This recipe is a family recipe. I may be biased, but I truly think they are literally the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever tasted! Also, this recipe makes a boatload of them, making it great for gifting or making a cookie sheet cake!
Read MoreWelcome back! This year’s edition of gingerbread house making went much much better than last year’s. I’ve included some pictures to #humblebrag. (It’s still super simple, but I’m proud nonetheless.) But, this post actually isn’t about the house, but rather the extra cookie dough! Last year, I made sandwich cookies with the extra dough (really as just a way to get the massive amounts of extra gingerbread out of my apartment - but they seemed to actually go over really well!). Here’s a review of my gingerbread recipe (details on my gingerbread house post). If you want to just jump straight to the cookie sandwich part, go to step 7 (where we start cutting circles).
Read MoreSpring Rolls are a simple meal that I like to make. I must admit that it is somewhat time consuming to prep all the ingredients, but the delicious and refreshing outcome with plenty of easy leftovers makes it very worth it. Especially when you consider how expensive these little packages of goodness can be at a restaurant, easily selling for 2-3 dollars a piece.
Read MoreA La Disney’s Mulan, here’s a recipe for Chicken & Rice Porridge (with a delicious, optional side of bacon!).
So, I have to shout out my boyfriend for this because although this is a common meal for us (adapted from Vietnamese Chao Ga), he suggested a date where we made it together and watched a popular Disney movie where it was served, Mulan!

Read MoreI'll cut to the chase, here are some pictures and thoughts on the Food and Wine Festival food (which we like less than the festival of holidays - but still enjoyed!).
Read MoreFor those of you out there that don't know what the Food and Wine Festival is, I'll tell you :). The tradition started out small, with only two kiosks in DCA, in 2006. It ran through 2010 until it stopped and returned in full swing in 2016. Since 2016, it's been getting bigger and better! This year, there will be 13 kiosks making up the primary food and wine sales, along with a sit down menu at the Paradise Grill Area, and a Festival Beer Garden. However, it's so much more than that. There are opportunities to take wine tasting seminars, watch celebrity chefs at work, attend food educations, schedule special dinners, attend culinary demonstrations, listen to live music, and more.
Read MoreThese are delicious and make a perfect Valentine's day treat. Happy Valentine's Day!
Note: I used too much butter (this recipe is updated has accounted for that). However, if you happen do the same, the cup form will not hold. FEAR NOT – just reform the cups using a spoon in the pan after the first 10 minutes and then keep an eye on the crusts until they are thoroughly darkened/crunchy.
