Merry Christmas!! Celebrated by cooking recipes

Merry Christmas!!
Celebrated by cooking recipes from all my favorites:
1️⃣ All belly porchetta a la @kenjilopezalt . Couldn’t find skin on but still really tasty!
2️⃣ rainbow plate for Christmas feast!
3️⃣&4️⃣ an overwhelming undertaking (in addition to cooking other things): pear panna cotta cake from @zoebakes . Truly delicious - each layer would be an impressive dessert on its own. Despite some missteps, i was really happy with how it turned out 😅 will attempt again
5️⃣ Gluten free flourless brownie cookies by @theloopywhisk using @dandelionchocolate Colombia chocolate
6️⃣ cardamom rolls by @maurizio - a little overproofed but still delicious!

My first kimchi! Compared to other ferments I’ve

My first kimchi! Compared to other ferments I’ve done, this one was quite the process.
First salting each individual leaf of the napa cabbage, while making the paste out of glutinous rice flour, gochugaru, pear, radish, fish paste. Then rubbing THAT paste on each individual leaf and getting it in every nook and cranny. And then the fermenting - with it bubbling and overflowing and brewing.
It tastes pretty great, just like I expected!

🤔When do you need a refreshing cocktail?⁠ ⁠

🤔When do you need a refreshing cocktail?⁠
⁠
🍸When it’s hot out⁠
🍸When you’re about to eat a heavy meal⁠
🍸When you love cucumber drinks⁠
⁠
The “Bright and Crisp,” my cucumber and oregano cocktail, is the answer to all the above situations.⁠
⁠
After a decade as a home chef, I’ve been applying my flavor pairing skills to mixology with the goal of creating a light, refreshing cocktail as the opening act before a heavy meal. ⁠

To all my fellow Bay Area amateur cooks, I urge you to make a trip to Berkeley Bowl @berkeleybowl to shop for your next exciting recipe.
⁠
I recently visited last week and walked away with a bountiful haul of fresh fruits and veggies! What I loved:⁠
⁠
• its diverse product selection! so much produce in different sizes, varietals, and colors!⁠
• price! Even with the exotic selection, it wasn’t any more expensive than any other grocery store with inferior selection. ⁠
• everything I bought was really fresh and just looked REALLY good. ⁠
⁠
@fitavocado (food blogger extraordinaire) advised me to come prepared with a recipe in mind to make my first Berkeley Bowl experience more focused, which was great advice! Here’s what I made: ⁠
⁠
• seared salt-crusted pork chops⁠
• mushroom cream sauce ⁠
• roasted striped Holland bell peppers⁠
• dill mustard potato salad⁠
• baby gem salad with carrots, cucumbers, radishes, and wasabi sprouts in a nectarine vinaigrette ⁠
⁠
It tasted fantastic - a given since I started with such great fresh groceries!⁠
⁠
Tell me - what’s your favorite grocery store? ⁠
(and why is it Berkeley Bowl?)⁠

If you want to enjoy the pure flavor of tomato in

If you want to enjoy the pure flavor of tomato in your tomato soup…go canned.⁠
⁠
I’m usually all about using fresh fruit and vegetables, but tomatoes are a special case. Unless you’ve got access to some primo home grown beauties during peak season, grocery store tomatoes are often forcefully ripened and therefore… bland. ⁠
⁠
Using canned tomatoes gives your tomato soup the refreshing taste of ripe tomatoes!⁠
⁠
I made this tomato soup with Bianco Dinapoli whole peeled tomatoes, which I love for their sweetness and concentrated tomato flavor.⁠
⁠
To accompany it, I made a grilled cheese with creamy gouda and delicate fontina, sandwiched between slices of @theloopywhisk ‘s gluten free sandwich bread.⁠
⁠
Do you use canned tomatoes or fresh? Comment below with your tomato thoughts 🍅⁠

When you go glamping, you have to have some ✨glamorous✨ food to go with it!
We recently visited @mendocino_grove , a beautiful glamping spot on the coast of Northern California. We lived - and ate - like kings. We stopped at a winery + goat farm along the way, enjoyed the Grove’s hassle-free breakfasts, and cooked a lot over a campfire!
Swipe to see what we ate while glamping!
1 - Our first stop was a winery - @pennyroyalfarm. Beautiful grounds and mindblowingly great wine.
2 - @pennyroyalfarm is also a goat farm! Delicious goat cheeses.
3 - @mendocino_grove includes breakfast and coffee! Great way to start the day.
4 - Steak and eggs - yes, featuring a bottle of Pinot Noir we bought from @pennyroyalfarm.
5 - Surf and turf - steak, jumbo wild shrimp, bell peppers, and a campfire potato.
6 - Eggs on gluten free bread made with @theloopywhisk recipe.
7 - Bacon and egg hash.
Have you been glamping before? Comment below! ✍️

Have you ever dreamed of catching a fish...and eat

Have you ever dreamed of catching a fish...and eating it too?⁠
⁠
🙋‍♀️ I have! I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of cooking and eating a fish that I caught. It's like being a SURVIVOR-WOMAN who can fully provide for herself!⁠
⁠
here’s what made it possible :) ⁠
⁠
🐟 doing some basic research on fishing is key, especially if you’re not experienced⁠
⁠
🐟to secure our catch, we hired a fishing charter. We’ve gone fishing multiple times, but the fishing charter was an efficient, productive, and FUN experience. ⁠big thanks to Captain Carl!
⁠
🐟 and the best part - cooking your catch! Fresh fish doesn’t need anything fancy to make it shine - even just salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon will do. In my previous post, I showcase my fish tacos from our fresh king salmon and flounder.⁠
⁠
It was an amazing experience and not hard to pull off with this preparation.⁠
⁠
Have you done a catch and cook before? I’d love to hear how yours went - drop me a comment on your catch and cook experience 🎣⁠

Have you ever heard the term “catch and cook?”

Have you ever heard the term “catch and cook?” 🎣⁠
⁠
It’s all about catching a fish yourself, cooking it, and eating it! I went on my first catch and cook adventure recently, fishing for king salmon in the Seattle Puget Sound. We had a fantastic time and an even better meal! ⁠
⁠
What did we choose to make with our fresh fish? ⁠
⁠
Fish tacos! This choice was inspired by the reasonably priced avocadoes and in-season mangoes we spotted at the store. Let’s break it down:⁠
⁠
🐟 freshly caught King Salmon and flounder, lightly dusted with flour and fried⁠
🐟 tortillas⁠
🐟 mango salsa made with fresh mango, tomatoes, cilantro, and lime juice⁠
🐟 pico de gallo⁠
🐟 avocado mash⁠
🐟 julienned raw cabbage⁠
🐟 cilantro lime crema made with sour cream, mayonnaise, cilantro, and lime juice ⁠
⁠
Honestly, you don’t need an intense meal plan for fresh fish - even plain salt, pepper, and lemon is a fantastic way to enjoy your fresh catch. But I always like my food a little bit ✨extra✨ so I can’t help but put something elaborate together!⁠
⁠
Have you ever done a catch and cook, or wanted to? Drop a comment if you have!

If you love corn cheese, you’ll love these air fried corn cheese and shrimp egg rolls! ⁠
⁠
Served with a cilantro lime crema sauce that makes the flavors SING 🎤and lightens up this decadent appetizer.⁠
⁠
I toyed with the idea of making corn cheese into a dip, but then I thought ‘how can I wrap the carb around this cheesy goodness so it’s an easy finger food?’ Thus the corn cheese egg roll was born.⁠
⁠
Make this recipe for your next social eating event and it's sure to impress! Recipe is in the link in my bio or https://makedinnerplans.com/recipe/air-fryer-corn-cheese-and-shrimp-egg-rolls-with-cilantro-lime-crema/⁠
