This is great for parties. My husband's cousins always bring this puto dish at every gathering. It is just not complete without it. The good news about this recipe is, that it is simple and quick, even a novice can do it. This is not your rice flour muffin, though. For this recipe, this is HALF of the normal recipe. If you are planning to make this for a party, then double the recipe. I try to use organic ingredients as possible... INGREDIENTS: Combine in a big bowl: 1 cup Organic Pancake Mix (I used Vermont Buttermilk & Honey Pancake Mix) or if unavailable use Bisquick 1/2 cup Organic milk (I used reduced fat, but you may use whole milk) 1/2 cup unbleached white sugar or Powdered Lakanto equivalent for sugarfree  1 organic egg few drops (1/8 tsp) of organic vanilla, optional few drops of organic food coloring, for each batch that u like to color the muffin (or omit ) Mix with a wooden spoon.

Okay, so during this Lenten Season I will challenge myself to cook a new Fish recipe every Friday. During the week the family usually eats chicken & turkey and beef. We are not really into fish as much as we should. Fish however should be incorporated into our diet as it promotes health benefits. Week 1: Pan Fried Tilapia with Buternut Squash over spinach salad . Week 2: Salmon in Lemon Brodetto sauce over Peas Puree

I tried 2 different recipes 2 days earlier, and I've finally chose this one as finally the one that works to my taste. Be mindful of the oil or shortening you use. EVOO (olive oil) will give a mild flavorful taste to the bun, you can settle with a vegetable oil that won't give off any tastes..maybe extra light or corn oil perhaps. You can also use softened organic unsalted butter. You want the dough to be sweet. The secret to a succesful siopao, is Patience and Practice. Don't forget to taste your dough, you can steam a small bit. Taste the filling as well before you make large batches. Ingredients: This will only yield 4 buns, once you have succesfully made 1st batch..you can make more. 1 1/2 c Unbleached or APF flour 1 package active dry yeast (smallsachet, estimate 3 tsps. ) 1/4 c sugar 1/2 c lukewarm water 2T vegetable oil or softened butter Heat 1/2 c water in microwave 40 seconds. Add 1 packet of active dry yeast, stir. Stir in 1/4 c white sugar. Wait 5 ...

I've heard of this dish before, somehow somewhere on TV...it sounds so foreign and yet so complicated, I thought to myself that If I ever learned how to make it, it would be great!

It was one those weeks of continuos snowstorms. I was in the mood to make my own dumplings since most of the dumplings in the Chinese restaurants are predominantly made of pork, I like to make mine with chicken or turkey. You can make this soup in a slow cooker/crockpot, in that way you can do other stuff around the house while you leave this on low, you will have a nice warm soup in the winter time. You can double up the recipe, and freeze the rest. Dumpling Ingredients: 1 lb ground turkey or chicken 1 medium carrot, chopped 1/2 white onioin, chopped 1 rib celery, chopped 2 green onions, sliced 3 cloves garlic, minced salt and pepper to taste 1T rice wine or sake 1 tsp sesame oil 1T soy sauce 1 egg Wonton Wrapper, store bought.
