What makes these cookies fun and different is folding in fresh blueberries, offering bursts of juicy blueberries in every bite. It reminds me of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich but in cookie form! You can also fold in chocolate chips for a more classic cookie combination. Whether you enjoy them with a glass of milk, a cup of coffee, or on their own, they will satisfy your sweet tooth while offering some wholesome ingredients....
In this recipe, I’ll show you how to make thịt ba rọi, or seasoned pork belly, for Vietnamese bánh mì. At sandwich shops you usually won’t find pork belly as an option. They’ll use other cuts simply to reduce costs. One difference between this recipe and xa xiu/char siu is the latter would call for pork shoulder and barbecuing. Since we’re going through the effort of making this at home we’re going to use fattier, tastier pork belly!...
Sinigang na baboy, or pork sinigang, is one of the most popular dishes in Filipino cuisine and its slightly sour flavor makes it stand out and very memorable. While many recipes online call for using the famous Mamacita’s or Knorr premade sinigang packets, I chose to make my own tamarind paste out of fresh fruit! Background Sinigang in Tagalog means “stewed dish” and is indigenous to the Philippines. Traditionally speaking, there are a variety of different ingredients added to the soup, like tomatoes, finger chiles, eggplants, kang kong (or water spinach), okra, string beans, and gabi (or taro)....
It combines the richness of eggs and cheese with the fresh spinach, all encased in a flaky, buttery crust. The crust is pre-baked to achieve a nice crisp texture and it’s the perfect vessel for the quiche’s filling. And before I get any further, you can also purchase a good quality pre-made pie crust to streamline the process of making this quiche. Just be sure to check the package of your store-bought crust to see if you need to bake it first....
I like how salmon steaks cook more evenly on a pan than regular filets since you don’t have the really thin part of salmon cooking for as long as the thick parts. Where to buy salmon steaks Sometimes, buying salmon steaks can be tricky. I like to use InstaCart to see which stores generally stock salmon steaks before I spend hours trying to find them in different grocery stores. I’ve had good luck getting them at my local H-Mart or other Asian markets for about $10....
My grandmother was a child raising machine. As if raising nine of her own kids wasn’t enough of a challenge, she had her hands in raising almost all of the grand-kids too. Between cleaning up our messes and playing referee to our disputes, it seemed like she never skipped a beat in the kitchen. In the very rare cases something wasn’t bubbling on the stove, grandma sometimes fed us a pulverized mix of roasted sesame seeds and salt (muối mè) over rice....

They all have the same concept but each is made a little differently....

I consulted my favorite Vietnamese cook–Mom–on how to make bún bò Huế. And to find out subleties that make BBH authentic. I promise you’ll love this version! Not as popular as phở….yet? Phở has claimed some serious territory here and has grown popular quickly. According to data from Google, since 2004 compared to March 2021, phở has grown in popularity by 830%, which is an amazing gain. Comparatively, for the previous 12 months starting March 2021, bún bò Huế is much less popular at a measly 1....

Types of fish that are great grilled Some of my favorite places to eat grilled fish are California Fish Grill and my favorite Thai restaurant in Orange County, Thai Nakorn....
Why make homemade boba? While I’ve been to plenty of boba cafes in the past 20 years, I’ve found it’s pretty rare to find homemade boba from scratch at these cafes. Recently, OneZo (shops in California, New York and Massachusetts) made headlines making their boba in-store and I started to research making boba at home because I wanted to know exactly what I was consuming. After buying about 13 varieties of premade boba from different stores and online boba shops online, I saw that many of these boba pearls were made with many types of ingredients that I didn’t recognize....
I’ll take any excuse to eat a cozy soup especially if the word “taco” is involved. Plus, I cannot resist all of the delicious toppings. The sour cream, shredded cheese, avocado, tortilla chips, cilantro, squeeze of lime, etc. It’s all TOO good. This post has been sponsored by Sprouts. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

These donuts were popularized in Japan from Mister Donut and known as “pon de ring,” whose donuts are famous for their bubble-ring shape....
You might be surprised to know that eating noodles is a part of many celebratory events in Filipino and Filipino American culture–just like other Asian cultures. Growing up, I ate pancit palabok for birthdays, holidays, and especially on New Years as a way to wish for a long life. Pancit’s background Noodles were introduced to the Philippines by Chinese migrants and the word “pancit,” which refers to the actual noodles and the dishes themselves, comes from the Hokkien word “pian e sit” (meaning dish that is conveniently cooked)....
You know I love cookies. And there are a lot of cookies here on Kroll’s Korner. But most of my cookie recipes are thick, big cookies with a more cake-y texture. (Like these Brookies Cookies and these banana bread cookies!) I’ve felt there are not enough thin (dare I say “normal sized”) cookies being represented on my site. So, I’m changing that for all of you thin and chewy cookie lovers!...
Why would you salt-cure egg yolks? If you’re wondering why people would ever want to salt-cure egg yolks, in short, it’s just another method of preserving eggs and enhancing their flavor profile. Salt-cured eggs are basically dried egg yolk. While there is no exact origin for salt-cured egg yolks, records mention this savory fermented ingredient was used in ancient China during the 5th century. They specifically used duck eggs, but for this recipe we used chicken eggs....
Inspo for this recipe came from Terri Fry @donetoatee. I love sweet potato, and I love guac…it beats me as to why I have never thought of this myself! Since I am still blogging for the Bar Method Fresno I made these for this weeks theme “Healthy BBQ idea” & also because Memorial Day Weekend is approaching. I am really burnt out on macaroni salad and all of those high fat sides… If you are too, try making these for your guests and see what they think!...
