Yikes! Before blueberry season ends, make this Blueberry Cornmeal Tart. From Alison Roman’s Sweet Enough, an easy, absolutely delicious way to take advantage of fresh blueberries. But before we get into the recipe and my notes…I need to address the elephant in the room. Yes at one time I was ready to burn my Alison …
One of my favorite recipes is Kristina Cho’s Honey Sesame Tofu Puffs. She included this easy and delicious recipe in her newsletter several months ago and has been on our Meatless Mondays rotation several times. After finding Tofu Puffs in the shape of stars (so cute!) at Ranch 99, I bought a couple of packs …
My favorite granola recipe, Jule’s Granola was given to me by a friend also coworker, years ago. She brought a bag to work one day, and being a granola hater, I passed on trying it. She offered again and added, “This ain’t your Quaker Oats guy in the funny hat-boxed granola”. To appease her, I …
I know, I know…I already have a few showstopper blueberry muffin recipes on 3Jamigos but I just found another one! From Zoe Bakes, her Blueberry Muffin with Crumble Topping. The crumble and a touch of lemon sets this muffin apart. They’re delicious and perfect with a cup of coffee or tea. During blueberry season, which …

Adding to the cucumber salad recipes on 3Jamigos, I recently came across a copycat of Din Tai Fung’s cucumber appetizer. Just in case you aren’t familiar with Din Tai Fung. It is a global restaurant conglomerate from Taiwan that specializes in noodles and dumplings. There’s one in the Valley Fair mall in San Jose. The …
Yet another recipe from the gorgeous cookbook, Made Here created by Send Chinatown Love. In a recent post, I wrote about the Made Here cookbook and shared one of its recipes, Taiwan Bear House’s Lion’s Head Meatballs. Based in New York, Send Chinatown Love, is a grassroots group created by young, POC professionals in response …
Okay, I cannot tell a lie, my geography knowledge sucks. I sat down to write this post on one of my favorite bakeries in San Francisco, Kantine, and on the cookbook, Scandinavian From Scratch, by owner, Nichole Accettola. Tap, tap, tap on my keyboard, “Heavenly Scandinavian pastries inspired by her time in Copenhagen”, WAIT. Isn’t …
