The culprit is probably turmeric powder, a fragrant spice used in cooking as both a flavoring and coloring agent. It’s typical of savory cooking in the Indian subcontinent and Asia, where it is also known for its role in traditional medicine as an anti-inflammatory, among other applications. Though contemporary scientific studies have yet to fully verify the medicinal properties of turmeric, word of its purported health benefits has spread in Western culture in recent years....
While many recipes on the internet for Vegetable Chow Mein feature soft noodles (similar to lo mein), this recipe makes a proper chow mein. That means we’re using crispy and chewy Hong Kong-style Cantonese pan-fried noodles, with a mix of bok choy, mushrooms, and bean sprouts. What’s the Difference Between Chow Mein and Lo Mein? So for anyone who gets confused between “chow mein” and “lo mein,” what’s the difference, you might ask?...

©Cook Crave Inspire by SpendWithPennies.com Have you have heard of Watergate salad… (which really isn’t salad, it’s more like dessert fluff similar to my Cranberry Millionaire salad or Ambrosia salad). It’s delicious… and regardless whether it’s salad or not, Watergate ‘Salad’ is super yummy! It consists of pistachio pudding with nuts & coconut… how could it not be delish!! Recently I acquired some amazing boxes of vintage recipes and while searching for treasures, I came across a recipe for Watergate Cookies!...
Since most watermelon is water, some people think it is a very light drink. But actually, it is very filling and heavy. Watermelon is high in fiber and is slightly difficult to digest. The fiber in watermelon helps digest other food that you eat but the fruit itself takes some time to digest completely. Best time to eat That’s why the oldies would often suggest avoiding having this fruit at night....

Considering all of the other variations of fried rice (with egg, pork, chicken, beef, vegetable, etc.) I might be so bold as to conclude that this Young Chow Fried Rice may be the only authentic fried rice dish that can be easily traced from the West back to China. I mean, who in ancient China made roast pork fried rice, or even roast pork like it’s made today? I’m guessing nobody....
But I think I have devised kind of a brilliant loophole. Cacio e pepe directly translates to “cheese and pepper.” So why not get a little creative when considering the pepper half of the equation? Instead of just black peppercorns, this recipe uses black, white, AND Sichuan peppercorns for a spicy, very slightly “numbing” concoction. I know. Crazy. Good. The flavor of this cacio e pepe recipe is really full-bodied–and delightfully East meets West-esque....
Simple to make and everyone absolutely loves it, we often spike this recipe with a splash of Frangelico or Irish Cream liquor!

Like most air fryer recipes, this is easy to make and a cinch to clean up! We use way less oil making them healthier (and equally delicious). They can be made-to-order in minutes! Even frozen potatoes can be used just by adjusting the cook times!...
I had these Almond Coconut Macaroons at a party over the holidays and have been making them ever since. Trish from Mom on Time Out has an amazing Almond Joy Cookies recipe which is both delicious and simple and I’ve been swooning over them for months. These cookies are essentially a coconut macaroon that’s loaded with chopped almonds and chocolate chips. Add a drizzle of chocolate over the top and a whole almond, and you’ve got a cookie that’s as pretty as it is delicious....
This a prime example of simple but hearty comfort food at it’s best. Served with a warm plate of steamed basmati rice and some cutlets, perhaps an Aloo Ki Tikki, is my idea of perfection after a busy day. One thing I’ve been taught about these types of curries is that a lot of love and labour goes into making the masala, the tomato and onion base of the curry....
© SpendWithPennies.com I don’t know about you, but I LOVE garlic bread. A crispy crust loaded with a warm buttery garlic and baked until soft and melty. The perfect side for a plate of spaghetti and to sop up any sauce left in the bottom of the bowl but honestly, it makes an amazing sandwich too! (If you’ve never made a sandwich on garlic bread… add it to your must try list, you won’t be sorry)!...

Beijing was a different place back then—a lot more of the old and less of the new. I have no memory of shiny malls or enormous skyscrapers, but I do remember the smoke and the smell coming from that makeshift street barbecue. Yangrou chuan, or lamb skewers, are a quintessential Beijing favorite—a favorite among many lamb-loving Northern Chinese, in fact. Spicy, crispy, fatty lamb on a stick. That’s basically the gist of it....
Where I First Encountered Black Pepper Chicken I admittedly didn’t grow up with black pepper chicken. For me, it’s been a relatively recent discovery. You know how you generally have your go-to’s on a Chinese takeout menu and tend to glaze over everything else? That’s me—Justin and I have a pretty dependable order at our local takeout place: a couple egg rolls (I can never resist), beef and broccoli, a large wonton soup (I have to do a recipe for the big rubbery—for lack of a better word—Chinese takeout wontons....
Posted Dec 16, 2022, Updated Feb 15, 2024 My favorite bakery in my hometown made the best butter cookies. It closed recently after over 50 years in business, and I couldn’t bear the thought of never enjoying my favorite treats again. So, I re-created their famous butter cookies and nailed it with this recipe. These butter cookies literally melt in your mouth. They are flavored with vanilla and almond extracts for the authentic bakery taste....
