Favorite Recipes
Staying Healthy is the most important. So I emphasize healthy and easy cooking without sacrificing good taste. I use less oil, salt, and sugar. And I try to avoid high temperature frying. Instead, I mostly steam or stew food, or make soup. Less frequently I saute food, but Dan does this a lot. I also bake Chinese and western desserts for my kids. But my dessert is not very sweet. Artificial color, artificial flavor, preservatives, and baking soda containing aluminum are avoided. My ingredients are mostly organic. I buy them from Whole Foods, Raley's, and Trader Joe's. I am sharing some of my favorite recipes here.
