Jian Bing (Chinese Breakfast Crepes)

Back in February I wrote about a savory crepe-like dish I had eaten in Beijing, China two years ago. We didn’t know the name of the pancakes and after attempts to find a similar recipe on-line we were unsuccessful. We started buying and making cong yu bing, another type of Chinese pancake made with a […]

Tantalize your tastebuds with homemade Chili Garlic Paste

After that amazing Peking duck dinner we had on Sunday I’ve been craving Chinese food. One of the things we bought when we went to Beijing two years ago was a jar of hot chili sauce that had peanuts in it. My parents tried to see if they could find a source on-line where they […]

After you roll up your dough and slice it into pieces, you just throw those pieces into cupcake liners (I double up on liners because these […]

Hammie Sammie Cupcake Bites

Day 5 of Cupcake Week! Can you believe it? I wanted to give you a good appetizer cupcake. I came up with the idea of little one bite sandwiches masquerading as cupcakes. I’ll explain how I made mine, but there are a thousand different variations you could come up with by changing the bread and […]

Shirley Temple Cupcakes

Are you sick of cupcakes yet? I’m not! I’ve had Shirley Temples on the brain lately, if you hadn’t noticed based on my post last Friday. For today’s cupcake, I decided to make Shirley Temple inspired cupcakes. These are fun, and a definite kid pleaser. You can go all out and make them actually look […]

Potato Focaccia Cupcakes

We’re already on Day 3 of Cupcake Week, can you believe it?I think LollyChops (LC) deserves an extra round of applause for being ready for this week despite the fact that she’s having surgery this week to have her gallbladder (aka GallyChops) taken out–that is one determined lady, let me tell ya! I actually asked […]
