The original Sushirrito restaurant chain is in the Bay Area. As some of you already know, I live in Sacramento now, so where is a girl to go for her sushi burrito fix? At home, of course! My version of the sushi burrito is healthier, and it’s made with ingredients that you can easily find in your supermarket. Just cook some rice, chop up vegetables, grill chicken, make your guac, roll it all up, and you have a meal in about 40 minutes!...
Sloppy Joes I have to admit something to you guys. As someone who spend most of my childhood in Romania, the idea of “Sloppy Joes” was bizarre to me. Ketchup… mixed into the sauce? Sugar? Mustard?? I didn’t give it the chance it so desperately deserved. I avoided this dish for far too long. It truly was love at first bite. I remember the sauce squeezing out the sides of the bun as I bit down, the delicious tomatoey, meaty flavor....
This has to be the one meat entree that you can enjoy hot or cold. It’s the perfect recipe for leftovers! Enjoy it hot alongside some cabbage or potatoes, then load up a corned beef sandwich for lunch the next day. On top of that, this recipe could not get any easier. Dump your ingredients into the slow cooker, set it, try to forget it, and enjoy. What Is Corned Beef?...
After eating all those cupcakes, chocolate, and frosting (plus some crispy roasted potatoes on the side), my body felt like it gained a brand spanking new spare tire. Let’s just say that things were not pretty. I don’t even want to talk about how my jeans felt. So for the past two weeks, I’ve been a bit more carb conscious. Don’t worry, I’m not about to go all low-carb diet on you....
(Don’t worry, I’ll keep the TMI to a minimum.) If you think about it, it makes sense that squatting is the natural position for humans to eliminate waste. It’s what we have to do when we’re in nature, after all! (i.e. camping) If you’ve ever traveled to other countries, you may have even encountered more primitive-looking toilets designed for just this purpose. — 5 Problems with Sitting on Your Toilet #1: Constipation Let’s face it: most of us don’t get the fiber we need in our diets....
Turnovers are like mini, individual handheld pies made with your favorite pie fillings! The best part is you can take them to go, nbd! They’re my favorite to bite into when they’re crispy and flaky fresh out of the oven. Almost every culture has their version of a turnover - whether it’s a patty, empanada, calzone, or a pasty. When I immigrated to the U.S., I loveddd exploring all the treats in the bakery aisle of the grocery store....
“I want to cook more at home, but I’m never prepared during the week. I wish there was some sort of guide with easy recipe ideas for dinner and a full shopping list so that I know exactly what to buy and how much. I hate buying something and only end up using very little of it.” Well, wouldn’t it be cool if I came up with some sort of guide around this?...

They come together quickly making them an easy dinner idea for a busy weeknight. Try them over a bed of steamy rice or with toothpicks as an appetizer.

I love eating Vietnamese-style fresh spring rolls (gỏi cuốn) in the summer because they are light and fresh and don’t require much cooking around the stove. Traditionally, they’re made with shrimp, pork, vegetables, and rice vermicelli wrapped in rice paper and served with nước chấm (sweet dipping sauce made with fish sauce). When I prepare this style of spring roll for my meals, I like playing around with different ingredients for the filling, such as roasted vegetables, tofu, avocado, and various fresh vegetables....
How to Make the Tart Crust This vegan tart crust is made with hazelnuts, and when it’s paired with the rich chocolate filling, it almost tastes like Nutella. To prepare it, you’ll first need to pulse the hazelnuts into a coarse meal. Next, you’ll add in the rest of the crust ingredients, including rolled oats, maple syrup, and coconut oil, and process them together until the dough sticks together. Press the crust into a 9-inch pie plate, then bake until lightly golden....

Typically, you’ll find Vietnamese spring rolls filled with shrimp, pork vegetables, herbs and rice vermicelli. In this spring roll recipe, I’m primarily using shrimp, vegetables, herbs, and noodles for the filling. Feel free to add or replace ingredients based on your preferences and what’s available to you. WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE VIETNAMESE SPRING ROLLS RICE PAPER (Bánh Tráng) I like using larger circular rice papers (22cm, about 8.5 inches) because they hold more filling....
Dals (lentils) are one of the most common proteins in several places in India. Just about everyday, my mom would have a new dal in front of us for lunch or dinner… ready in half an hour to an hour in a pressure cooker or stovetop depending on the type of lentil. But I always looked forward to lunchtime every Saturday when mom would make this dish for us. We’d have it over rice with achaar or homemade dahi....

For protein, I serve the noodles with pan-fried tofu, a recipe that I learned from Andrea Nguyen’s The Pho Cookbook. When I first tried her recipe, I was pleasantly surprised by how little oil was required to sear the tofu—just 1 tablespoon. Furthermore, even though the flavoring of the tofu consisted only of 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, I found the tofu pieces to be quite flavorful. The tofu is even better when you steep them into the broth!...

I have many fond memories of eating sweet and sour pork with my family when I was growing up. It was something that Mama Lin bought often from Chinese BBQ shops (燒臘舖) for dinner. We all loved the sweet and tangy flavors of the pork, but no one loved it more than my grandmother! She was a petite Chinese lady who didn’t always have a big appetite. However, whenever there was sweet and sour pork on the table, we’d see her extending her chopsticks across the dinner table to reach for piece after piece of juicy pork....
