It is often also a snoozefest - know what I mean?...

I’ve been hearing about Momofuku’s fried chicken from friends for a while so when I saw Chicken Wings with Momofuku Octo Vinaigrette recipe at A Cup of Mai back in June, I knew I wanted to try making it right away. Mai used Steamy Kitchen’s recipe, originally from Momofuku Cookbook by David Chang, so I also followed most of Steamy Kitchen’s recipe....
Ingredients needed 🧾 How to make it 🔪 More mushroom recipes Recipe 📖 They are not technically vegetables but a type of fungi. Mushrooms are a low-calorie source of fiber, protein, and antioxidants. They are a great substitute for meat in recipes because of their texture and flavor. That’s why it’s always a good idea to stock up on mushrooms if you are following a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle. But let me tell you, you cannot make an exact replica because restaurants use a lot of fat, and cream to make it tasty, plus also use a lot of shortcuts....

Our son, who loves history, happily shared his knowledge about The American Revolutionary War while we toured the city. With limited time, we couldn’t visit all the places but join us for our quick day in Philadelphia....
One Pot Chicken with Orzo This Chicken Orzo recipe is one of those meals you crave long after your last bite.

Pasilla (chile pasilla) or “little raisin” properly refers to the dried chilaca pepper, a popular Mexican chili pepper. The chilaca pepper, when fresh, is also known as pasilla bajio, or as the chile negro or “Mexican negro” because, while it starts off dark green, it ends up dark brown in color. It typically grows from 8 to 10 inches long. Pasilla peppers are very popular in Mexican cuisine and cooking, particularly for making sauces like moles, table sauces and salsas....
