It is that time of the year when Superbowl parties are planned here in the USA. So these Twice Baked Potatoes with Chicken are a must make. We do not host big parties. It is usually just five of us with plenty of good food; Pizzas, read more
If you told me I will love this Malaysian Roasted Cauliflower, I would tell you you are crazy. I love raw cauliflower as well as fried but I never thought I would be into this one at all, but it is so good. You must read more
Chocolate bark is a Holiday classic treat. I hope you agree with me?! However, Marbled Chocolate Almond Bark with Sea Salt is simply amazing.
Using simple ingredients we can turn it into the perfect gift for your friend, boss, teacher, or even just to serve it to your guests.
The kids waited patiently enough and did not open the fridge 30 times to check if the chocolate is set. Only about 15 times.
Okay, let me be more honest here, they were getting up in rotation every few minutes.
I do not blame them because these are so good and truth to be told worth the wait. They were so good!
When I say almond bark is good, I mean it was damn good! Sweet, with a hint of savory and crunchy.
I cannot ask for anything better. Well, maybe next time I will be throwing in crushed pretzels. I think with the addition of pretzels my bark would be even better.
We really love the sweet and savory combo. I think most people do love that combo so I am going to play around to make the best one.
Anyhow, originally I wanted to pack these for my son’s teacher, but before I could turn they were all gone.
It was pretty late at night so I whipped another batch and hid so they couldn’t find it.
It is one of those treats that every time you walk by them, you gotta take at least one. You are warned just so you know!

You can make a Dark chocolate base and white swirls. White Almond bark chocolate you can find in baking aisles, but you can use any type.
Ghirardelli Classic White Chocolate chips work wonderfully. You can use Bittersweet chocolate or any that you prefer. Ghirardelli Chocolate Semisweet Chocolate Baking Chips also great!
Use mixed nuts, or pretzels or roasted (salted) almond for a great balance of flavor between sweet and savory.
Roasted Almonds are perfect for this. I made it a few more times with different chocolates and noticed that some are not working as should so I added heavy whipped cream to make it smooth and thinner. It was much better and easier to spread!
I just love the fall time and all the aroma in the air. Pumpkin spice cookies, lattes, and apple pies. When my kids smell cookies baking in my oven they have this amazingly happy expression on their faces. I think, or better said, I hope read more

These amazingly tasty Green Tea Soft Pretzels made with fine matcha powder are perfect treat any time of the day.
They might not look perfect, but they are very delicious. Even my darling husband started to laugh when I put them in front of him. By the way, he is my biggest fan and would never laugh, but he was laughing his butt off.
I know I will get some harsh comments about it, but in my defense, they were very yummy. My youngest one loves anything matcha. He asks me often to make him “green” crepes.
All three are so different and chose completely different dips to munch these with.
So, to give you an idea, my oldest one, Alex ate these with honey mustard, my girl, Anna with Mayo with Sriracha and youngest one, Dani dipped pretzels into sour cream and chives.
Personally, I preferred with of course olive oil mayo+ sriracha, it gave me an extra kick.
I took my time and made a complete step by step instructions. I thought it would be more helpful if you decide to make these.
First, let me say that I absolutely love both Green Tea Powder and Thai Sriracha Sea Salt. I am obsessed with those two so I decided to make these delicious pretzels.
Now, let’s get started. Sit tight and enjoy the ride.
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTION:
1. Warm-up 3/4 cup of water and dissolve 1.5 tsp. green tea powder by whisking until there are no lumps; set aside.
2. Mix together in a small dish dry yeast and 1 tsp. Sugar, add little less than 1/4 cup warm water, stir and let the yeast become bubbly/frothy.
3. In a large bowl add All-Purpose flour, and add salt, baking powder, mix. Add the remaining 2 tsp. sugar, mix again. Make a well in the flour and add activated dry yeast.
4. Slowly pour in about a few tbsp. of dissolved green tea powder water, mix in with the activated yeast and flour. Add the rest of the green powder water, stir then add water about 4 oz.
Mix with the wooden spoon, then knead for 10-12 minutes until the dough becomes elastic and when you touch or poke it doesn’t stick too much to your fingers.
5. Code the dough ball well all around with oil. Cover and let it rise in a warmer area for 40-50 minutes, or until almost double in size.
6. Preheat the oven o 400°F (200°C/gas 6-moderately hot).
7. Once the dough is almost double in size, knead it for a few minutes, make a ball then cut into equal parts (like in the picture). Make thinner strips of dough, then make pretzels. You can make a double loop if you desire (I made one as you can see).
8. Place them on a well-greased baking sheet/OR lined baking pan with parchment pepper/OR nonstick alum.foil.
9. Mix the egg lightly, then brush on each pretzel. Sprinkle with Sriracha Sea Salt and sesame seeds.
10. Bake for 20-25 minutes in the preheated oven, depending on your oven. The color needs to be slightly golden to a golden brown.
11. Once done, cover with a kitchen cotton towel for 10 minutes to rest and cool down.
12. Once cold, store in Ziploc bags, or airtight container for freshness. Preheat for 10-15 seconds to eat, if you desire.

These amazingly tasty Green Tea Soft Pretzels made with fine matcha powder are perfect treat any time of the day.
You do not need to put Green Tea powder, and certainly, you can use any topping that you like. Make sure that dough is firm, much like dough for pizza. It also needs to be elastic, if you knead long enough the dough will become more flexible and not breakable.
When it comes to liquid, always add a little bit at the time. Mix and see if you need more; also if you add too much water you can adjust with FLOUR, or another way around if its too much flour, add splash more water. My oven bakes the best at 400°F. You know your oven, so you can adjust what's best for you.
How different are Korean pancakes from regular American pancake? Well… Eggs, wheat flour, rice flour, green onions, and other additional ingredients (seafood/meat/veggies) depending on the variety, but that is a basic base.
I would be a fool to say that I do not like bread. Bread of any kind is my favorite thing ever, but sweet, delicious, warm, filled with red sweet bean paste…mmm! You feel me now? Well, you simply cannot say you do not like read more
One more lunch box idea for you to try, of course, you may add what you have and like but it is simple and delicious…on top of all my daughter loves it!
Chicken, Rice, and Biscuits I made the night before, and 30 minutes before I start packing lunch I boiled an egg, and preheated everything and sprinkled a few toasted sesame seeds for the crunch and the taste.
Mukimame is shelled edamame or soybeans. It was frozen so I just steamed it for a few minutes and it makes a wonderful and healthy companion to rice as well as to the chicken.
I added Green apple, Tomatoes, and Cheese Skewer and Chocolate as well as juice to make it more interesting and colorful when she opened up her lunch bag.
After many fails, I finally mastered making these tasty No Bake Muesli Peanut Butter Energy Bites. One of my readers had a recipe suggestion, and I have to admit that I failed and I failed miserably. She asked for a simple energy bar recipe. I read more
