RECIPE: ASIAN SLIDERS

in , , , ,
i made sliders based on my family's potsticker filling recipe because i am completely dumpling-ed out in this moment {the past few weeks my hands have formed probably hundreds of dumplings} but i somehow can't get past the delightful combination of fresh ginger and green onions all together in meaty solidarity.

the soft steamed buns provide a wonderful vehicle for these puppies, but they are also great served on a bed of sesame saucy brussels sprouts.

-yeh! 

VALENTINE'S DAY PREP

in , ,
around these parts i am ferociously preparing for valentine's day via making my annual almond cake, drinking red velvet tea, making little almond paste bonbons, hyperlinking in pink, and practicing my heart-shaped eggs so that they may be flawless and unbroken for eggboy. {because you can't give your sig other a broken heart on valentine's day, even if it is just in the form of a broken yolk.}

i simply can't wait for valentine's day. it is one of my most favorite days of the year.

-yay!! yipee!!!!

ONCE UPON A BIG GREEN BREAKFAST

in ,
eggboy and i recently decided to stop distinguishing between breakfast vegetables {like hash browns and bagel accoutrements} and dinner vegetables {everything else, emphasis on the greens} and with the risk of sounding preachy, it is great and everyone should do it. i love starting my day off with a handful of greens topped with an egg. it makes me feel all energy-ish and it gives me healthy points in the bank so i don't feel as bad when i come home after a long day and only want cheese for dinner.

a few days ago we added turkey bacon as a side and then pan fried some shallots in the bacon fat {inspired by this recipe}. and then i somehow captured the steam off of it in a photo eggboy thinks is badass and makes him look like a rapper. 

happy morning to you!

-yeh!
