Kimi's Mixed Plate: June 2009
http://kimismixedplate.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
The online cookbook of a fledgling foodie. Wednesday, June 24, 2009. Oday was our 9th wedding anniversary, and I woke to the aroma of potato latkes. Frying on the stove. Brandon made them just the way I like them, brown and crispy, with my favorite dipping sauce - soy sauce and minced garlic. Growing up in Hawaii, my best friend was a hapa. Latkes and soy sauce exemplies what is best about Hawaii - it's colorful, mixed-plate culture. Sunday, June 21, 2009. Father's Day with a Twist. Unday was Brandon's f...

Kimi's Mixed Plate: Oatmeal Pecan Cookies for Kids
http://kimismixedplate.blogspot.com/2010/05/oatmeal-pecan-cookies-for-kids.html
The online cookbook of a fledgling foodie. Tuesday, May 4, 2010. Oatmeal Pecan Cookies for Kids. Recently made a batch of Auntie Sharon's favorite polenta cookies, and of course, Emi got to try a few. They were an instant hit with my 18-month-old, and pretty soon the sound of Emi squawking "Coca, coca, coca" was ringing through the house - all day long. So I did a little online research and came up with this adaptation of Ina Garten's Raisin Pecan Oatmeal Cookie recipe. 1 1/2 cups pecans, toasted. Sugar,...

Kimi's Mixed Plate: Five Dollar Plate: Marylou's Adobo
http://kimismixedplate.blogspot.com/2010/04/five-dollar-plate-marylous-adobo.html
The online cookbook of a fledgling foodie. Tuesday, April 20, 2010. Five Dollar Plate: Marylou's Adobo. Any, many months ago, my good friend, Marylou, gave me her recipe for traditional, Filipino adobo. And for many, many months it sat, untouched, in my email box. The ingredients were simple enough - pork or chicken, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic - but the method of simmering the meat for an hour, then browning it in a skillet, was foreign to me. I served it over long-grain, white rice with half a bag of TJ...

Kimi's Mixed Plate: Keiki Plates
http://kimismixedplate.blogspot.com/p/keiki-plates.html
The online cookbook of a fledgling foodie. Nce upon a time, getting our daughter to eat her veggies was a a breeze. She absolutely loved my broccoli vichyssoise. For breakfast she'd either have homemade applesauce with baby oatmeal, or an organic spinach and monterey jack cheese omelet. Brandon and I used to congratulate ourselves for producing such an awesome gourmand. The moment Emi started walking, she suddenly turned into the picky toddler all the mommy books warned me about. His recipe is adapted fr...

Kimi's Mixed Plate: February 2010
http://kimismixedplate.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
The online cookbook of a fledgling foodie. Friday, February 5, 2010. Gung Hay Fat Choy! The Chinese equivalent of afternoon te. A, dim sum is an assortment of small dishes including, steamed and fried dumplings, cakes, noodles, sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaves and savory meats, distributed through the restaurant on rolling carts and served with pots of hot tea. So when my mom brought over a couple of taro roots, I decided to make standard dim sum fare, woo. Or taro cake, in honor of Chinese New Year.

Kimi's Mixed Plate: One Scone, or Two?
http://kimismixedplate.blogspot.com/2010/05/one-scone-or-two.html
The online cookbook of a fledgling foodie. Friday, May 14, 2010. One Scone, or Two? Ast week the playgroup Emi and I go to had a Mother's Day potluck in the park, and as usual, I was scrambling around at the last minute, searching the cupboards for something to bring. Then I spied a package of cream cheese in the fridge and instantly I knew what I to make. Dug out an old Bon Appetit scone recipe. Like the scones recipe, this version of Devonshire cream is really simple and super yummy. It also goes g...

Kimi's Mixed Plate: April 2010
http://kimismixedplate.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
The online cookbook of a fledgling foodie. Sunday, April 25, 2010. Few years ago, I put together a cookbook for my brother-in-law and his wife using favorite family recipes from my mother-in-law, Jacque, who got many of them from her. Mother-in-law, Grandma Pete. I figured it would be a pretty easy gift to make - type up the recipes, write an intro, slap on some photos and I'm done. We always serve on Christmas Eve. Others, however, proved more challenging to decipher. But Grandma Pete's Shrimp Salad - o...
