Here’s something fun to do with yummy food and we wanted to give it for you! Enjoy!

DSC_3836Have you ever had such a wicked craving for chocolate cake that you’ll simply die if you don’t get a piece within five minutes?

Well, I have. Many, many times.

And that’s where this little mug treat comes in! If you haven’t yet discovered the Pinterest-friendly joy of whipping up a 90-second chocolate cake in a mug…well, your life is about to change.

(Pssst. This is a rich little cup of wonder! Split it with a friend or loved one.)

 
 
DSC_3786Throw 3 tablespoons of flour into a microwave-safe mug…

 
 
DSC_3788Along with 3 tablespoons sugar…

 
 
DSC_37902 tablespoons cocoa powder (not shown) and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder.

Oh! And a teeny tiny pinch of salt.

 
 
DSC_3791Use a fork to stir it all together.

 
 
DSC_3815Add 3 tablespoons of milk and 3 tablespoons vegetable oil…

 
 
DSC_3818Along with a splash of vanilla…

 
 
DSC_3820And stir it…

 
 
DSC_3823Until it all comes together and you want to eat the batter.

 
 
DSC_3824This is optional, but delicious! Stir in 3 tablespoons semisweet chocolate chips.

 
 
DSC_3827Then pop it in the microwave and nuke it for 90 seconds!

 
 
DSC_3829It definitely doesn’t look fancy. But oh, is it good!

 
 
DSC_3832I took the liberty of whipping a little cream and plopping on a dollop.

 
 
DSC_3833And I added sprinkles, too!

 
 
DSC_3837And check it out.

It’s sinful, decadent chocolate fix. Share it with your sweetie!

Crispy Grilled Cheese by Ree

This is something neat to do with delicious food so we wanted to repost it for you! Enjoy!

DSC_3894In springtime of last year, I was in Los Angeles with my mother-in-law, my sister, and my daughter Alex. We went all over the place, checking out restaurants and shops and trying bites of delicious food here and there. We also ate at Sur, the restaurant of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Lisa Vanderpump, but that’s on the long list of Things I’ve Done But Have Forgotten to Write About. I need to start knocking things off on that list before it gets too long!

Anyway, one of the miscellaneous food places we went to was a cool little establishment called Stir Market, and they had this outlandishly preposterous grilled cheese sandwich, which featured buttered bread, cheese inside, outside, over, under, and all around.

Again: It was preposterous.

It’s been on my mind, so I made a replica yesterday…with one important exception! I did not have even a suggestion of good bread in the house…and good bread is absolutely required if you want to make this sandwich. The bread I used was fine, but it was soft and without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the yeast.

(Sorry. Had a Genesis moment there.)

Anyway, please don’t make this sandwich unless you have a nice, substantial sourdough sandwich bread or some hearty Italian or French bread. One that isn’t soft and that doesn’t easily get soggy.

And make no mistake: my sandwich below turned out just fine! I ate every bite. But to quote the legendary 80’s pop artist Tiffany, “It coulda been so beautiful…”

 
DSC_3845First: Usually when you make a grilled cheese, it’s customary to grab…well, some cheese. I used a mix of cheddar…

 
 
DSC_3846And Monterey jack.

 
 
DSC_3847Always grate your own!

 
 
DSC_3848Now, you need some soft, soft butter. This was leftover from some lofty cookie idea I had on Saturday—one, by the way, I got distracted and forgot about. It’s how I roll.

And now I want a cookie.

 
 
DSC_3872Because I used soft, soft bread, I didn’t want it to get soggy, so I just spread on a super thin amount. If you use sourdough or other substantial bread, go ahead and spread on a little more. Just remember that the cheese will produce a little grease as it melts…which is why cheese is so dang good.

 
 
DSC_3874Sprinkle a small amount of cheese on both halves, making sure the cheese sticks to the buttah.

 
 
DSC_3875Turn over one of the slices (yes, butter and cheese side down, but it will be fine!) and put a nice layer of cheese on top. This will actually be the gooey center.

I’m not sure there’s going to be enough cheese in this sandwich.

 
 
DSC_3876Carefully lift the other piece and put it on top of the piece with the filling. Is this the craziest thing you’ve ever seen in your life?

It’s not?

 
 
DSC_3878Okay, fine. Maybe it’s the 17,449th craziest thing in your life.

But at least that’s something!

 
 
DSC_3880Place it in a skillet over medium-low (to medium, depending on how hot your stove gets) heat. I think a nonstick skillet might be the best bet…but I decided to take a walk on the wild side with iron.

 
 
DSC_3885Take a peek every now and then and make sure it isn’t burning…and when it looks nice and golden brown and—yes—crispy (look at that surface!) flip it to the other side. Then just keep on cooking it until the center is melted and gooey. You might need to flip it over another time or two to make sure it doesn’t burn before the cheese is melted. You can always turn the heat down if you feel you need a little more time.

 
 
DSC_3892Ahhh. It’s done! You can see that nice, thin, crispy outer coating. You can also see the softness of the bread. That won’t happen to you because you’re going to use good bread, right?

 
 
DSC_3893Good lands. I don’t say that very often, and when I do, it usually involves melted cheese.

 
 
DSC_3894Enjoy every bite! And use whatever melting cheese you want. (Swiss would be astounding.)

And at the risk of sounding like a broken record: Use good, crusty, substantial bread! You won’t be sorry.

Here’s the printable!

Tofu and Kale Salad With Avocado, Grapefruit, and Miso-Tahini Dressing
I’ve been making versions of this salad with crispy tofu, avocado, and grapefruit, flavored with za’atar and topped with a miso and tahini dressing, on and off for the last couple of months, each time tweaking the ingredients a bit. I’ve come to the conclusion that the base is delicious no matter what you do with it, and it all comes down to the texture of those three main ingredients: crisp tofu, creamy avocado, and juicy grapefruit.

Cantonese-Style Tofu, Pine Nut, and Jicama Lettuce Cups (San Choi Bao)

Cantonese-Style Tofu, Pine Nut, and Jicama Lettuce Cups (San Choi Bao)
The inspiration for this recipe comes from the version of san choi bao I grew up eating at the original Phoenix Garden in New York’s Chinatown. That version features minced squab stir-fried with pine nuts and finely diced water chestnuts and vegetables. This thing is all about texture as the mix of crunchy, crisp, and tender bits comes together in your mouth, and it works just as well with a new set of vegetable-based ingredients.
