Pickled eggs are one of my favorite American foods. When I tried these for the first time, I thought “Wow! These are GOOD.” 🙂 I like hard boiled eggs and also sweet & sour flavors, so it is a perfect food for me. As you know, beets, eggs, and vinegar are healthy. I highly recommend these eggs. Since I liked them so much, I’ve made them several times, and at the end my husband said “No more please~~~” hehe. Oops, my poor honey. I can eat them more often though. I learnt how to make these from my mother-in-law, who gave me a good recipe for pickled eggs, which was from her husband’s mother. So I want to share this delicious food with you. 😉
Yield: 18 Pickled Eggs
My husband’s family used to make a large batch of homemade spaghetti sauce once a year. Since they canned it, all of us could enjoy delicious homemade sauce all year around. Although it was delicious, it needed a lot of work and time – too much of work. It would take about a whole day to make it. I have good memories helping my mother-in-law make the spaghetti sauce, but for the past several years, we stopped making it. I’ve been craving that tasty sauce. My husband always wanted to make shortcut version of it, which still tastes like the secret family recipe. We tried different methods over the years, each time getting closer to the goal. Finally, I can share a successful recipe to share with you. 🙂 My husband thinks that this easy version of spaghetti sauce is almost the same as the original. Yay!!! 👏😄 For this recipe, I’m going to use an electric pressure cooker as a key method to save my time and effort. I am very excited to show you how to make this delicious homemade spaghetti sauce in an hour. 🙂 I also can not wait for my in-laws to try it and tell me what they think about it. lol

Hi everyone! How have you been? Wow, can you believe that it’s almost the end of 2016 already? I often say the time flies, but this past year was a crazy busy year for my family. Bryson is enjoying his 1st grade life. Logan gets extra love from mom when dad and Bryson are not at home. My husband just finished his Master’s degree. There are so many things to be thankful about. I wonder how you are doing too. I hope you can share your story for the year briefly with us too.
Today, I will share one of my husband’s favorite cookies recipes that I learned from my mother-in-law. I heard my husband talk about raisin filled cookies many times before. He told me how much he likes them. It was a holiday food that his grandmother made many years ago, and nobody makes them now because they are difficult to bake. So, it was on my list of foods to make someday for him someday, which I finally got around to a few weeks ago. I can see why he said they are precious cookies after I tried to bake them myself. lol It is time-consuming and the process is a little more complex than normal cookies. However, the cookies are so unique and delicious, I wouldn’t mind making them for special occasions. hehe I’m not a sweet tooth, and it is not often that I find a dessert that I like, but when I took a bite from this cookie, I just loved it. My first bite was the cookie part with a little bit of the sweet syrup. It was like eating like a normal cookie, but then my next bite was a piece with softened raisins with more syrup. Wow, it was not like eating plain raisins. The texture and flavor of the raisin are changed after they cook in the sugar syrup. I want you to try them for yourself someday. 🙂

Hi everyone! How are you? I hope everybody is great. I’ve been busy settling down with my family after we moved to a new state. Things are less busy now, and I’m back in my kitchen. yay~~~ So, I will try to post more recipes now. I’m sorry for my slow posting and I appreciate all your comments, so please feel free to talk to me through my blog. The cooler weather is bringing in soup season. So today, I want to share a simple, yet delicious, homemade rosemary potato soup. My husband bought rosemary potato soup in a store and really liked it. I tried making it at home. It is not quite the same as the one from the store, but my husband was happy with the result. The creamy rosemary flavored soup with chunky vegetables is too good to miss for this time of year. Try it someday. 🙂

There are several great foods that I learned to make from my mother-in-law. Red salmon cakes is one of them. My mother-in-law makes very delicious salmon cakes with canned red salmon. Every now and then, I have difficulty finding canned red salmon in a store and the price keeps increasing. The last time I bought a can, it was almost 9 dollars. I’ve already tried pink salmon as a substitute because it’s much cheaper than red salmon. However, the flavor is not quite right. It tells me that you get what you pay for. Anyway, I didn’t give up and I still wanted to find a good replacement. It should be a good price, healthy, and more importantly, tasty. I finally found the answer: Sempio’s canned mackerel. As you know, mackerel is considered as a healthy fish, like salmon. Canned mackerel is about 1/3 the price. Plus, surprisingly, the mackerel cakes had a similar flavor and texture compared to the salmon cakes – closer than pink salmon. So, I’m very excited to share my delicious mackerel cake recipe with you today. All my family enjoyed them. I hope you enjoy them as much as we did. Try them someday. 🙂

Today, I want to share a new recipe that we enjoyed a lot recently – black bean burritos. My husband is a fan of Mexican food. He loves beans. On the other hand, I’m not a big fan of beans. When I made this black bean burrito recently, both my husband and I loved the flavor. I told my husband that I can eat this kind of beans easily. 🙂 It is very easy to make, but still has a great flavor combination. The creamy beans, vegetables, and burrito wrap is the perfect taste with spicy sauce. We found out that this burrito matches really well with smoked Tabasco chipotle sauce. 🙂
Yield: 3 Burritos
