Wonderful News and Easter Brunch Idea

If you’re still searching for an Easter Brunch recipe, look no further.  I have a great suggestion for you.  Brie and Prosciutto Tart!  Yes, I know I’ve blog about this recipe before.  It’s worth revisiting because….guess what?  I’ve won the Grand Prize on the Country Woman Magazine’s Breakfast & Brunch Recipe Contest with this recipe.  Woohoo….



I’m thrilled and honored that my recipe is featured on Country Woman Magazine’s April/May issue.  Check it out at the news stand and get a copy if you haven’t.  There are many other delicious recipes, crafting ideas (which I can definitely use some tips on), gardening tips and so much more.  Check out the beautiful picture (below) of the tart that they’ve re-created.  I love it. 



So, are you convinced to give this recipe a try?  I hope you are.    Best of all, you can prebake the crust the day before and only prepare the filling on the day you plan to serve this tart.  While the tart is baking, you can prepare a side salad or pour yourself a glass of mimosa and relax.    Wish you all a Happy Easter Weekend.

Pork Chops with Vegetable Rice (排骨菜飯)—An award winning recipe, no kidding!

I meant to share this delicious recipe with you all since a while back but never got a chance to do so.  There were always something that got in the way.  Either I had a new dessert creation that I couldn’t wait to post (that happened more than once), or like the giveaway post that’s time sensitive (I want to make sure the winners get the prize(s) before Valentine’s Day).  And the most recent Culinary Smackdown Battle!  By the way, if you haven’t enter your cookie recipe for the Battle, come join us for the fun here.

However, I have a big reason to share this recipe with you sooner, like now!  Yes, you’ve got it, this recipe that just won the Asian Home Cooking Contest!  I’m so thrilled and couldn’t be more happy to share this great news and this wonderful recipe with you.   It’s a wonderful feeling knowing someone out there appreciate your recipe and the love you put into your dishes.

Pork Chops with Vegetable Rice (排骨菜飯) is a Classic ShangHai dish. My husband and I both love ShangHai cuisine and this is what I would make whenever we crave for the 排骨菜飯. This Pork Chops with Vegetable Rice is comforting, delicious and satisfying. Of course, I put my own little twist on the recipe by adding the shallots toppings.  They are delicious!  Just make sure you get the bone-in, thin cut type of pork chops.  That way, the cooking time is shorter and you’ll get moist and juicy pork chops with a flavorful crust. 



Click here for the link of the recipe that I submitted to the contest.  This site have quite many other Asian dishes as well.  Although I haven’t try others’ recipes, but they all look wonderful and delicious.  Be on the lookout for their next recipe contest.  I can’t wait to see what the theme will be. 
Thank you for stopping by today and have a wonderful week.
