Year of the Rabbit Mooncakes

By
One good thing about being wrong about the date of Chinese New Year, I had an extra day to make my mooncakes.  Click here for the recipe.  But, as usual, I can't follow a recipe to save my life...even my own recipes! 

My Year of the Rabbit variations: instead of straight wheat flour I used a mix of rice flour, coconut flour, and white whole wheat flour.  And in my red bean filling, I added a dash of ginger syrup and powdered ginger for some added zing.  They are in the oven as I type, we'll see how they turn out.

    Oh that is so neat that you're making mooncakes. I've never made them before but I love to eat them.

    @Jenn, they were yummy. The dough, for some reason, puffed up during baking and when they flattened out again, the design was not as apparent. But they tasted great!

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found."

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

By
Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting  Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of  All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island.

Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday.  My boys have been to Oahu several times with my parents in recent years as my dad grew up there and wanted to spend some time on the island with his grandsons.
