Lovely kitchen but I'm more interested in the pear and chocolate scone! Will she share the recipe?

I love America's Test Kitchen's cookbook and their beef stew recipe is my standard. Instead of adding potatoes to the stew, I make mash potatoes instead and dump the beef stew over it. It's so g...

One morning my 2 year old son decided to open the fridge, take out the vegetable stock and pour it all on my couch. Not on the kitchen floor where it would be easier to clean but on my couch. I k...

This is definitely one of my favorite NYC house tour. So lovely and personable.

I tried the oven method a few weeks back and no more skillet for me! It was so simple and mess free.

I'm sorry but the finished cookie doesn't look as yummy as the ones I make from scratch.

I'm Chinese American and my husband is not. My mother stayed with us when we had our first child and one night, she made dinner. We must have not had much in the refrigerator so she made one of ...

My husband just made one for the kids using one of his hankies (a clean one, of course).

I didn't realize this was regional to Boston as well. It's my go to bread when I want to make a meatball sandwich. Toast it with some melted provolone cheese. Mmmmm....

I grew up eating Chinese (cantonese), family style. Now as an adult with an Irish American husband and two small children, I cook eclectically. We may have Thai one night, chicken pot pie the nex...

I made them once from the America's Test Kitchen recipe and it is now a family favorite.

For a quick and delicious meal, I cook ground beef with peas and onion, add some soy and oyster sauce for flavor. Serve it with rice and for added richness, add a fried egg on top. Yum!

I usually turn the pan upside down, trace it with a pencil and cut. I've never had a problem so far.

I bought that same paper to make some pretty chinese lanterns with my daughter.

Very pretty! I would love to see more of the house. I used to live in Melrose and have always loved the victorians in the area.

I grew up eating oxtail. I loved sucking the little cartilage off the bones. Yum. My mom just braised it with cans of whole tomatoes and carrots and we eat it with rice.

I love congee! I'm Chinese so I grew up on this. My favorite is with slivers of pork and preserved egg. When my children were babies, I would make batches of congee for them and would add anyth...

This one has got to be the winner. That is what I thought of when I first saw it. Beautiful!

We just bought the same bed for our son and it never occurred to me that I could use the crib mattress. Oh well.
