Thanks to @summ_foods, my dumpling salad is full o Thanks to @summ_foods, my dumpling salad is full of flavor, crunch, and a taste of tradition. These fully cooked dumplings are ready to go right from the fresh deli section, making it easier than ever to enjoy a comforting meal without the hassle. I’ve always loved how dumplings are a part of my culture, and incorporating them into my meals today is a way of staying connected to my roots. Whether it’s in a simple dish or a fun twist like this dumpling salad, it’s the little things that remind me of where I come from. Food is more than just nourishment—it’s a piece of home, a link to my heritage, and a reminder of the traditions I carry with me every day. #foodwithheart #AAPIwithSUMM #easyrecipe #homecooking #dumplingsalad
This is the best classic croissant in town 🥐 @c This is the best classic croissant in town 🥐 @cheznous.bakery is the newest cafe on the block in @iyaletown and they already have a very loyal and busy following. Their croissants are classic, flakey and buttery. When you bite in you’ll get a cascade of crumbs in your lap - exactly the way a croissant should be. 

Definitely give them a try!
