Vegan Corn Chowder
Creamed corn was a staple in our pantry growing up. My mom loved to make corn chowder out of it, or use it as a sauce for chicken, vegetables or rice. I remember when I tried to go vegetarian in high school, my mom would just feed me creamed corn. It’s funny looking back to those days and remembering how limiting I thought not eating meat was.

Preparing for Chinese New Year
As a Canadian-born Chinese American, the turn of the year is always elongated by Chinese New Year festivities as our new years follows the traditional lunar calendar and takes place usually weeks after the first of January. My childhood memories of this special holiday are marked with large family gatherings over traditional foods, receiving and giving oranges and tangerines as signs of goodluck and prosperity, receiving "lucky money" in little red envelopes to put under my mattress for goodluck, attending and participating in Chinese New Year festivals which include watching lion dances, martial arts and dance performances, plays about Chinese history and mythology, and burning incense in honor of our ancestors, amongst other things.
