I am so relieved that today is a holiday – because it means my husband gets to stay at home. I’ve been having one of those weekends – sick in bed. All day. Yesterday, I watched “Downton Abbey” on Netflix all day. I was hogging my wii remote and watching the show while my husband [...]
Good morning everyone! And…. Happy Valentine’s day!! Or some of you might say, “Single Awareness Day”, lol But who says Valentine’s day is only for couples? It’s for everybody – your friends, parents, siblings, children, etc. I went to Walmart yesterday to get Valentine presents for my boys – my hub and my two boys. [...]
I adore Garam Masala seasoning as it includes some of my favorite spices such as cumin, coriander, cardomom, pepper, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. I purchased my garam masala when my husband and I went to an Indian store a while ago – however, you can find it as the spice aisle at most grocery stores [...]
I saw this fantastic recipe on Better Homes and Gardens and I knew that I had to try it out. I love curry. All kinds. I have tried so many different kinds of curry in the past three years. I love curry pretty much from every culture. Japanese, Thai, Indian, Nepali, Middle Eastern, you name [...]
I have a confession. I dislike eggplants – not hate – just dislike. I have never been a big fan of eggplants. I don’t like the texture and it tastes kinda funky (to me). But every once in a while, I do try different eggplant recipes in the hopes I’ll like it. There is a [...]
We had some guests over for dinner last night. I made some meatballs with bulgogi sauce, brown rice, sweet potato fries…. AND this broccoli dish! I am always looking for a new way to cook broccoli and the honey dijon mustard sauce was a very good one! The texture of the broccoli wasn’t soggy but [...]
I finally got my chips maker! Hooray! I thought about getting a Pampered Chef one – but I decided to go with something a little cheaper. I got this chips maker on Amazon for $19. It comes with a slicer and a chips maker. I’ve been making chips every once in a while using apples, [...]
I am not sure how and where exactly this sandwich originated from but I’m assuming France because of the name. But please, if anyone wants to clarify the origins and more, feel free to do so. I love some of the names of sandwiches. So unique and original. I should really study where these names [...]
I’ve been eating sandwiches for lunch lately to try and eat healthier. I’ve been stacking my sandwiches with less meat but more veggies that I love, such as pepperoncini, sprouts, tomatoes, lettuce, etc. And I feel pretty full even though it was only half a sandwich.
These wraps? Delicious and it does taste like enchiladas except it’s cold and there’s no sauce over the wraps. But these wraps were delicious with creamy cream cheese and other yummy fillings inside the wraps.
I’ve been cooking different kinds of soup lately and I love them all. I love soup. I love that I can enjoy a great meal in one bowl. And they are so filling, too, which is perfect because I feel full after dinner even if I have a smaller bowl. I’ve been trying to lose [...]
I love the flavor of coconut. I love coconut milk. I love coconut milk in curry and soup. So yes, this soup is definitely one of my favorites. I have been following a diet plan that I’ve come up with since New Year’s. I’ve been making lots of soups because 1) They taste good 2) [...]
Before this night, I had never tried making my own tomato soup… and boy, was I missing out? I loved this homemade, super easy tomato soup. It wasn’t super tomato-ey, either. I loved all the spices and other vegetables in this soup. We had this soup with some delicious meatball subs (I’ll post about them [...]
Some time ago, I was invited to a Pampered Chef Party – and I was amazed by their slicer. They showed us how thin it could slice a potato and as soon as they made non fat potato chips with the potatoes it sliced, I knew I had to own the slicer. I was so [...]
Can you believe that it was my very first time trying acorn squash? I’ve been seeing a lot of acorn squash recipes lately and I knew it was time to try them out. And wow, I think acorn squash is probably my new favorite. First of all, It’s NOT hard to cut at all! My [...]
One of many things I miss about Korea is their food – especially all kinds of fish dishes I used to have. My mom always “reminds” me that I used to love, love fish growing up. When I went back to Korea three years ago, my mom made sure that she got all of my [...]
