Happy Monday!👋👋 The day after the Sour Dough Brioche bread was made, and this morning, I decided I would make grilled cheese sandwiches!! I used 2 types of cheeses; Colby Jack and Jalapeno pepper cheeses! Yum!!😋 #grilledcheese #baking #monday #mondaybreakfast #cookinghands #kidsapproved #grilledcheesesandwich https://www.instagram.com/p/COsefFOhbbl/?igshid=vdegyzho4h6k

Happy Sunday, everyone! The two most popular Asian Street foods in my kitchen today are Papaya Spring rolls with papaya sauce, (so stinky my husband and 9 yrs old are complaining non-stop), and Korean corndogs. What makes thesr corn dogs so unique is the fillings. It has Jalapeno pepper cheese, mozzarella cheese, Jalapeno and Cheddar Johnsonville hot dogs, and regular hot dogs all in 1 corn dog. I wanted every bite to be different so I decided to do it this way. These corndogs were so popular that I had to make a second batter because it was not enough for these hungry kids!😅 My husband and younger kids are not a big fan of the Papaya salad because they think it's too spicy and stinky because it has the dark fish sauce. But if it's for a small serving, I like to make it in a spring roll format. This way, you can have it with, or without the pungent sauce. Also, easy to eat without making a mess everywhere!👍😋❤️ #asiankitchen #cookinghands #streetfood #homemade #foodbloggers #papaya #papayasalad #dippingsauces #cantgetenough #corndog #cheesygoodness #delicious https://www.instagram.com/p/COYVLqmByHf/?igshid=lq4wm6emd7bt

Happy Sunday everyone! 👋👋 Today's lunch is a bit exotic, Spicy Octopus Noodles. It's just too bad that as much as I want my family to try baby octopus 🐙, I know they will not. I love seafood but I know not everyone will agree with me.😋 My 5 year old saw me preparing them and said he will work towards protecting them from ever getting on our hands and end up eating them because he loves them too much! I think I may have traumatized him a bit here!😅 The second dish is a sweet potato soup dessert and it's served hot, aka "Navam Kub" in Hmong. I usually make these sweet yam and Japanese purple yam balls stuffed with mung bean and coconut fillings ahead of time, and then freeze them. On a frigid cold day where I feel like eating sweet hot soup, I would make it by using this ingredient and tapioca pearls. I also cut up some chunky sweet potatoes and purple yams and tapioca pearls, then cook it in a coconut cream sauce for 30 minutes. I then added palm sugar to sweetened, salt to balance, and ground cinnamon because it will make it that much better!😋😘 #asiankitchen #asianfoods #momsuperpowers #cookinghands #cookingtips #delicious #tapiocapearls #purpleyam #desserts #octopus #koreandish #asiankitchen #seafood #babyoctopus #girlpower #foodbloggers #instafood https://www.instagram.com/p/CLkBFGbhfLR/?igshid=16kx6rlniuqlq

Happy Fall everyone! Because winter squash is one of my favorite fall food, and it's in season as well, I'm taking advantage of it! Here, I have squash Gnocchi, lightly sauteed in a garlic butter sauce, and sprinkled with grated Reggiano Parmigianino cheese. 🤗😋 #gnocchi #wintersquash #pasta #cookinghands #cookingfromtheheart #garlicbutter #fallfoods https://www.instagram.com/p/CFh1tnwh80u/?igshid=nyrn0zi1xw6k
