Ham and Egg Savory Crepes – Easter Sunday Brunch Recipe




Do you have any plans for Easter Sunday yet?  It’s such a lovely time to celebrate; the meaning of new life, the warming up of temperature, and the aroma of the blooming Spring flowers, etc.  Today, I wanted to share with you a beautiful Easter Sunday Brunch Recipe that you can prepare for your family.  Check out the Ham and Egg Savory Crepes video tutorial above if you haven’t done so.  I’ll show you step-by-step on how to prepare these crepes and assemble them together.

Of course, this recipe is probably good all year around, and not just on Easter.  But the gorgeous and slightly runny egg yolk in the middle simply reminds me of Spring and Easter.  Best of all, you can prepare the crepes the day before.  So, when brunch time rolls around, you can assemble and bake these off in no time!

Besides ham and egg, I also used some smoked mozzrella cheese in these savory crepes.  You can use any grated cheese that you like, such as gouda, cheddar, or even goat cheese.  Pretty much any cheese that you like that melt nicely when heated up.

The bake time in this recipe is important because you want to make sure the egg whites are cooked and the yolks stays runny.   I baked my crepes for exactly 12 minutes with room temperature, large size eggs.  If you use larger eggs or taking the eggs out of the fridge right before baking, they might take a minute or two longer to cook.  Simply check on the crepes at 12 minutes mark on their done-ness and determine if they need additional bake time.

Rainbow Dark Chocolate Bars–Healthy and All Natural Toppings





Next Thursday, March 17th, is St. Patrick’s Day.  I love special occasions because they give me reasons to indulge, without feeling too guilty.  That’s the only time of the year when I prepare Corned Beef and cabbage for my family.  Yes, only once a year.  How about you?  Do you serve Corned Beef more often than once a year?  Speaking of celebration and indulgence without guilt, this Rainbow Dark Chocolate Bar definitely fits these categories!  Click on the YouTube video tutorial above to check out how to make it.  It’s super easy and fun!

My Daughter and I were working on her school project “Trap the Leprechaun” for St. Patrick’s Day.  She decorated her project with a hugh 3D rainbow across a shoebox (a.k.a. the trap).  My Daughter’s plan was to put gold pots at the end of the rainbow and doubled sided tapes inside the shoebox to “trap” the Leprechaun.  Will this trap work?  I am not sure.  But one thing I know for sure is that the colorful rainbow makes me feel happy and its so pleasant to look at!  That inspired me to create these Rainbow Dark Chocolate Bars.

These Rainbow Dark Chocolate Bars are topped with colorful and all natural toppings that are healthy and good for you.  You can use any ingredients that you like to create the rainbow color pattern.  I simply used whatever I had on hand.  Also, I tempered the dark chocolate to make the chocolate bars, click here to read more about tempering chocolate if you’re interested.    Did you know that there are many health benefits of eating dark chocolate?  It’s packed with antioxidants and can help lower blood pressure.  Of course, moderation is the key to any treats.  You can read more here if you’re interested.

Here are the ingredients that I used to create the rainbow pattern; freeze dried strawberries for the red; orange zest for the orangelemon zest for the yellow; Matcha (Japanese green tea powder) for the green; dried Blue Mallow for the blue; and dried lavender buds for the purple!  Also, be sure to use organic oranges and lemons especially when you’re using the zest.  As for the dried blue mallow, I got them from a tea shop.  It creates the most beautiful and dreamical blue colored tea!  You can read more about its benefits here if you’re interested.  The flavor is subtle and slightly floral.  I’ll list all the ingredients and tools that I used at the end of the post for your reference.

Coconut Mango Mochi Roll (椰汁香芒糯米卷)





When I saw my favorite Ataulfo mangoes in the market the other day, I was so excited!  I almost purchased all that they had put on the shelves, seriously!  I simply can’t resist these sweet, fragrant, and juicy mangoes.  If you haven’t check out my previous recipe and video on how to make Mango Panna Cotta yet, you’re missing out.  Simply click here to get that recipe as well!

Onto these Coconut Mango Mochi Roll (椰汁香芒糯米卷), they are absolutely one of my favorite mango treats.  The mochi part of this dessert is not overly sweet,  therefore, I recommend that you use the ripest mangoes that you have on hand.  The filling is refreshing, juicy, and fragrant, thanks to the gorgeous mangoes.  The coconut mochi layer on the outside gives this dessert a slightly sweet and chewy texture because of the glutinous rice flour.  With a hint of coconut flavor on the outside, it compliment the mango fillings perfectly.  This is also a naturally gluten-free treat because of the types of flours that I used.  See the list of ingredients at the bottom of this post for your reference.
