As parents, we should never pass up an opportunity to learn and teach our children about other cultures. My husband is Filipino, so we've been exposed first-hand to Asian culture. We've been 'taught' to keep many of the customs that a typical Asian household may have. We don't use shoes inside my home, we use certain gestures when meeting and greeting elders on my husband's side of the family, and white rice is a staple in my cooking. As a family, we love and embrace this side of our culture - especially the food! So, when it comes to family movie night, it comes as no surprise that Disney's Mulan is a #1 choice in our DVD player. Since this week represents the 15th anniversary of the film, I thought I would share 7 of my favorite Asian recipes you can try while watching Mulan with the family! - By Liz Cerezo

When a recipe transforms winter vegetables into something bright and summery, you know you’ve stumbled upon something special. That’s exactly how this dish is; it has a tropical element despite being composed almost entirely of root vegetables. The vegetable base for the fish is like a hash, especially if you use mostly potato. (I used a combination of sweet potato, carrot, parsnip, and turnip.) A food processor with a grating blade will be tremendously helpful, unless you have a particularly good hand grater (and a fearless disregard for your knuckles).

The seasoning for the dish is simple, which highlights the natural sweetness of the veggies. I used a mild curry powder, but a spicier one could work too. If you stay with the sweet and mild theme, I think there’s even room in this dish for some fruit, like raisins, apple, plantains, or mango. While the vegetable mixture makes a great side dish here, it could easily stand alone without the fish, garnished

Happy National Pi Day! Today's holiday is based on the Greek symbol π, which is used to represent the mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter -- approximately equal to 3.14. Hey, any excuse to eat pie is fine with us!

Pies have become more popular as a wedding food in recent years, and with good reason. They evoke sweet, nostalgic feelings and are delicious in a variety of flavors. We love cherry and berry pies for summer weddings, and pecan and pumpkin pies for fall and winter weddings. Set up a pie bar with different types of pies for your guests to choose from and don't forget the milk! Here is more wedding pie inspiration.

While some celebrate mathematics on March 14, Pi Day, bakers everywhere celebrate pie.  No knocks on the number 3.14, known more formally by the 16th letter of the Greek alphabet π (are you having scary high school flashbacks yet?), but we think our approach is a little more fun, and more delicious by far.

In this recipe, a classic Key lime pie gets a double dose of coconut. A rich coconut milk custard filling is crowned with a cloud of whipped cream, then sprinkled with flakes of golden, toasted coconut. We call that infinite deliciousness.
