There are a few things in life that I cannot live without. One of them would be my ever-growing collection of Snapware food storage containers (both plastic and glass). I know I am not the only one who has an obsession with these life/food savers. They have an airtight lid so I don’t ever have to worry about spillage. I use Snapware containers for my lunch everyday and to store all my ingredients or leftovers. It has helped me immensely to be more organized in my kitchen. As a pastry chef, organization is everything. The same rule applies at home. The more organized you are, the more efficient you will be in the kitchen. With the daily stress of my overly busy life, anything that will help save time is greatly appreciated….
Fab Review: Angry Crab
Happy December! Time to remember and reflect all the great memories we had this year! Angry Crab brings me fond memories. My first experience with crawfish was filled with blunders. I didn’t know how to eat the little sea creatures and was embarrassed because it seemed like everyone else knew what they were doing. Good thing someone spoke up because we all realized that no one actually knew what they were doing. This was especially true since Chicago didn’t have too many crawfish joints at the time. By the time Angry Crab opened up in Chicago and crawfish became popular, my friends and I were already pros at the art of eating crawfish so I decided to create my own guide.
Here is my review of Angry Crab and a step-by-step guide on how to eat crawfish……

Fab Happenings: Top 5 Dim Sum in Chicago Chinatown
Let’s talk dim sum! You know you love it. These little small plates of heaven are made to be shared with friends and family since a couple of plates go a long way. As a child who grew up in a Cantonese family, I had dim sum almost every Sunday. Traditionally, dim sum used to be reserved for the weekends only, where we would get together with the extended family for some tapas style dining. Now, it’s transcended to the rest of the week and it can be enjoyed any day….
