Thai Pineapple Fried Rice
Of all the vegetable fried rice dishes I have sampled over the years in the US and abroad, pineapple fried rice has to be one of my absolute favorite. I have had it in Thai, Malaysian, and Indonesian restaurants. It is totally different from Chinese fried rice. It has a beautiful golden color, an almost […]
Eggless Mini Pepper Quiche
Mini eggless pepper quiche! What made me think about this? I found an old black and white photo of my grandmother and I when I was 4 years old. It brought back so many happy memories!
