This unusual holiday season calls for unusual traditions. Holiday shopping all done through the internet; small dinner instead of large gatherings; celebrating with families and friends through Zoom calls. It’s not ideal, but this is just temporary. Hang it there!

In the meantime, treat yourself good with something nice this holiday season. We all deserved it. I got myself a bunch of tasty cookies from Hawaii. Even though it’s something small, but that makes me happy! What makes you happy this holiday season?

Today, I’m sharing one of the easiest side dishes either for the holidays or just a regular dinner, Brown Sugar Mashed Sweet Potatoes. Vibrant color, creamy and a little sweet. It’s perfect to go with something hearty and rich, like steaks, BBQ ribs, prime ribs or braised beef.

Just like mashed potatoes, start off by boiling sweet potatoes until they’re fork tender. Sweet potatoes take much less time to cook, only about 20 minutes. Once cooked, mash them with a masher or large fork. Then, add tiny bit of butter and warm milk. Stir until combined and creamy. Last, stir in a little of brown sugar and maybe a pinch of salt. That’s it. No other seasoning is needed. Ready to serve!

Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas! Stay healthy and eat well!

Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes (about 20 ounces total)
  • ½ tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2/3 cup whole milk
  • 2 – 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Peel and rinse the sweet potatoes. Cut into 2-inch pieces. Put them in a medium pot with cold water, and make sure the water covers the sweet potatoes completely. Season with a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once the water starts to boil, simmer and cook until the sweet potatoes are fork tender, about 15 – 20 minutes.
  • Drain the sweet potatoes, and return them to the pot (no heat). Mashed them with a masher or large fork until there is no lump.
  • Meanwhile, heat the milk in the microwave for 45 seconds or until warm.
  • Add the butter and 1/3 cup warm milk into the mashed sweet potatoes, stir together. If needed, add more warm milk to reach a consistency that you prefer. Stir in 2 tablespoons (not all) brown sugar. Taste and adjust with more sugar if needed. Serve immediately.

Notes

  1. Any brown sugar will do.
  2. If you prefer the mashed sweet potatoes to be less creamy, you can use hot water (or the water that used to boil the sweet potatoes).

Growing up, I looked forward to my mom’s mango p Growing up, I looked forward to my mom’s mango pudding every summer. That creamy & soft pudding is loaded w/ tons of fresh mangoes. My version is pretty much the same, but I switch out the mango-flavored gelatin mix for fresh mangoes. It tastes incredible & brings me back to my childhood right away! It was the perfect dessert when I was a kid, and it’s still the most satisfying dessert today! 🥭

Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to is a cheeseburger w/ extra toasted bun & onion. Bryan likes his double-double w/ onion. The fries were perfectly crispy, and I like to dip them in the spread sauce. Please order me 2 fries next time!😂 How do you like your In-N-Out?
Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice Cream is creamy, little vanilla-y w/ bits of blueberries & a hint of thyme. That vibrant blueberry swirls also makes the prettiest purple color too! I made this ice cream using my blueberry thyme jam, so it’s very easy.🫐🍨

Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Thyme Jam! Sweet, lemony & earthy. A nice surprising combo, but both blueberry & thyme compliment each other really well. I once served this once w/ a slice of Basque cheesecake, & it was fantastic! The jam is good on all sort of things, like yogurt and charcuterie board. 🫐

When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cell When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cellophane Noodles in Clay Pot (沙嗲牛肉粉絲煲) definitely is up there on the top. One of my favorites to order in Hong Kong! It’s hearty & rich. That tender beef & noodles are coated w/ a savory & slightly sweet satay sauce. Little kick from the chili & the earthiness from the mushroom. Bold flavors! Please just give me a bowl of rice already! Btw, this takes only 30 mins to put together, which makes a great weeknight dish.

Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re ba Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re back! It closed down during the pandemic & eventually was selling sweet & savory pies for a while. Once we heard Maude was about to reopen, we made reservation. It’s a 9-course tasting menu w/ the focus on California cuisine this time. Everything was incredible. We chose to sit on the chef’s table & watched them plating & cooking. Precision & speed w/ lots of components. We had our many firsts, like cactus, caviar, & black truffle. Our favorites of the night were caviar w/ peas, abalone & bread w/ aged butter. We really love this place & look forward to going back soon!
