Bill: It needs some sugar to balance the saltiness. Kaitlin: No, it doesn’t have so much sesame paste. More salt! Sarah: More chili oil and Sichuan peppercorns! This isn’t preschool…we need to go spicier! Judy: It’s supposed to have a touch of vinegar, and we have to use the right noodles, people! These claims, along with MANY other unsolicited opinions and advice times ten. This is our family! I’m not going to sugar coat this recipe....

Posted Sep 02, 2018, Updated Sep 30, 2024 I got my very first job when I was 14, answering phones at our favorite local pizza place in the suburbs of Chicago. Working there caused me to have incredibly high pizza standards. I grew up and moved away from Chicago to a state that does not have great pizza, so we always make homemade pizza. We make this easy pizza dough recipe (paired with this homemade pizza sauce) at least once a week....

Serve these veggie pancakes with a dollop of sour cream or marinara sauce for the perfect healthy appetizer or side dish! Zucchini Pancakes or Fritters I love making all types of fritters and pancakes from Salmon cakes to mashed potato cakes. These zucchini fritters have officially joined the team. I usually think of fritters as a crisp deep fried item, almost like hush puppies. Zucchini has a lot of moisture giving these zucchini pancakes a texture that is a cross between a pancake and a fritter; golden and crisp on the outside and soft and tender in the middle....

Posted Apr 18, 2022, Updated Apr 13, 2024 Since we have such a large family, we always find ourselves with a reason to celebrate. Whether it’s birthdays, holidays, or milestones (potty training successes, etc.), I bake a lot of cakes (chocolate cake & yellow cake) and cupcakes (vanilla cupcakes, chocolate cupcakes) – like these homemade funfetti cupcakes.

Making A Wholesome Multigrain Flour Judy has always been a stickler for eating multigrain breads, and I can attest that we have Chinese multigrain congee (porridge) with our stir-fries at least once a week. That said, it’s hard to keep track of what all the healthy buzzwords mean these days. “Whole wheat” vs. “ whole grain” vs. “multigrain?” We figure that ultimately, the fewer commercial processed foods we buy, the better....
In this side dish, a traditional mashed potato recipe is kicked up with a bit of horseradish and some cream cheese for a delicious dish. While we love this as a side for anything, it’s especially good with roast beef. We love horseradish mashed potatoes because they have such a great flavor!
