Spring is definetely here so how about some fresh and crunchy spring rolls?! They are basically a salad conveniently wraped in a rice sheet. Here I will show you a pretty traditionnal way to make them but you can feel free to use any fillings you like: chicken, bell peppers, cooked eggs... Spring rolls are often served with peanut sauce wich can be spicy or not. This dish is really an asian food classic and its so easy to make, you can have the kids help you! I hope you enjoy :)

If you're a romantic but you can't afford a trip to paris, just make your loved one a sweet breakfast in bed! Making pancakes is pretty easy and quick and everybody loves them. Here, I show you how to shape them like hearts using a spatula and a large mesuring cup. I like to use strawberry jam in the batter to make it pinkish but if youre looking for a more vibrant color you can use frozen raspberries and let them thaw a few minutes. Otherwise, there's always the good old food coloring. Enjoy!
List of ingredients:
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
3 tbsp of strawberry jam
1 cup pastry flour
maple syrup
fruits on the side
Hot! Hot! Hot! Habanero chilies are some of the hottest in the world and Im using them in this chili recipe. If you don't want it as spicy you can replace them with jalapenos. Also here you will see I chose a beef shank. They are cheap and delicious when simmered in a sauce. You will have to remove it after it's cooked to cut it in small pieces. If that seems too complicated you can just use regular ground beef or stewing beef cubes. Paula Deen says you dont need a recipe for chili, you make it any way you want. Here's my version.
List of ingredients
1/2 pound bacon
1/2 large spanish onion
1/2 cup of each green, yellow and red bell peppers
4 cloves of garlic
2 habanero (for more heat, leave the seeds in)
1 large can of crushed tomatoes (+ water)
1 can or red kidney beans
maple syrup to taste (or any other sugar)
1 beef shank
1 tsp cumin
1 bay leaf
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp oregano
1tsp salt
1tsp pepper
1/4 tsp ground cloves
a handfull of fresh cilantro
**optionnal ** sharp cheddar and sour cream for topping
