Comfort during the blizzard: Vietnamese spinach soup with pork meatballs over rice

The Banh Mi sandwich: the perfect example of the blending of cultures during the French occupation of Vietnam.

My go-to comfort standard: zucchini-carrot-walnut muffin with cream cheese frosting.

Thin crust square pizza made my way. Mmmmmmmmm...

So pretty!

New Year's Day bread pudding made with leftover plain Panettone cake from Christmas. Nothing goes to waste!

New Year's Eve heartiness: Pancetta, white beans and Swiss chard pot pies. Thanks @smittenkitchen for the recipe!

The best thing to do with leftover mashed potatoes: croquettes stuffed with ham and cheese!

Non-traditional Christmas dinner: Pho Dac Biet Bo Vien

#Veggie #Entree: Charred white cloud cauliflower with marash pepper, braised baby carrots and aged sherry. Definitely #ironchef worthy.
