Chinese Turnip Cake

Last year our attempt at a Chinese feast for Lunar New Year was a little bit of a flop. I made Lion's Head Meatballs and just didn't get it quite right. The meatballs were good, but the broth was very bland and the cabbage was a little unwieldy. We'll try again one day, but this... Continue Reading →

Mini Clementine Cakes

I was working on a Lunar New Year menu and browsing Woks of Life (an excellent Chinese cooking blog if you're interested!) when I came across these. Given that I already had the ingredients and that a citrus dessert sounded like a perfect winter treat, I decided to add these in with our more traditional... Continue Reading →

Good Riddance 2020

Looking Back on 2017

I'm not going to lie... 2017 wasn't exactly my favorite year of all time. It was an exhausting year of school/clinical work. The news cycle was like 99.9993457245999% negative. And don't even get me started on our "president." We try to keep it positive around here - so we'll move away from all of that.... Continue Reading →

Hearty Hoppin’ John

Technically this is our second New Year's Eve living in South Carolina, but the first one barely counts. We had just moved here, in a whirlwind month that not only included moving to a new state, but also getting married, honeymooning in Puerto Rico, and spending Christmas with Ally's family. I'm pretty sure there were... Continue Reading →
