I suggest serving each slice with a dollop of homemade whipped cream....

I often buy a turkey breast wrapped in a net (photo above), but they do come without a net as well and can be tied with kitchen twine (photo below). Buy a 2.5 to 3.5-pound boneless turkey breast or a 4 to 5-pound bone-in turkey breast for this recipe....

Everyone loves baked chicken breasts and roasted cornish hen but I can’t deny how tender and juicy bone-in chicken thighs are!

I had my fair share of whole wheat mantou when we lived in Beijing, as they are surprisingly common alongside the snowy white version. However, whole wheat mantou or quan mai mantou (全麦馒头) are typically pretty dense because of the whole wheat flour, so I’ve never had a really great, fluffy, chewy whole wheat mantou……until now! Why This Southerner Enjoys Mantou! I like mantou because they’re portable, easy to digest, and better when cold than rice!...
Nostalgia for Fresh Tofu The key to any delicious tofu dish is “good tofu.” But despite what Ina Garten says—“good dijon mustard,” “good sherry vinegar,” and “good chocolate”—what marks a really good tofu? I’ve probably consumed hundreds of pounds of tofu products in my time (if not more), but sadly, I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve had truly exceptional-tasting tofu. Those few unforgettable tofu experiences all had one thing in common: the tofu was freshly made and packed with the essence of soybean flavor!...

Posted Mar 25, 2018, Updated Mar 13, 2023 When it comes to Easter candy my #1 favorite are the milk chocolate Cadbury mini eggs (why are they so good – make these healthy nest cookies, mini egg cookies and mini egg brownies). And #2 used to be Reese’s peanut butter eggs. There was something about that egg shape that just made them SO much better than normally shaped Reese’s! Well, you all know that I prefer homemade treats than store-bought, so I created these Vegan Peanut Butter Eggs....
