The heat of summer is officially here. I come home from work and the first thing I do is open all the windows and screen doors. I like to air out the house and make sure the cold air flows in and out. I do this even before I put my purse down. It’s a […]
For someone who loves to bake, it’s amazing that I haven’t made a lot of different kind of bake goods. My comfort zone in my kitchen and for using my oven is usually cookies, snack bars, quick breads and muffins. I want to venture out of my comfort zone. I want to try something new. […]
I found a huge bag of brown rice in our pantry recently. I usually mark large packages of food items (usually items bought from Costco) with the purchase date on the front. It’s for my own curiosity and some sort of tracking on how long it takes us to finish a container. Well, the bag […]
Thank you for your sweet comments on the blog’s new design. I remember when I was little, and I would get excited when I have a fresh new notebook to write on. I would draw colorful and bright flowers on it and would wear out my colored pens. I feel the same way with the new […]
When I think of pasta, I immediately think of Italian style dish and tomato sauce. But as I find new recipes and read new cookbooks, I find that pasta can be prepared in so many ways. This unique recipe from The Kind Diet cookbook has pasta but also includes a lot of cabbage, onions and celery. […]

Yesterday was officially the first day of summer according to the calendar, but for me, summer around here starts Memorial Day weekend. I have a summer bucket list that I want to do this year, the list is in my head, and it’s not too long since we have the baby and are limited with […]

It is the 2nd annual Foodbuzz Blogger Festival where food bloggers will enjoy a weekend filled with delicious food and company of other food enthusiasts. Nature’s Pride bread is one of the official sponsors of the Foodbuzz Festival. They host an annual Bread Ambassador recipe […]
Our household loves to eat fish. We have a separate freezer in the garage just to hold frozen fish and lobster. Diving is Chris’s hobby so we constantly have fresh caught fish supply. Besides grilling fish (our favorite way to prepare it), I wanted to try other methods in preparing them. Growing up, I loved […]
Ever since Monday, I haven’t been feeling well. My beverage of choice has been fresh ginger tea with honey. Sometimes I make it really strong and it’s spicy, sometimes a little light and with more honey. I’ve also been craving comfort food. Chocolate gives me comfort. I have been adding chocolate shavings on top of […]
I think I went thru some kind of post holiday withdrawal. Holiday withdrawal + sugar withdrawal = not good. I’ve been feeling blah all week. All the Christmas decorations have been taken down and packed away until next year 😦 It was a sad sight when I saw all our neighbor’s Christmas trees left on […]
celebrating our little man’s 4th birthday. We took him to Legoland over the weekend and had his birthday lunch at school with a cake, pizza, desserts and balloons going on our monthly date night, we had dinner California Fish Grill and watched Beauty and The Beast saying goodbye to our puppy Leilani. She was […]
One of my favorite things during the holidays are the time spent with friends and family. I love that everyone is in a good and jolly mood, everyone has a grateful heart and thankful attitude. The vibe is light and fun. I just love this time of the year because it brings people together. I […]
