Growing up, my mom (Mei) would cook mapo tofu for dinner and it was one of my absolute favorite dishes that she made. I know some people hate tofu and can’t stand the taste or texture of it, but I love it. Maybe it’s because I grew up eating it and it was something familiar…

Recipe: Savory Cheddar Corn Waffles
Move over avocado toast, because avocado waffles are way more delicious! Recently, I splurged and got myself a mini-waffle iron. It was $10, so it was pretty hard to pass up.

I was given the gift of an abundant amount of zucchini (courgettes). So instead of making endless stir-fry with it, I decided to make some pan fried cakes using the shredded squash. They’re almost like latkes, but with chunks of garlic and onions in it. Gather your ingredients, which isn’t much. Two medium sized squashes,…
