Perfect for lunch served alongside tomato soup or with a smear of tomato jam. They are great for game day or movie night. Grilled cheese with bacon is a fancy, filling and flavorful take on a family favorite! How to Make Bacon Grilled Cheese Start with a bread thick enough to hold the melted cheese and heavy enough so it won’t fall apart. Grilled cheese with bacon (and tomato should you choose) needs hearty bread....
Posted Oct 19, 2022, Updated Nov 11, 2024 With 6 kids, you can imagine we eat a lot of mac and cheese around here (a lot of mac & cheese). These baked mac and cheese cups are a fun dish to serve to a crowd. We have our favorite recipe for 15-minute homemade mac and cheese that we make all the time to replace boxed varieties, as well as crock pot mac and cheese which feeds a crowd....
I figured that it would be an extremely difficult dish to make, considering the complexity of the flavors it presented. But besides a few specialty ingredients, which can be sourced from most Asian grocers, it’s actually pretty dead simple to make. It starts with a spice paste–whizzed up in a food processor or blender. Then the beef is added to the pot, along with the coconut milk and a few other ingredients....
As much as we love the main event, I think we love leftovers even more. Below are our favorite leftover ham recipes. What To Do With Leftover Ham My family prefers glazed ham to turkey, and I love that it’s so easy to make. It takes very little prep work (especially if you cook a spiral ham or cook it in the air fryer). But one of the best parts of a big meal (like a baked ham dinner) is the leftovers....
Pie is one of my husband’s favorite desserts and unfortunately I don’t really like pie… unless we are talkin’ ice cream, cheesecake, or brownie pie. It’s been tough on my pie-loving husband but lucky for him I’ve come to like blueberry pie. I serve it with ice cream so that’s probably why I like it so much but the filling is pretty good too. Pie really isn’t that difficult to make but it does take some time, creates lots of dirty bowls, and makes a big mess on my counters....
Today, we’re sharing restaurant tips and tricks to make a delicious and simple bok choy stir-fry at home. It really is a great all-purpose side for any kind of meal! (It’s also vegan!) We serve it with both Chinese dishes as well as non-Chinese recipes that need an infusion of veggies. It’s one of the easiest recipes we have on the blog, once you learn a few basics that make your stir-fried veggies stand out!...
A Tasty, Simple Dish Though, as I typed out the Chinese characters for this dish, I was surprised to see that 肉沫茄子 (rou mo qie zi) auto-populated as one of the top options! I’m surprised that this Braised Eggplant with Minced Pork is that popular, but it’s no wonder, as it’s a tasty, simple dish. A big reason why this dish is so simple is the use of ground meat. No slicing and dicing, and no messy cutting board or knife to wash!...

Posted Nov 27, 2023, Updated Dec 15, 2023 Brownies are my all time favorite dessert. So I took my passion for rich and fudgy brownies to make the best homemade brownie mix ever. In my opinion, brownies have to be supremely fudgy (if I wanted chocolate cake, I’d make it). In order to achieve the perfect texture with this brownie mix recipe – semisweet chocolate is added to the mix and pulsed in the blender until a fine powder forms....
Posted Oct 29, 2023, Updated Sep 30, 2024 Candied yams are a traditional southern side dish, and an essential component of Thanksgiving dinner. This is the very best candied yams recipe you’ll ever eat! Sweet potatoes (yams) are peeled & sliced, then cooked to perfection in a delicious sauce that isn’t overly sweet (also try these au gratin potatoes)! With notes of citrus, maple syrup and rich fall spices, this dish will become a family tradition for the holidays....
Health Benefits of Cantonese Soups For Cantonese people, soups are wonderous tonics. There are soups for growing kids, soups for elders to stay strong, soups to curb dryness in the fall and winter, soups to expel dampness, soups to strengthen the lungs––the list goes on! These different mixtures of protein, fruits, vegetables, herbs, dried seeds, and grains can be simple or complex. It’s becoming a diminishing art. Even I wish I had an expert who could teach me the old ways!...
While the recipe for Shanghai Braised Pork Belly is admired by many, I think it’s time to expand upon it. Many of you have inquired about adding aromatics like scallions, ginger, garlic, and spices like star anise. I resisted a bit, because I really like the traditional flavors of Shanghai-style pork belly. It’s like vanilla ice cream––understated, but it really hits the spot. Chairman Mao’s Red Braised Pork Belly is kind of like the rocky road to Shanghai-style Pork Belly’s vanilla....
Cannelloni pasta tubes are stuffed with a rich and flavorful ricotta filling, then covered in marinara and a generous topping of mozzarella! What Exactly is Cannelloni? Cannelloni is a stuffed pasta dish (not to be confused with cannoli, which is a sweet dessert). Cannelloni shells can be found in most grocery stores or you can buy it online. You can substitute jumbo shells or manicotti shells (which are shorter tubes and have ridges)....
This is one of my favorite lunch meals! It takes just a few minutes to make and tastes amazing!

Broccoli florets are tossed in an easy cheese sauce, sprinkled with a buttery cracker topping, and baked until browned and bubbly! What You’ll Need For This Broccoli Casserole Broccoli: You can use either fresh or frozen broccoli florets. Fresh has a more tender, crisp texture, while frozen will make a softer casserole. Flour/Butter: These create a roux that will thicken the sauce. Cheese: I use sharp cheddar cheese and parmesan cheese for the best flavor....
In this post, I have shared a complete recipe to turn this juicy chicken patty into a juicy and flavorful chicken burger with burger sauce and caramelized onions. I posted this recipe on my Instagram and this recipe has already earned amazing feedback. This recipe is inspired by a friend who makes simply amazing burgers and loves to host a party. He does it with simple salt and pepper beef patties....
A Revelation at a Restaurant The first time we tried chicken flavored rice was at a Malaysian restaurant in New Jersey. Under the side dishes, we saw, “plain rice, coconut rice, or chicken rice.” We had tried the first two, but not the third. We immediately ordered it. And it was a revelation! The rice had a slight oily sheen, saltiness, a mild chicken flavor, and an aroma of ginger, scallion, and garlic....
Tender chicken breasts are simmered in seasoned broth with beans and veggies and then topped with fried tortilla strips and avocado slices for an easy anytime meal. What You’ll Need To Make Chicken Tortilla Soup Chicken: I use boneless skinless chicken breasts for this soup—they do not need to be pre-cooked or browned. You can replace it with chicken thighs or leftover rotisserie chicken (see recipe notes). Frozen chicken can also be used; just allow more time for cooking....
You go to a big restaurant in Chinatown, sit at a table of 10-12 people, and eat a 10 to 12 course meal that usually includes things like a cold appetizer platter, shrimp, lobster, roasted chicken or duck, and a whole steamed fish. The order is fairly predictable, but the dishes can vary. Maybe you get the chicken instead of the duck. Maybe it’s abalone instead of shrimp. You might get an extra dish of steak thrown in, and then it’s a real party....
Adding a Little Richness Traditionally, salted duck eggs are served with rice porridge (congee) for breakfast. But the real treat for many is the yolk—salted duck egg yolks are often used in mooncakes, pastries, and rice dumplings (zongzi). They add extra richness, saltiness, and decadence to any dish, making them a real favorite for restaurant chefs. In recent years, chefs have started integrating salted duck egg yolks as coatings for shredded potatoes, fried pumpkin, shrimp, and crab....
