Cream of Mushroom Soup

The first time I had Cream of Mushroom Soup was in the college dining commons my sophomore year. Every since that day I would jump with joy whenever I see it on the menu.

Homefries

I love breakfast food and whenever I am at a breakfast or brunch place I always have to order an entree that comes with home fries!

Carrot Fried Rice

Probably the most famous Chinese dish. If there is a lot of left over rice, then there will be fried rice the next day! Some people say fried rice is the best when it is made with day old rice.

Congee with Chicken and Spring Onions

There is this French Vietnamese place that gives out a small bowl of complementary chicken congee when you eat there. It is so good. I want to go back just because of the chicken congee.

Chocolate Chip Pancakes

My boyfriend does not have honey or syrup but I told him I would make him pancakes so we used some chocolate chips he had left over.

Congee with Shrimp and Spring Onions

Congee is best when feeling under the weather or the weather is unpleasant.

Names for congee are as varied as the style of its preparation. Despite its many variations it can be recognised by its thick texture. It can be considered as a porridge or thick soup.

Rice Pudding

During one of my lunch breaks I walked pass this rice pudding shop called Loving Cup. I went in and had some. I ordered too much so I got tired of it pretty fast but it sparked my interest in making my own. I found this recipe in a book while browsing at Borders.

Guacamole

I was once at a party where they had Mexican food. Burritos with chips and dip. One of the dips were "guacamole." The reason for the quotations is because it was just mashed up avocados. What exactly is guacamole?
Wikipedia definition: Guacamole is an avocado-based dip that originated in Mexico.[1] It is traditionally made by mashing ripe avocados with a molcajete (mortar and pestle) with salt. Some recipes call for limited tomato, onion, garlic, lime juice or lemon juice, and/or seasonings.

Stir Fry Vegetables with Oyster Sauce

Have you noticed that Asians tend to love veggies more than Americans? That is because we know how to cook it! This is usually the token veggie dish when eating dinner at an Asian restaurant when doing family style.

Old Fashion Pancakes

Who doesn't love pancakes? It is mother's day and I asked what my mom what she wanted. She asked me to make her pancakes. Easy!

White Wine Mussels

The key dish of our lunch was mussels. The first meal my boyfriend ever cooked for me were mussels and I loved them so much. We have been having mussels at restaurants and he decided to make some for me the next time I visited.

Taiwanese Cucumber Salad

I went to visit my boyfriend in South Bay. We eat out a lot so we decided cook lunch at home. He is an amazing cook. We needed some greens to go with our meal so he made this.
