Scoop, there it is.

We all need a bit more kindness these days and @aldensicecream is here to help spread it! @aldensicecream doesn't just make organic frozen specialities, they're also here to share more sweetness with their kindness giveaway! Head over to their IG page to enter the National Random Acts of Kindness Day giveaway by tagging a friend to pay it forward (I'll also add it to my stories). Their giveaway ends on Sunday, 2/21 so enter soon!

@aldensicecream [gifted] me all of their delicious, perfectly sweetened, and organic/non-GMO ice creams and frozen novelties. The freckled strawberry yogurt bar was my absolute favorite as it was packed with real strawberries. They gave me a LOT of ice cream (this is only a small portion of what I could fit in the shot!) so I used it to make some goodies to share with friends. I'm so honored to participate in @aldensicecream #randomactsofkindnessday to encourage acts of kindness. A simple act of kindness can go a long way and it can be as simple as giving someone a compliment.

Cheesecake, but make it love ❤️ Look at how cute these mini lemon and strawberry cheesecake are! The husband is picky when it comes to cheesecake but he definitely loves these. I add loads of fresh lemon juice and lemon zest for that extra pucker effect (kissy face, anyone?). It really helps lighten up the whole cake. But where's the strawberry? In those little hearts! I combine frozen strawberry powder to a bit of the batter and pipe out shapes.
•
The ancient form of cheese originated from Ancient Greece on the island of Samos. Cheesecake was served to athletes during the first Olympic games in 776 BC and there is evidence that cheesecake was used as wedding cakes in Greece! After conquering Greece, Romans are credited for making cheesecake known throughout Europe. It wasn't until the 18th century that the cheesecake evolved into something we would recognize in modern society. Today, there are many variations on the cheesecake worldwide. Do you have a favorite type of cheesecake?

This makes my heart beet.

The husband and I don't really celebrate Valentine's Day but we like using it as an excuse to eat. I made this beet and brie tart a few months ago and the husband thought it looked celebratory and advised that I post it this week - good idea! I always keep puff pastry in the freezer as it's one of the simplest ways to throw together a meal with anything you have. If you want to fancy-fy any dish, try to slice it thin and roll them into roses. I use this trick to upscale desserts and toasts. Another trick? Finish off your food with a healthy pinch of quality sea salt for added burst of flavor and crunch.
•
Puff pastry is a laminated dough made of layers of thin layers of lean dough and butter. It's flakey and light because of these layers. Commercial butter contains about 15-18% water. As the butter melts and the water evaporates, it creates steam between the dough layers which in turn create the gaps that make it flakey. Making puff pastry from home is time consuming and slightly daunting. My butter would get too soft and gush out the sides when I would roll it. I learned to keep the butter as cold as possible by throwing it into the fridge every every few folds/rolling. I also start off by making the butter block ahead of time and popping it into the fridge to get it as hard as possible and thawing in the fridge slightly before use. While it's worth the effort to make it at home, I find the frozen puff pastry equally as good and delicious.

And the Super Bowl weiner is....
•
Honestly, I'm just here for the halftime show. Bring on the snacks! I have a bad habit of stuffing my fridge and pantry full and coincidentally had all the ingredients needed for Korean hot dogs. They're the best crispy finger food that I can mindlessly munch on while keeping my eyes glued to the TV. The batter is made from flour, milk, egg, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Hot dogs and string cheese sticks were stuck on some skewers. Typically, french fries or panko are used as the coating but I used the corn flakes in the pantry which the husband prefers. Then they’re slathered with ketchup and @kewpieusa.
•
What's the difference between American corn dogs and Korean corn dogs? The dough, for sure. American corn dogs are made with cornmeal giving it a crunchy, crispy exterior. Also, there tends to be a sweeter taste. Korean corn dogs have a soft, fluffy exterior. The crunch typically comes from panko, french fries, or other crunchy items adhered to the dough before it goes into the fryer. In this corn dog Super Bowl, who's your winner?

I've been down in the dumps.
•
Anyone else feel like January dragged on longer than necessary? Good; wasn't just me. I'm (cautiously) excited February is finally here and we can keep 2021 moving along. The last month has been super busy for me and the husband so we've been surviving on meal prep to get us through. My favorite meal prep is copious amounts of dumplings. I can mindlessly pleat dumplings as I watch a movie and they freeze so well. Pork dumplings with chives are a staple in my household drizzled with hot chili oil.
•
Chinese New Year is coming up and I would highly recommend making your own dumplings to celebrate! Dumplings are a traditional food during CNY because they resemble little gold nuggets. It's auspicious to eat foods that resemble or sound like good luck items to bring in a year of prosperity and fortune. I use @belcampoco organic ground pork in my dumplings. Their pork is from heritage hogs versus conventional pigs typically found at stores. These hogs that have the perfect marbling to pack flavor and tenderness into each little dumpling.

This is soup-er a-peeling.
•
Soup is needed for the upcoming Bay Area weather we're expecting: high winds (already here), lower temperatures in the 50s, and lots of rain. I love rain season, especially when snuggled up with a piping hot bowl of soup. My mom used to keep the frozen french onion soups stocked up for quick and easy meals and I had a sudden nostalgic craving for it. I used @belcampomeatco beef stock to create that deep rich broth that french onion soup is known for. Topped off with a slice of rustic baguette and melty gruyere. It was worth all the tears shed during onion cutting for this.
•
Onion soups date back to Roman times and was originally considered a peasant dish. That makes so much sense though: onions are cheap and easily grown so it could be eaten as a main source of food. It wasn't until the 18th century where the modern version of french onion soup was created in France (no surprise there) with beef stock and caramelized onions. There was a popularity surge of french onion soup in the 1960s and again in the 1990s. Now that the 90s is popular again, will we see french onion soup trend this year?

Here they come. Act cashew-al.
•
I'm trying to make better food choices like many others in the new year and made cashew energy balls to curb those sweet tooth cravings. I’m always in the mood to snack when I plan out food recipes and posts (I wonder why). I added collagen for an extra oomph of collagen and protein to support my daily self care routine [AD] I love how the @uniconutrition Aquarius Collagen Beauty Formula easily dissolves or mixes into drinks and foods. I haven't struggled with any clumps!
•
Growing up in a Chinese-American household, I knew about the benefits of collagen for quite some time. My mom would spend hours making collagen soups and urged me to drink it to support skin elasticity, hydration, and healthy growth of hair and nails. Having collagen in powder form is so much more convenient and makes it easier to keep up this regime (I still love your soup, mom!). I've been adding Aquarius to my morning coffee and it's helped with my winter dry skin and COVID acne outbreaks. Can’t wait to see more results!

I've got a crunch on you.
•
There's a 90s comeback! It warms my heart to see mini backpacks and scrunchies everywhere again. My belly is also happy with throwbacks like @doritos 3D Crunch by @fritolays coming back too [#sponsored] I'm so excited to be one of the first to munch on the chili nacho cheese flavor and relive those adolescent moments of snacking on these as I did my homework while playing "Truly Madly Deeply" on repeat on a CD player (have I aged myself?). The texture is exactly how I remember them to be: super crunchy and an explosion of cheese flavor. @doritos is offering two flavors of the 3D Crunch: Chili Cheese Nacho and Spicy Ranch. Grab yours from @krogerco soon!
