Bok choy is a type of Chinese cabbage that has been used in China since the 5th century, but now you can find it in many places in the world like Britain, the Philippines, and North America. While it comes from the brassica family of greens, it does somewhat look like mustard greens, but without the bitter flavor. Instead, bok choy has a milder, slightly peppery flavor. I’ve eaten bok choy at many Chinese restaurants, specifically dim sum based Capital Seafood, but these days you can also find it in many American based restaurants....

It’s real crowd pleaser not only for Thanksgiving and Christmas but during the summer months too like on 4th of July!...
What is udon? These thick udon noodles from scratch are made of all-purpose wheat flour, hot water, salt, and tapioca starch. As a kid, I ate lots of store-bought refrigerated udon packs with my parents and we added our own toppings to them.

Some popular udon dishes are tempura udon (udon in a simple broth with vegetable and/or shrimp tempura), nikutama udon (udon in a sweet broth with beef and a soft boiled egg), and yaki udon (a soy sauce-based, stir-fried udon with vegetables and meat)....
Where to buy oysters & how to select them When picking oysters, you want to make sure you buy them from a reputable seafood company or source. I like to buy my oysters from stores like Santa Monica Seafood or Santa Barbara Fish Market. I have also found my favorite Kumamoto oysters at Seafood City. When you are choosing oysters at the grocery store or local seafood company, make sure all the oyster shells are CLOSED (this means they’re still alive)....
They have a buttery graham cracker crust and a creamy, ultra-smooth lemon cheesecake filling. And quite possibly the best part is my homemade lemon curd gets swirled into the cheesecake prior to baking. I l also love topping each slice with a little more curd when serving to take them to the next level! Cheesecake is one of those desserts that gets a bad rap for being super challenging to make....

I’m going to be honest with you, I’ve never been a fan of sweet potatoes made with marshmallows! Call me crazy but I just never could get on board with the marshmallows and sweet potato combination. That’s why I made these roasted sweet potatoes and sweetened them up a bit with honey. They caramelize so well in the oven they taste like pieces of candy! Sweet potatoes are a staple of many holiday dishes which is great because they are packed with nutrients....
Now as a busy working mom, I understand why my mom loved to make it. It’s ridiculously easy to make, made with a sloppy joe meat sauce that utilizes pantry staples and if you’re in a pinch you can even cook the potatoes in the microwave on a microwave safe plate (as opposed to the oven!). I bulked up the sloppy joe sauce with julienned zucchini and lots of tri-color coleslaw....
