Macaroni And Cheese

I tried a baked mac n cheese recipe before and that turned out disastrous so I decided to give a no-bake mac n cheese recipe. Turned out tasty!

Steamed Mussels with Tomato-and-Garlic Broth

Me: Do you guys have mussels?
Guy behind the seafood counter: Why yes we do. (flex) No we don't today. Come back tomorrow.

We ended up going to another store.

Snicker Doodles

I didn't discover Snicker Doodles until my sophomore year in college when my roommate exposed me to them. They are pretty much sugar cookies with a sugar and cinnamon coating.

Nian Gao

One popular dessert eaten during Chinese New Years is Nian Gao (年糕). One of the reasons it's eaten during this time is because the words "nian gao (粘糕)", meaning "sticky cake," sounds just like the words 年高, which means something along the lines of "growing taller every year." Similar to "a pinch to grow an inch," this is just used to wish the person good health in the new year. (wikihow)

Simple, and healthier than french fries and tastier than just plain baking a potato.

Fried Rice with Dried Scallops and Broccoli Stems

Also known as the healthy man fried rice. Well I refer to it as that. My uncle who has high cholesterol orders this whenever we go out to dinner.
