When I first started the blog, I knew very little about designing a blog. I didn’t spend a lot of time fretting about the design because I just wanted to get started. I just wanted a medium where I can talk about the fun stuff that happens in life, a place where I can post […]

Baked maple apple oatmeal & HIIT

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 […]

Stiff

I woke up today with a stiff neck. I could not even turn my head around to turn off my alarm clock. I’m not sure if the stiff neck came from my sleeping position last night or from the boxes I was carrying yesterday cleaning up the garage. After I massaged my neck and shoulders […]

Colorful foods

How is hump day Wednesday treating you? Thanks for all the comments on the last post about Halloween at Disneyland. It’s really festive and beautiful right now at Disney. If you have the opportunity to go, I would suggest making time for it. And if you can’t go, I’ll take more pictures and share them […]

homemade ice pops: yogurt strawberry & chunky monkey

I’ve made two batches of homemade ice pops in the last month and I’ve found many more flavors I would like to try throughout the summer. So far, the ones I’ve made are pretty healthy….healthy enough that I’m fine with my toddler eating it for breakfast. I want to make bigger batches of the […]

Maki Yaki Sushi and Long Beach Grand Prix

Thank you everyone for your well wishes about my mom. She was in good spirit when I visited today and is looking forward to getting out of the hospital. I spent most of my weekend spending time with my mom but once visitor hours were over, I was able to enjoy some sushi with Chris. […]

Sweet Potato and Kale Soup

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 […]

{weekend wandering} santa monica farmers market

One of my favorite things in the summer are all the seasonal food found in the farmers market. In the summer, we do a lot of overnight stays and road trips around Southern California. Whenever we are out of town on the weekends, I try to search for info on the local farmer’s market. […]

Be Californian Buy California Grown

Thank you to California Grown for encouraging me to connect with California growers and encouraging California consumers to “Choose California Grown” when they can. I buy most of our produce from our local farmers market. Ever since I’ve made an effort to buy locally, I’ve gained knowledge of the different seasonal items that are available […]
