Alright, guys, get your crockpot out because I have an amazing crockpot recipe for you. I love using my slow cooker when I am busy or when I feel a little lazy. Most slow cooker recipes require very simple and quick preparation – like this one, just combine all ingredients together and press that “high” [...]

Do you like noodle dishes? I do. Maybe a little too much. If I was forced to choose eat only one kind of food for the rest of my life, I think I’d choose noodles. Really, any kind of noodles. Rice noodles, chow fun noodles, udon noodles, Korean ramen noodles, I can’t even list all [...]

I. love. orzo. I had never tried orzo until a couple of years ago when I found a wonderful parmesan orzo recipe (I should make it soon so I can share it here). Orzo looks like rice but it’s not. It’s actually a kind of pasta noodles. It’s little so it’s great in soups. This [...]

Like I said in the past, my husband is a great cook. He makes great Japanese food. He lived in Japan for two years as a missionary for our [...]

Chicken fried rice – healthified – less oil, less sodium… more vegetables and wonderful flavors. I have always loved homemade chicken fried rice. Sometimes fried rice can be too oily or too salty… I absolutely hate fried rice that tastes like it was soaked in soy sauce for days. I can’t stand it! I added [...]

My husband is happy because I cook more at home. I kind of stopped cooking when I had my second boy… I’ve having sleeping problems since… and I still am. But it’s getting better… When you don’t sleep, you don’t usually have energy to do anything. Between that and taking care of two little ones, [...]
