Banana Bread

For Christmas this year, I asked for a KitchenAid! And I got one! Yay! We are starting to bake more. I generally bake cookies but decided to try bread as its a little less fatty. Here is a simple banana bread recipe. Enjoy and Merry Christmas!

Gooey Butter Cookies

I have actually been baking these cookies for a couple years now. They are one of my husband's favorites and super easy! My friend from medical school brought some for our study sessions and I fell in love with them. 

Cold Oats

This cold breakfast is not only healthy but also fills you up. The chia seed pudding doesn't have any carbohydrates but this does so it will have you full for a longer period of time. I like this because you can customize it however you like. 

Shanghai Style Sliced Bean Curd

When I lived in Sacramento, we went to this Shanghai restaurant that served this sliced bean curd appetizer. I fell in love with it and actually went there a couple times basically to have this dish. We wanted to make it at home especially since we don't live in Sacramento any more. Unfortunately, it was difficult to capture the noodles in a better light. 

Garlic Parmesan Roasted Shrimp

It has been a bit since I have posted. Since my last post, I have moved down from Sacramento to the Bay Area to start my new job soon. Now, every other night I am in charge of dinner. I don't really cook a lot of meat but my husband wants some kind of protein tonight for dinner. I love shrimp so I made this. I wanted to make something light and simple. This is similar to another dish (baked garlic shrimp) I really like but this is a bit less greasy.

Vanilla- Almond Chia Seed Pudding

My husband and I are really into fitness and being healthy. He has been buying chia seeds which he sprinkles on his salads, fish, etc. One of my attendings, eats chia seed pudding every morning. Since we have chia seeds I decided to try it for myself. It is riduclously easy and actually quite tasty. 

Peanut Butter Blossoms

Happy 2018! I have been wanting to make these cookies for a while! I made them for my team and for a dinner party I went to.
