Asian Lunch Ideas!

I just got back from a fun 3 week trip to Taiwan where I spent most of my time in the main city of Taipei. It has been 5 years since I last went back to visit, but the food scene was still as good as I remembered it. I filmed a few Vlogs when I went back, so do check those out if you're interested in the culture and travel, and when I get settled back into my normal routine, I'll try and post photos and addresses of my favorite foodie places in case you guys wanted to try those out for yourself the next time you're in Taipei! 😁

Below are my 8 recommendations for what you should consider adding to your menu.

A very traditional sweet dessert made from sticky rice, the name of this cake literally means "higher year". Steamed, then served as is, or lightly pan fried, this dish tastes like warm sweet mochi.

I love looking for new kitchen gadgets and tools! This month, I had a lot of fun shopping for neat gift ideas for my Holiday Edition Kitchen Favorites video.

This month's favorites features 10 products, some small enough for stocking suffers and some already boxed for gifting. If you haven't watched the video yet, check it out .

I can't believe it's already Back-to-School time! Summer felt like it went by so quick. Luckily I have a cure for the back to school blues. . . Asian Style Bento Boxes for the kids, or for yourself to take to work. These 3 bento box ideas are delicious and include a healthy portion of veggies too. Check out my video to see these lunch boxes and get inspired to make them yourself too!
