<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Not long ago I thought kale was just for decoration. Until recently I discovered that we could make lots of wonderful dishes with it. </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Kale can be eaten raw or cooked. Either way is delicious. </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The nutrient value of kale is phenomenal. Adding smoked oysters and potatoes certainly creates this delicious chowder.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It wasn't long ago that one of my husband's colleagues brought some Brazilian Cheese Bread to a gathering. That was the first time I ever tasted it, and I loved it. As curiosity strikes, I wanted to find out how to make it. I was told that the bread was made with some Brazilian Cheese Bread mix which was originated from Brazil. That sounded so authentic to me. I knew that finding the bread mix was not going to be easy, so I started searching the recipe on line. I finally saw a recipe of Brazilian Cheese Bread that I thought it would be close to what I had. After I tried the recipe, I was very happy with the result. The bread tasted very cheesy and chewy, and was exactly what I was hoping for. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This blueberry pound cake is great for afternoon tea. The key to making the pound cake perfect is to
beat butter and sugar until the mixture becomes very smooth.
Adding some powdered milk can enhance the taste of the cake. If you have a new neighbour moving next
door, you may consider baking this rich buttery pound cake as a welcoming
present. </span> </span> </div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I had wanted to make these steamed dumplings a long time ago, but then once I figured that I needed to take the steamer out of the cupboard, I changed my mind. Since I don't steam food that much, I normally hide my steamer in the cupboard so that it doesn't take up valuable counter space. Today, my urge to make these dumplings has overcome such a threshold. Steamed pork and shrimp dumplings or Siu Mai are served as dim sum in Chinese restaurants. The main ingredients are pork and shrimp or perhaps some black mushroom. My son doesn't like black mushroom, so I usually don't add it to my dishes. I am a big fan of shrimp. I prefer a bit more shrimp than pork in my dumplings. For the wrappers, you can simply buy them at any Asian supermarkets. They are called wonton wrappers. They usually come in squares. However, I find it easier to work with a round shape. A cookie cutter or paring knife can be used to trim off the corners of the square wrappers. </span></div>

<b>Directions</b></span><br />
<ol>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Mix shrimp, pork, fish sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, black pepper and corn starch together. </span></li>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Today is Canada Day. A perfect time to celebrate with some butter tarts. I wasn't a huge fan of butter tarts until one of my friends gave me this recipe. Once I tried the recipe, I became hooked. I love my butter tarts with less sugar but more nuts. In my opinion, handmade butter tarts always taste better than store bought. Also, it's fun to make them bite size. </span></div>

It's not only healthy, but also tasty. Making homemade soup is very easy. You don't need any special knowledge to make scrumptious soup. The key is to use fresh ingredients. Sauteing onions, garlic and leek before adding liquid can bring out their aromas. That would give the soup more flavour. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I like this recipe because it's simple and tasty. Also, it's a great way of using up some of the leftover cooked meat or cooked seafood. There is no straight rule at all. Quinoa is not something that everyone would like, but you may consider giving these quinoa cakes a try even if you are not a big fan of quinoa. Perhaps they would surprise you by their taste. </span></span></div>

It was so delicious, and my whole family loved it! It tasted like a brownie cake. A rich chocolate, buttery flavor, mixing with raspberry, is definitely something to die for. I am very happy that I have the recipe.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">As root vegetables are in season right now, I have been experimenting with interesting ways of cooking them. I brought some turnips home along with carrots and bean sprouts from my last trip to the supermarket. When time came to prepare dinner yesterday, I thought of using all these ingredients to make a dish. Simultaneously, those eggs in the fridge appeared in my vision. So I came up with this 'Egg Foo Young' dish. As you may know, Egg Foo Young is one of the dishes that you can find in some of the Chinese restaurants. It is cooked the same way as an omelette. Quite honestly, this was the first time that I had ever used turnips to make Egg Foo Young. I love their sweet flavour. They go so well with carrots and bean sprouts. I also made some sauce and put it on the side. For me, I enjoy eating Egg Foo Young with or without the sauce. </span></span></div>

Although I have never met her in person, her friendly, sincere attitude has inspired me ever since. It was around Christmas time that Nami had mentioned about this peanut butter cookie recipe on her blog. I like Nami's idea of substituting 1/2 cup of brown sugar for 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and using the extra crunch peanut butter. When I baked these cookies last night, I adapted Nami's recipe by using chocolate chunks instead of chocolate chips. I also added one teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance flavor. Despite all the resolutions which are still fresh in our mind, how can we resist the allure of scrumptious cookies?</span></span> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LYqJQffGj-Q/Tx47WusN3GI/AAAAAAAAArU/adpRAlhqSlY/s1600/DSCN2870-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LYqJQffGj-Q/Tx47WusN3GI/AAAAAAAAArU/adpRAlhqSlY/s640/DSCN2870-2.jpg" width="498" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Although the market is open year round, the selection of vegetables and fruits is quite limited in winter. We bought some fresh carrots, parsnips, potatoes, garlic, basil and rosemary during our last visit. Yesterday, I used all these ingredients and made a very delicious side dish for dinner. Apparently, you don't need a fancy recipe to make a tasty dish when you use fresh ingredients. They can produce their own flavors. Adding too much seasoning may destroy the purpose of buying them fresh. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">After eating excessively during the holidays, starting with some lean pork tenderloins would probably be the right choice. One of my new year's resolutions is to stay healthy, but also to enjoy delicious foods. I hope I will discover more interesting recipes, and improve the quality of the pictures so that they look indulgent. I am inspired by all the talented and creative food bloggers out there. Their beautiful food blogs make my passions for cooking get stronger.</span></span> <br />

<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">Today I would like to introduce to you two new ingredients that you probably wouldn't normally cook them on a regular basis. These are goji berries and enoki mushrooms. The goji berries have been getting attention recently. There are more and more health stores and supermarkets starting to carry goji berries. Some studies show that goji berries contain antioxidants and have lots of health benefits. For those who have never tasted goji berries before, they taste sweet and tangy which are similar to the flavor of cranberry. The goji berries are usually sold in a dried form. You need to wash and soak them in warm water for a few minutes before you use them for salad or other dishes. You can make a hot drink by steeping the goji berries in the boiling water for a few minutes. In the future, I will introduce more recipes to you using these amazing goji berries.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br class="para" style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;" /><span class="modif" style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">For the enoki mushrooms, you can find them fresh or in cans in some of the Asian markets. I prefer the fresh kind because they contain a delicate flavor which you can hardly taste it when they are in cans. Wash and pat dry with paper towels before you use them. The lower part of the stems should be trimmed off. Also, try to separate them if they are all attached together. My experience is that you can get choking by putting a whole bundle into your mouth. For me, I even cut them in half crosswise, so that accidents can be prevented.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">Cookies have been massively baked this whole week. I thought I would be close to get my Christmas baking done, but every time when the cookies are out of the oven, they smell so good that we can't help but eat them. Until today, more than half of the cookies have already been eaten before I have a chance to gift wrap and send them to friends. I guess there will still be another week of baking to do until I can sit back and relax. Good that I enjoy baking. All these colorful cookies get me into the Christmas spirit.</span></span></div>

There are so many marvelous recipes on that site. I tried this Thumbprint Cookie recipe, and I really like it. I also used the same dough recipe, and made a different kind of cookie which I called it Cherry Shortbread. All the cookies came out beautifully.</span></span></div>
