Ba Noi’s Vietnamese Egg Rolls

June 21, 2020

I’m privileged to be sharing the most precious of recipes with you today. Forget everything you know think you know about egg rolls. Because these are the eggrolls to rule all eggrolls. A tradition passed down through generations, I’m sharing the recipe with you for Vietnamese egg rolls. Of course I have special permission to share with you.  This is one you’ll want to make for every special occasion. This recipe calls for ground chicken, but you could use ground pork as well. Delicious on their own, you can also serve with fish sauce – but they’re seriously good with everything or by themselves. Recipe makes about 25 eggrolls.

My Quarantine Food Journal

May 15, 2020

It’s either week 7 or 8 of quarantine. I’m not really sure anymore but even more sure it doesn’t really matter either. It’s been a major change to every part of life, resulting in many, many challenges (homeschooling anyone?). But it’s also provided a unique opportunity to find your passion and really lean into it. I’ve been gardening for a while, so it was no surprise that I find extra joy in watering my plants in the morning. But I’ve also discovered a great love for cooking and baking. With grocery supplies scarce, it’s been a welcome challenge to find new recipes with what’s available already in the pantry. My good friend, Amy, also referred me to a service where we were able to get a crate full of a variety of vegetables, fruits, rice, bread and eggs.

Rafaela’s Sopa de Fideo

May 10, 2020

This dish makes me think of childhood. While no one had a chance to get my Grandma Rafaela to write down the exact recipe, I’ve done my best to recreate it for you. There aren’t any real measurements. So cook everything to taste.
