I had the opportunity to try out Winder Farms food delivery service a few weeks ago, and it couldn’t have come at a better time, as I was just returning from traveling and didn’t have time to do our weekly grocery shopping. I set-up my delivery date and their farm fresh products were delivered on […]
Did you know it was Star Wars day today? I didn’t know either but I thought I’d share this themed and fun cupcakes that I made last week for my friend Kathy son’s birthday party. They were really fun to make. Weekend fun has started already. After work today, Chris and I, along with our friends […]
My first exposure to veggie dips was not until high school. I started attending friends parties where they served bite-sized vegetables and a big tub of ranch dressing. Back then, I thought “Wow, vegetables taste great with a thick and creamy dip”. I always served myself with more dipping sauce than vegetables. It’s not a […]
*** Giveaway is now closed *** Since we were gone the last 10 days on vacation, we made sure to eat everything we had in our refrigerator prior to leaving. I gave my fruits and produce to my sister and we ate all our leftovers. The day we returned home, we finished all our laundry […]

We’ve had beautiful weather around here. I am enjoying it while it lasts. Heard there’s a storm coming soon. Admiring the last of the ripe oranges. They are sour though 😦 And enjoying the last of the beautiful plumerias. It might be the last bloom until next season. My mother-in-law gave us a few plumeria […]
listening to Shonda Rhimes audio book Year of Yes. She reads the audio book and I love it when authors do that. She’s inspiring and I feel like I’m listening to a girlfriend giving me advice about life and being a working mom hiking by the beach. I see a lot of hiking […]
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 […]
listening to the loud rain and strong winds outside. The first rainy week this year. being thankful that the whole family is healthy this week, after baby was sick all of last week and then later hubby and I caught the bug going around renewing my annual pass for Disneyland. I’m looking forward to […]
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 […]
I am a having a great time baking and cooking. I’ve eaten a lot of traditional and also new (to me) foods. I have enjoyed eating and spending time with my family and friends the last few days. I survived the 3 meals during Thanksgiving Day. I didn’t take a lot of pictures as I […]
