I wanted my usual Sunday pancakes today but because it’s Halloween, I wanted to dress it up. I ate bats for breakfast today. Three bats to be exact. I used my chocolate protein pancake recipe and cut the pancakes in half using zip zag patterns to make the bat wings. The idea for the bat […]
Rain rain go away. It was raining early this morning but the sun finally came out in the afternoon. I was productive with studying in the afternoon and was very excited to go to a family party afterwards. Tonight we celebrated a very special birthday for my goddaughter Natalie. It special because it marked her […]
It’s Friday, BEE Happy!!!! My niece Jazzy a few years ago 🙂 Flashback Friday Exactly a year ago from today, I was on vacation in Boston. We had planned the trip in the summer not paying close attention to our travel dates and realized that we will be out of town during Halloween. Boston […]
Accidental tasty salad. Sometimes random leftovers make great meals. The week is coming to an end, which means I am trying to eat all the leftovers before cooking a whole new batch of dishes. A mish mash of flavors that surprisingly went well together. A bed of arugula and fresh spinach, tossed in Shiitake Sesame Vinaigrette. […]

With family staying with us for the holidays, my usual morning routine has changed. I’m spending more time chatting and catching up in the morning and we are also eating more food than usual. Since I’m not cooking just for myself anymore, one way that I’ve streamlined breakfast is to prep the ingredients the night […]
After a week of being in the hospital, my mom is back home with us. She was discharged yesterday after her tests came out negative. We are still watching her very closely. She will continue to see her doctors regularly and soon she will be wearing a heart monitor device so the doctors can keep […]

thinking January was a loooong month. I’m ready for February and all the hearts and chocolates baking banana chocolate bread. Rainy days are our baking days, and we’ve had many rainy days in the past week going to the Zoo. It was cold and wet and we jumped thru a lot of muddy […]
Having eaten the delicious Thai soup a few days ago, I craved hot soup every day this week. I craved it because it is still very chilly outside and partly because it helped soothe my sore throat, which I can happily say is all gone. Yippee! With unlimited amount of coconut milk around the house that […]
