For all the Macaron lovers out there!

Pretty much want to make EVERYTHING this gal has on her IG feed! I'll start with this fried noodle recipe. Yum! 🤤❤😘

Cantonese soy sauce fried noodle is one of many dim sum favorites that's made from pan-fried noodles and tossed in a special soy sauce mix.

This...is all I need to make me happy. Well, perhaps paired with a steaming mug of Earl Grey tea to compliment, and a warm cozy blanket, and my softest house slippers --- I may be a bit high maintenance...😉

Check out recipe below for a mouth watering Earl Grey 🍋 pound cake. Follow the breadcrumbs and you'll know where to find me! 👇

I cannot thank a dear friend enough for introducing me to this gem of a blogger! Everything posted not only looks delicious, but altogether seems realistic and time efficient. Who could ask for more in this busy time we all are living in? Weather forecast may be sunny, blue bird skies, and 80 for the next few days where I live, but this quick and easy wonton soup will probably be showing up on my dinner table this week! Also if ya dig crispy, crunchy, cheesy tacos...scroll in her recipes for "cheesy baked tacos". Now you know what 2/7 of MY dinners in the upcoming week will be! Happy FriYay Eve and Bon Apetit Friends!

25 Minute Wonton Soup with Sesame Chili Oil: better than the takeout version, but quicker and healthier too...perfect on a cold winter night!

Last night was a homemade chicken noodle soup kind of night! Every batch seems to be a little different which I love! I don't follow a hard recipe but find that harvesting seasonal herbs always adds a freshness to the soup. This batch had garden parsley and rosemary. Chicken thighs are amazing to sear and then slow cook in it's own juices with carrots and celery. Throw in a couple smashed garlic cloves, halve a lemon, squeeze those good juices in and throw the lemon to simmer with all that goodness. Remove the thighs once cooked, tear the meat and reintroduce to broth. Try not to slurp...
Who am I kidding! Slurp away and make sure to fill your bowl with plenty of egg noodles!

Goodness, I have unintentionally neglected posting here! Breakfast of champions enjoyed last week by yours truly pre workday and our little abode sprinkled with holiday cheer.
May each of you find morsels of joy each day in this unprecedented time. Lyrics from a favorite movie and story from my childhood have been running though my mind lately,

"The sun'll come out tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow
There'll be sun
Just thinkin' about tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow
'Til there's none..." - Annie

Sending you love and hugs this holiday season!
