At the beginning of the year, I told myself to try a new recipe every week. Any recipe, whether as complicated as baking bread from scratch, to dinner recipes and as simple as simple side dish or a smoothie recipe. It’s just a simple challenge that I try to do, to avoid ruts in the […]
trying out Texture magazine for the last three months. I loved it, when I found the time to use it. Since I barely logged in during the promo period, I will have to cancel the app. Maybe I’ll reactivate in the summer months, when there are more leisurely reading by the pool/beach. finishing our […]
celebrating my son’s 3rd birthday party at the park. My guy was running around with his friends and enjoying all the attention and loving the school bus themed cake making almond joy snack bites, made with dates, cocoa, coconut and chocolate chip. I didn’t measure the ingredients, so I don’t have a recipe to […]
Here are some of my favorite things lately: Canyon Bakehouse Gluten Free Bread – I eat this bread toasted and then put half of an avocado on top with a little sprinkling of salt most mornings. I eat half before I workout and then eat the other half with my eggs after working out. […]

The month of January finds me at 29-32 weeks in my pregnancy. I look at my growing belly and I get more and more excited to meet the baby. I’m feeling well over all, but I have my days where I don’t get enough sleep and I’m ready to nap and call it a day […]

It’s Spring Break season and a time to take a little time off to enjoy some rest and relaxation. We spent some family time in Las Vegas this week. My mother-in-law celebrated her birthday in Vegas […]
I am on a mission to hang things on our walls. Besides printing pictures, I have been collecting print arts that I’ve found online these past few months. I am inspired to build a gallery wall, and have been pinning ideas on how I want it to be arranged. These are the print arts that […]
A few weeks ago, I cleaned out a ton of boxes in the garage. I’m trying to sort everything out, clean house and make a dent in organizing all the stuff I’ve kept all these years. I kept my bib from my first half marathon race in Las Vegas. Ever since I found it, I […]
A few years ago, I thought there was only one kind of peanut butter. The only kind I knew was the one sold at regular supermarket, you know, just plain peanut butter. Who knew there were so many kinds of nut butters? So many flavors? I think there’s a butter for every nut. If there’s […]
I love cooking dishes that are considered “one-pot meals”. I like eating from a bowl and eating all the nutritious ingredients all mixed together. Food doesn’t have to be pretty, they just have to be nutritious. I call a meal-in-a-bowl “rustic”. One of my Sunday food-prep is to cook a pot of quinoa to eat […]
