Welcome back to the best blog ever!

Unsurprisingly, one of the most popular worldwide cuisine is Thai food… so today, I am exploring the ingredients and history of the Thai Fried Rice.

The past week has been one of the most heart heavy, stressful weeks in my 23 years of living. As a black woman, today's news stories have continued to affect me mentally in negative ways as more and more information is brought to light on the current police state we seem to be living in.

You make my dreams crumb true. We started this year with an increased focus on fitness and healthy eating. We like to splurge during the holidays and our Twinspirational parties. We balance these events out with a keto and gluten-free diet during the week. Smart snacking helps us stay on track and one of our favorite snacks is Lenny & Larry’s Keto Cookie.™ We are excited to share Lenny & Larry’s Keto Cookie with you.

Kettle down everyone! Today, we will give you some mo-tea-vation to make the most out of social distancing. We partnered with Kate Aspen to host a chic party featuring the Tea Time Whimsy collection. We treated our family to homemade tea sandwiches as well as freshly baked pastries and macarons. We are excited to share our creativi-tea with you.

Banana milk tea is delicious, sweet and fragrant

Once upon a time, we humans ate food to sustain ourselves. You see, we are pretty amazing. We have sophisticated systems to enable us to perform our most essential task; find food for fuel. Our taste abilities have been shaped by the ecological niches our evolutionary ancestors occupied and by the nutrients they sought. They helped us to identify nutrients to survive.

Scintillating chandeliers, crimson draperies, hundreds of table settings arranged for local and global elite: the Egyptian Hall of the Mansion House was a grandeur entertaining space in Victorian London. Despite its name, the hall was not Egyptian-inspired, but rather it “was built upon Lord Burlington’s plans, who gathered his ideas of such Hall from a description by Vitruvius.” The pillars of the Roman architecture stood amongst myriad banquets throughout the century, displaying food from kitchens with a fireplace so extensive it could roast a huge ox or “fifty or sixty fowls or ducks” simultaneously. At the centrepiece of this grandiose, glittery space of consumption was, of course, food.

Besides it being fun to say, Babka is one of the best things ever invented. Most people think of inventions from the 1800's and their mind goes to the cotton gin, or light bulbs. And while Eli Whitney and Thomas Edison do deserve their accolades, the true unsung hero of the 1800's-- the housewives!!

Certainly not me, as over the years I have mastered a recipe that still gets me excited thinking of it. Looking for a spicy quick fix, long before the hunger pangs give you a beating, look no further. Our goal is to make spicy noodles garnished with butter, prawns, gizzard and mixed vegetables.

I don't know a lot about baking and I've never made donuts myself, but I'd say I'm a pretty good judge of a good donut. Let's be honest, it's not that hard to be. What is hard is to score higher on my personal donut meter than a Marvel's Market donut.

You ever been to a place owned or run by a celebrity? Like the Wahlburgers and their famous pretty awesome burgers?

Anthony Bourdain lived many lives in his too-brief 61 years on this planet.

Like Florine Mark before her, Valerie Bertinelli is on my list. It's an exclusive list of two people—well, it used to be three but Kesha has redeemed herself in my eyes. Also like Florine, Valerie has no idea who I am and doesn't care that I'm unhappy with her.

Now, you may have heard of kimchi when going out to KBBQ with some co-workers or friends. But what exactly is kimchi? As a Korean-American, I've been eating kimchi, mother's homemade kimchi, all my existing life. Eating kimchi as a banchan (반찬 / side-dish), within a main dish or in a stew (김치찌개).

Parents don’t have it easy right now. In addition to homeschooling and keeping kids entertained while you juggle work and household chores, you also have to think about what to feed your family, day after day.

Have you ever wonder what kind of Food or snacks you could make out of chickpeas, that actually doesn't taste gross. Here are some simple and delicious recipe you can try at the comfort of your own home.

Cooking is something I more than enjoy. It's part of my self care, great way to relax and has played an immense part in healing from the narcissistic abuse I have experienced. It's something me and my two children enjoy.

My first attempt at baking without recipe an going just off of feeling went so-so, half winning. I consider it a win still, as we did eat both the brownie and banana bread and were quite happy, even if it was not the tastiest of the tasty or mushiest of the mushy. I would have loved to see some more movement in the brownie and less density in the banana bread, but live and learn. I had some sort of basic feeling for what needs to go in them, and especially considering I had some very specific requirements to make it work, all in all I was pretty pleased with myself. But, as they say in Sweden, skam den som ger sig! Roughly translated to; shame on the person who gives up.

A few weeks ago a meme or photo or whatever you want to call it started circulating around social media. This is nothing new, there is some new viral something that makes it way into our social media bubbles just about every day, but this one was different. This one involved food, was fairly simple and was something that I knew both myself and my other half would enjoy.

Imagine this. You're an American kid in the mid-2000's, halfway through your second grade year. You were looking forward to a weekend of scooter-ing around your local cul-de-sac but tragically, a cold has left you bedridden and woebegone. You stare out your bedroom window, longing to join your neighbors outside. But alas! You have a headache, a slight fever and a sore throat. You may as well be dead.

There are many different ways to make a cup of tea. What on the surface looks like a simple set of instructions has spawned a plethora of different styles and preferences. You can have whole milk, skimmed milk, oat milk, no milk, 1 sugar, 2 sugars, 100 sugars, or none, and so much more. Indeed many people have many differing tastes when it comes to preparing tea, but there is one particular method, unlike the others, that is universally frowned upon. It is considered taboo, a strict no-no. This method would only be found in the forbidden section of the Hogwarts library.

Let’s get one thing straight: I don’t like coffee.

Welcome back to the best blog ever!

Carrots are a standout amongst the most generally utilized and delighted in vegetables on the planet, incompletely on the grounds that they develop moderately effortlessly and are extremely adaptable in various dishes and social cooking styles. They are logically grouped as Daucus carota and sorted as a root vegetable. Carrots come in various hues, for example, orange, purple, white, yellow, and red. The taproot of the carrot is the piece of the vegetable most regularly eaten, despite the fact that the greens are as yet gainful in servings of mixed greens and different structures.

Life, as we say, is precious but if proper care is not taken and ingredient needed by the body is not provided you might end up losing your life. A lot of people are calling to ask about the natural remedy of some illness. From the creation of things, plants have been useful to mankind. In the ancient era, most of the people solemnly depend on plants as an important source of treatment both for chronic and acute diseases. For instance, one woman called explaining bitterly that she was having irregular menstruation. She has been to hospital but yet no good result. We gave her this same advice.

Scintillating chandeliers, crimson draperies, hundreds of table settings arranged for local and global elite: the Egyptian Hall of the Mansion House was a grandeur entertaining space in Victorian London.

It sort of feels like a dream sometimes, doesn't it? When you picture the wrapper of a chocolate from memories past, and almost taste the cocoa on the tip of your tongue? Once you're engulfed in those old school flavours – you stop to question the origins of the product, only to realise that it actually hasn't been around for a while, and the chances of acquiring one are near impossible.

I absolutely did NOT eat this traditional St. Patrick's Day meal growing up. I was a picky eater and went through a couple years as a vegetarian. My grandmother and grandfather frequently ate out and ordered this. After I learned to drive, my grandmother and I went out to eat and she indulged in Irish coffee with her lunch, but I did not fully appreciate this food until my late teen years. Now I love it! My son's birthday falls a couple days before this favorite Irish Holiday of mine and I have always tried to buy all the cool Irish things I could! Between his birthday and until the end of May, I love my Irish and Mardi Gras themed party stuff! I actually have my birthday and my other sons birthday in May, so I just spend a lot of time between March first and May planning, buying, and eating! I can be totally honest about myself...I'm a foodie! In the worst sense. This love includes anything Mediterranean, South American, French, Italian, desserts from anywhere in the world, American Chinese is one of our favorites and they keep coming up with new dishes all the time! I don't think I could handle the traditional Chinese or Japanese foods. I tried Sushi as a child, since one of my babysitters was Japanese, and I still like to try new foods. But if something new is too unusual, I will try anything vegan, stick with rice, and I won't try anything with fish or meat...I'm picky still. But of course, then there is this traditional Irish meal I love every year!

Summer is just around the corner and that means BBQ season will be in full swing. Plenty of hot dogs will be rolling on the grill, ready to be stuffed in a bun. Brats will be perfectly cooked so sauerkraut can be placed on top to enhance the flavor. Burgers will be piled high with cheese to delight any BBQ enthusiastic. Pork chops will be fully seasoned and steak will be so tender it melts in the mouth. All of these are things to look forward to this summer.

I was first introduced to mangoes through a former associate and their family. When we lived together, I fell in love with their Caribbean food culture.

When I first heard about pokeweed, it was referred to as "polk salad". My neighbor brought knowledge to me about the leafy green.

Bread is not something I should be consuming on a daily basis given my health and weight loss goals, however, I found a sure-fire healthier way to enjoy it so that it doesn't interfere. Sprouted grain bread was introduced to me through Food Babe, Vani Hari (an activist), and she describes it as a vegetable because it's basically a plant that grows from a grain when soaked in water. That plant is then ground into bread. This is supposed to be the healthiest type of bread to consume because it doesn't give you the insulin spike that refined flour doughs do, even the rich, darkened ones, due to the breakdown of starch that occurs during the process. Thus, it doesn't make you gain. Angelic Bakehouse, Food for Life, and Dave's Killer Bread are convenient ones to purchase at stores. From my experience, Dave's Killer Bread tastes better than the knockoff healthy brands like Pepperidge Farm. I haven't yet tried Angelic Bakehouse, but Food for Life offers a variety of types of bread like English muffins and tortillas. Their Ezekiel Bread has to be kept frozen and does come in a cinnamon raisin version. At any case, I was grateful to come across Vani's book the Food Babe Way that highlights so many flaws in our American food system and methods to navigate them and overcome our greatest health concerns. It made me a more informed eater.

This is a really easy to make desert with just couple of basic ingredients. This is an authentic Indian desert and you can make it better by adding more things but the basic recipe is super Yum too.

Having your parents buy you a Happy Meal at McDonald’s was easily one of the best things when you were a kid. Being able to open that box and see what toy was inside was just like Christmas morning. Happy Meals have existed at the iconic fast food joint since 1979 and have been making kids happy ever since. The Happy Meal toys are sometimes a collaboration with another industry (movie based toys for example), or sometimes just an original McDonald’s creation. The selection of toys is always changing and some are a hit among kids while others are well, not so great. Here are the top 10 saddest McDonald’s Happy Meal toys ever sold.

As Noma, Copenhagen’s world class locavore restaurant opens its doors this month for a casual outdoor picnic- experience, founder and executive chef Rene Redzepi has replaced his signature sea urchins in slivers of hazelnut and lobster and nasturtium with soft custard of egg yolk in a nest of potatoes with essence of rose petals with a $15 burger. But as former New York Times journalist and Redzepi disciple Jeff Gordinier tells me in my Cooking the Books podcast, he will bring a realm of flavour most of us have never tasted.

I keep a running list of the places I would travel to. Some dream of historical monuments and natural landscapes.

I’m one of the lucky ones who could call Alexandria Old Town home at some point in my life. It’s been a bit less than a year since we moved more south , just about 40 minutes further down Virginia and there’s not a day that I don’t miss Alexandria.

For my birthday this year, we decided to hit the food-focused city of Madrid. There is a restaurant in every corner of this city and you will be spoilt for choice here.

Making the choice to go vegan can be a beautiful thing, but it can also be a little tough to start. Once you begin, one of your first questions are, “what do I cook?” or “where do I begin?”. Don’t worry love I got you! Follow me on throughout this mini series to get started and learn how to make some quick and easy vegan meals.

As a kid I hated beans because I was under the impression that all beans tasted like a can of baked beans without actually trying any other bean products. I was one of those baked beans haters and to be honest I still find that I have to add sausage and cheese to canned baked beans just to stomach the idea of eating them. This being said after living with vegans and vegetarians and eating food that can be eaten by all in the household I discovered a love for beans. While I am not vegan or veggie it’s still good to have those cooking skills to cater for your vegan or vegetarian guests and subsituting meat for other items like beans, mushrooms and pulses can be a great way to reduce your meat consumption for ethical reasons and can also save you money (meat can be expensive). These are my top 5 favourite beans for use in cooking.
