They both wanted to have the ceremony and dinner outside in the front and side yard for the 20 family members in attendance. they are very cute together and … Continue reading Pork Belly Steamed Buns
I am going to share this recipe with you that I originally posted about 5 years ago. Yeah I know I can’t believe I have been writing a weekly blog for about 6 years now.

Who would ever think that they would be taken down a few pegs by a hard boiled egg? If I were ever on Iron Chef or Chopped and the secret ingredient was an egg that you had to have at least one be hardboiled in some form or fashion per dish. I would be chopped first round and it would be the biggest Iron Chef … Continue reading My nemesis – the hard boiled egg white chocolate chip craisin cookies
