Healthy Corn Muffin Recipe Living in the Midwest, we go to a lot of potluck parties. And I always like to offer to bring a simple side that both the adults and kids will like so I tend to fluctuate between fruit bowls and veggie platters and homemade muffins.

These Chinese-inspired steamed buns have it all–fluffy dough, tender eggplant, and a mouth watering hoisin sauce. They’re so delicious! Bao are absolutely scrumptious, but in my experience it’s rare to find vegan friendly ones. Thankfully they’re simple enough to make at home! There are two components to bao, the filling and the dough. The dough is yeasted which makes for a extra soft and puffy bun. The dough can be folded into a pocket, such as in gua bao (Taiwanese pork belly buns), or can be wrapped into a bun/round dumpling shape as I’ve done here....
When it comes to snacking, fries are the best! You might also like our Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Fries, Zucchini Fries, and Homemade Mozzarella Sticks. I love french fries, but I am picky about them. Perfect french fries need to be hot, thick, and crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. No ultra-thin shoestring fries or soggy, cold fries for me. My mom was born and raised in Pocatello, Idaho, and I spent every summer there as a kid at my grandparent’s house....
What makes bread a bagel? Is it the shape? The texture? Where they come from? Yes, yes, and no. Let’s start with the last question: I emphatically believe that you can make or get a damn good bagel anywhere in the world… provided you can source the correct ingredients that is. Now a disclaimer – I’m not from NYC, nor have I spent a crazy amount of time there (but I have eaten NY style bagels)....
This Southern Peach Pie Recipe will knock your socks off When I think of summer, I always think of peach juice dripping pink and sticky down chins and that sweet, orangey-pink peach flesh that is just bursting with yummy fresh flavor beneath fuzzy red and orange peach skins. Peaches are my all-time favorite fruit, and I say that without equivocation. But because I love fresh peaches so much, it is almost hard to bake with them because I love just eating them out-of-hand or sliced into a bowl with a little cream and sugar!...

We love quick breads and loaf cakes like this one. Some of our other favorites are Cranberry Orange Bread, Coconut Lime Glazed Banana Bread, and Cinnamon Swirl Quick Bread.

Can’t say I blame him for wanting more. There’s something so satisfying about twirling freshly cooked spaghetti around your fork and shoveling those slippery noodles into your mouth.
