We had a fun time this Easter weekend with the family. Sunday was my sister’s actual birthday so we headed over to her house for some BBQ celebration. My sister is going on a week vacation with my mom, so we kept the food simple and tried to use up every food they had left […]
Ever since I turned my calendar to the month of February, chocolate has been on my mind. Everywhere I go, there’s chocolate in my face. The stores are filled with chocolate displays for Valentine’s day even before January ended. Since I know I will be enjoying some decadent chocolate desserts this week, I wanted to […]

Dark Matter by Blake Crouch (5 out of 5 stars!!) I loved this book and finished it in four days. I just could not stop reading. This is easily one of my favorite books this year. I didn’t know anything about this book until it popped up on my Instagram feed, read the quick […]
I bake because I love it. Dare I say that I love baking slightly more than the finished product? I just love the process. But I also bake when I’m stressed. I bake late at night when I should be resting, because it helps me shut down my busy mind and just going thru the […]

This dish might not look pretty to photograph but I found it delicious. I made it the week after I returned from my Portland trip. During the trip, we participated in a food tasting that lasted about 4 hours (including walking time, but still), it was a lot. Although I enjoyed every sip of my […]

This weekend I was in search for a healthy snack that I could munch on throughout the week. I knew I was going to have a busy week, and I didn’t want to be tempted to always grab the leftover holiday treats & chocolates that are still everywhere at work. I also wanted to use […]
