Pasta with White Beans, Sausage, and Mustard Greens
I wanted to post a recipe that my wife made for me the first time she cooked me dinner. It was almost 30 years ago while we were just starting to date. The recipe itself is a good one and has become a family favorite over the years.

Mustard Greens, Clams and Fish Head Soup 芥菜大蜆魚頭湯
Fish head can be substituted with fish bones. If using a large fish head, have your fish monger chop the fish head into smaller pieces, approx. 6cm for easier frying. Besides clams, you can use razor clams or mussels. Add mung bean vermicelli or rice vermicelli to make it a meal. But be sure to put the fish head or fish bone in a fish bag to prevent bones from getting mixed with the vermicelli. It’s also common to add tofu, fish balls and preserved vegetables to this soup.

"Almost" Shack Stack Burger
Best part about making a burger at home is that you can add anything you want to it. I added bacon to my burger! You can also consider adding pickles, jalapenos, relish, or an egg. But in all seriousness, this burger is already pretty loaded and very yummy! I am definitely a meat lover, but I would be pretty happy eating it without the beef too!
