We are already heading towards fall! Can you believe it?

Sometimes I feel time passes by so quickly. And I have no idea where it all goes.

But with fall just a few days away, I feel it’s time to get ready to celebrate!

There are so many reasons to gather and celebrate this season!

It could be that your favorite sports team is playing and you’re having a watch party with family and friends. It could be that someone you know is celebrating a birthday. It could be that Halloween is just around the corner. It could be that you’re planning your Thanksgiving dinner.

I know, it sounds like it’s far away, but it’s coming up soon.

My family is already thinking about what we’re making for Thanksgiving. Not kidding.

Since I come from an Asian family, we always have a mix of foods, a combination of American and Asian foods.

And one of my favorites? Eggrolls with a sweet and spicy chili lime dipping sauce.

There’s something about the crunchiness of eggrolls loaded with vegetables, shrimp, chicken, or pork that’s just so addicting.

And how can I eat my favorite appetizers and snacks without a dipping sauce, right?

Happy Halloween!

What are you doing this weekend? Any trick-or-treating? Any parties? Any costumes? I’d love to hear from you!

I don’t usually do anything for Halloween. Maybe it’s because my sisters and I never dressed up as kids so as we grew up, Halloween isn’t as big of a deal.  I’m actually much more excited about the start of the Countdown to Christmas on Hallmark Channel. Please tell me someone feels the same way so we can talk about these movies in the weeks to come. I pretty much spend every weekend up to Christmas anticipating the release of a brand new Hallmark Original Christmas movie each weekend. I don’t care how predictable these movies are. They all have happy endings. And that’s really all I’m looking for in Christmas movies. Because who doesn’t want that nice warm feeling during the holidays? Does anyone else do that? Or is it just me? This only applies to movies. lol. I get tired of Christmas songs fast.

One of my favorite things about chili is that there’s soo much flavor. There are so many spices that go into one pot of chili that there’s always a little surprise for your palate. The smokiness, the tartness, the spiciness, the sweetness. Seriously. Sooo good.
