We are currently in Ohio with my mother spending some time with family that we don't get to see often. It's so great to have some help when it comes to looking after a nine month old who crawls literally everywhere. On top of all that, mom's cooking is a bonus. This Chinese-style chicken soup with my favorite spicy dipping sauce totally hits the spot in this snowy day up in the north. I am so thankful! 🙏⁣
What's one thing that your mom did recently to make you feel grateful?⁣

Hey, my dear IG family! 👋 It's been a while. Between looking after baby MAC (@jetsetmac) who has grown so much and some unexpected family stuff, plus lots of traveling, I was away for a bit and I have missed you. I hope you are well. ❤️ Pre-kid cooking and post-kid cooking are so different. Although I don't have much time anymore, I still try my best to keep a healthy eating habit. What's been working for me is batch cooking with really really simple ingredients and recipes.

Here’s one of the recipes that I came up with. It’s quick, simple, and so easy to make. I called it Loaded Pasta Sauce. It only requires four ingredients and it freezes well.

Ingredients
1 pound mild or spicy Italian sausage
1 ½ cups frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, green beans, corn, peas)
8 ounces sliced white mushrooms or baby bella mushrooms
1 25-ounce jar your preferred pasta sauce

Directions
1.Heat up a non-stick medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook sausage, breaking it up with your spatula, stirring often until the pink color starts to fade away.
2.Add frozen vegetables and mushrooms in the pan and toss all ingredients together until evenly combined.
3.Pour pasta sauce over, stir and let it cook until bubbly. Switch to low heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
4.Taste. Add salt and/or pepper if desired. (With the flavors from the sausage and store-bought pasta sauce, I found that I didn’t need to add any salt.) This whole thing takes about 20 minutes to put together and it yields generous six servings or eight regular servings. (I can make this without any stress when Marcus is napping.) To serve, simply cook some pasta and pour the cooked sauce loaded with sausage and vegetables over, sprinkle some shredded cheddar cheese to finish the meal. If you want, garnish it with chopped fresh parsley. To save time, I didn’t do the garnishing.

If you have a busy schedule, I hope this type of cooking and recipes serve you well.
Do you have a favorite way or recipe to follow that’s truly quick and easy as well as fits in your hectic schedule?

P.S. Sending you lots of 💕 from Ohio. It's snowing outside. ❄️

Brussels Sprouts Hash, ladies and gents! This recipe is from an upcoming cookbook East Bay Cooks authored by Carolyn Jung. The book features over forty signature recipes from the best restaurants, bars, and bakeries in East Bay. Hardcover copy releases on September 10, 2019. 🎉

I think this is a great cookbook to have. I have marked many recipes to try and my first try turned out fantastic!
The Brussels sprouts and potatoes are baked according to the recipe, but since I don't have an oven in HK, I sautéed them. Also, instead of adding a poached egg to each plate, I used sous vide eggs. Yum!
Check my story for the recipe. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend! ❤️

Any Downton Abbey fans out there? The long-awaited premiere of the Downton Abbey movie is going to be released in September. And just in time for premiere parties, celebratory afternoon teas, and pre-movie binges. Did you know that there's a cookbook that provides Downton fans with recipes for more than 150 dishes inspired by the award-winning series?? It's called The Unofficial Downton Abbey Cookbook, Expanded Edition by Emily Ansara Baines.

Pictured is Stuffed Leg of Lamb with Almond Fig Sauce from the book. "The Sunday roast was a traditional meal served at all middle-class homes, offered as proof to both the families themselves and to anyone visiting that they could afford such a feast. This dish, however, is rather fancy for a Sunday roast, and would likely be enjoyed as the roast course at Downton Abbey." Find the recipe in my stories!! 🍗

Our US trip ended with a beautiful weekend in Seattle. Baby MAC has been home in Hong Kong since yesterday. After 11 plane rides in a span of his six months of life time, this little man is considered well traveled. ✈️ Seattle highlight: Besides being a fantastic host, @disappointedbanana's pancake game is strong! Pictured are pancakes loaded with flaxseed and chia seeds, topped with grilled banana and freshly picked blueberries from her garden. 🥞 So freaking good!

"Ready for Morning Wood?" "What???"
"Breakfast." "Ohhhh..." If you happen to be in the bay area, this Japanese Hawaiian fusion breakfast & brunch restaurant named Morning Wood is a MUST try!

Pictured is Strawberry Bread Pudding, which was the only photo I managed to take since baby MAC wanted to sit on my laps. Super duper delicious! Not pictured is a whole lot of really impressed food such as loco moco and musubi, etc. (I don't get impressed by food easily but I was impressed by every single dish we ordered there.) Happy Friday and hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead! 🎉

P.S. Tonight, we are heading to Seattle which is our last stop on this very long US trip. SF / South SF has been colder than we expected (below 60F), so we are ready to get some sun from the summer in Seattle! 🌞
