A swirling twirling ratatouille that will delight any dinner guest:) I also love changing up this recipe with different veggies and it's perfect for a lowkey weeknight meal. There's minimal clean up since you're making it all in one cast iron skillet! Vegetables (varies depending on size of vegetables): 1 Big Eggplant or 2 small eggplants 4 roma tomatoes 1 large yellow squash (like the one I have!) or 2 medium size squashes 1 large zucchini or 2 medium size zucchinis Sauce: 28 oz. can of crushed tomatoes 3 Tbsp olive oil 1/2 large onion diced 3 cloves of garlic minced 1 yellow bell pepper 1 red bell pepper 1/4 c. chopped fresh basil salt and pepper to taste Seasoning: 1/4 c. Fresh basil chopped 1/4 c. chopped parsley Salt and pepper to taste 6 Tbsps of olive oil Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Slice all veggies approx 1/16 inch thick discs then set aside (my eggplant was big so I halved the discs and made sure the round side was on the top when placed into the skillet). Drizzle olive oil in cast iron skillet. Saute onion, garlic and peppers till softened and season with salt/pepper. Add crushed peppers and stir and cook for a minute or so. Toss in basil and remove cast iron from heat. Arrange veggies in desired way and place them clockwise or counterclockwise on the sauce starting from the outside working your way towards the middle of the skillet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt/pepper. Mix seasoning ingredients together (basil, parsley, salt, pepper and olive oil) and sprinkle on top of veggies. Save a 1/4 of the seasoning to garnish at the end. Cover the skillet with foil and bake for 40 mins. Uncover and cook for an additional 20 mins. Make sure that you let ratatouille cool before digging in. --

A simple and yet impressive meal for your favorite dinner guest - it takes five minutes to prepare and ready to serve in 30 mins or less. You can also adjust the recipe to your liking using ricotta cheese, olives, marinated veggies and whatever your heart desires. Ingredients: 4 chicken breasts - filet and pounded to 1/4 inch thickness (make sure it’s not too thin) 1 Tbsp of iris Liam seasoning Salt/pepper Mozzarella log (I used about 12 oz of the 16 oz package of mozzarella log that I purchased at Trader Joe’s) 1 1/2. c spinach Sun dried tomatoes (packed in oil is preferred) 8 oz. 2 tsp oil Chopped basil for garnish Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place chicken on work surface and stuff with sun dried tomato, cheese and spinach leaves. Just stuff in as much as you can (I try to make sure every bite has some cheese;) Seal with toothpicks (you’ll remove this after it’s cooked in the oven before serving). Sprinkle salt/pepper and Italian seasoning on top. Heat oil in an ovenproof skillet over high heat. Add chicken and cook for 1 1/2 minutes on each side, or until golden. Transfer to oven and cook for 15 minutes. Let the chicken rest for 3 minutes, top with some fresh chopped basil for garnish before serving.

Nothing better than Mama Kwan in the house to watch some Olympics together! Can’t wait for the gymnastics (no spoilers please!!). 1 lb tilapia (2 fillets) or cod/catfish 1 tablespoon of tajin (you can get this at most US supermarkets) 1 tablespoon chili powder 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon lime juice, about 1 lime 1 tablespoon olive oil Side: 1 15 oz. black bean 1 1/2 c. Frozen roasted corn (thawed) 1/3 chopped cilantro 1 clove of garlic minced 1/2 red onion finely chopped Jalapeño finely chopped (optional) 1 tablespoon of olive oil Rinse and pat dry tilapia. Mix spices (cumin, tajin, chili powder, salt, pepper & cayenne) in a small bowl. Squeeze lime juice and coat tilapia then dust spices onto tilapia covering both sides of fish. Heat oil on medium heat and cook fish for 4-5 mins on both sides (depending on thickness). Set aside and keep warm. Using the same pan heat olive oil, toss in garlic, and onions and sauté for a minute. Add corn and beans and cook thorough for 2 mins until warm. Lightly fold in cilantro. Plate black bean/corn and then serve with tilapia. Enjoy!! And, Go USA 🇺🇸

In the wake of the increase in violence against Asian Americans, I’ve recently engaged with @publicwise & Onward Together to organize a virtual fundraising event that benefits the National Asian Pacific American Women’s Forum - a national organization dedicated to building power for AAPI women and girls. #AAPIWomenstrong #stopasianhate @hillaryclinton @lucyliu @oliviamunn @padmalakshmi @msleasalonga @margaret_cho @mayaharris_

Repost @oniceperspectives • After watching @the.skate.kid ’s performance to Andra Day’s uplifting anthem on Black Lives Matter Plaza last June, and seeing her perform again on TV at yesterday’s inauguration, it became clear to me just how much the art of skating can and always has affected our national identity. ❄️ We filmed this on Christmas Day 2018 (hence the crowd!). MK has devoted her entire post-Olympic career to public service, first the U.S. Department of State, and then to the Clinton and Biden campaigns, as a public envoy for diplomacy and outreach. And it won’t stop there. ❄️ Thank you Kaitlyn Saunders (@the.skate.kid ), Michelle Kwan, Andra Day and the millions of hearts and artists out there who made yesterday possible. Let’s keep rising up, and fighting for a better, more diverse, tolerant, and inclusive future, for our sport and our world. __⛸ ❄️ __🎥 Jordan @oniceperspectives __⛸ @michellewkwan __👣 Choreo @karenwkwan __🎵 Rise Up @andraday __📍 @iceatsantamonica @dtsantamonica __🗓 December 25, 2018 ❄️ #andraday #michellekwan #iceskating #figureskating #kaitlynsaunders #oniceperspectives #iceskate #figureskate #iceskater #figureskater #icerink #icedance #patinage #patinaje #patinadores #pattinaggio #patinajeartistico #patinageartistique #pattinaggioartistico #patinajesobrehielo #フィギュアスケート #피겨스케이팅 #фигурноекатание #icedancing
