I can’t believe it took me 15 years to visit Vietnam again. It has developed and changed so much. Parts of it have become unrecognizable to me, most notably the beach area of my hometown, Nha Trang. But as many differences there are to be found there’s still lots that has remained unchanged. The most important things to me (tastes and smells) can still be easily found. I tried to primarily eat at all the street food stalls and even found some sugarcane juice in a bag for only 10K dong (~50 cents, which was how much it cost me 15 years ago!). I also got to visit with family and see my family home. The wet market that I remember going to as a child was almost exactly as a remembered it, which made me super happy. I had a super long list of things to eat while I was there but alas the heat, humidity, and bouts of food illness took away some of those opportunities. I don’t have any regrets, however, because I don’t plan to wait so long until my next visit. I’ll definitely be brushing up on my Vietnamese until then because I will not stand for being giggled at again. #vietnamtravel #vietnam #vietnamesefood #vietnamesestreetfood

Anyone else like to cut up their watermelon like this? I did this in front of my MIL once and she was so appalled. I’m all about efficiency ????????♀️ Also I’ve been winning the #watermelon lottery all summer until this cracked one. It’s referred to as a hollow heart defect.

Sweeten up your Valentine’s Day with a homemade dessert, especially one that only requires five ingredients to create a rich, velvety custard with a crunchy caramelized layer, like crème brûlée. The best part? It can be made days in advance! In my recipe, I am using @farmersfinesteggs Free Range eggs from Alberta farmers. They are produced by hens that have the freedom to move around with minimal restrictions in a cage free, open concept barn, with access to roam outdoors. I believe happy chickens lay tastier eggs. Recipe available in comments. #ad #farmersfinesteggs #cremebrulee

Did a super fun soup dumpling shoot with @therealbuntcake a bit ago and almost forgot about these amazing photos. Dong also wanted another lesson in xiao long bao folding. I’m very lucky he’s a much more talented photographer than dumpling folder ???? ???? @therealbuntcake
