Hello friends, I hope you are enjoying the start of your Easter Weekend. Color explosion! It makes me happy. 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 […]
First, thank you for all the get well wishes from the last post. My eyes are doing much better. It just a matter of time before my cornea heals completely. My nephew Jonah turned 2 weeks old yesterday. He makes a lot of facial expressions already and I try to capture it each time I […]
Since we had rain all weekend long, I welcomed the time spent indoors. Besides going to the gym in the morning, I didn’t leave the house or changed from my lounge wear for a whole day. Instead of watching movies all day long, which I love to do on lazy days, I baked and cooked […]
Even for someone who enjoys working out, it was still hard to get back into my workout routine after being away from the gym for a week or so while I was sick. I eased into my workout by doing light cardio on alternating days. Once I was feeling well enough to take the intensity […]
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’ve been asked many times to list dishes that are in our current dinner rotation. I usually draw blank and can’t get to 10 dishes, usually I remember about 5 dishes right on the spot. But later on, when I browse this blog or look at my recipe boards on Pinterest, I realize all […]
When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi This book is an inspirational and thought-provoking memoir. At the age of thirty-six, on the verge of completing a decade’s training as a neurosurgeon, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer. One day he was a doctor treating the dying, the next he was a patient […]
(Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the advance copy of these books for my honest review) First Comes Love: A Novel by Emily Giffin I read this book while vacation in Mexico and I thought it was a good beach read. This book is about family, tragedy and how that can […]
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 […]
Cu-cu-curry House we went. Curry House is a Japanese-style Curry and Spaghetti Restaurant. They are known for their great tasting curries and huge serving entrees. I’ve never seen so many variety of curries. You can choose between beef, vegetable, chicken and seafood curries. We haven’t been to this restaurant for a long time (more than […]
Friday night was my “Ugly Christmas Sweater” themed party with my friends. Ready for the uglies? Which sweater do you think is the ugliest? It was a really fun party. We giggled and laughed at each other the whole night and posted pictures on Facebook to see who would win the ugliest. Since the party […]
Here are the items I’ve prepped recently. This baked chicken is a favorite in our house. The little man loves it too, so I bake it in large batches and freeze the leftovers. I first made the recipe when I did the Whole 30, and have made it several times since then. I’ve […]
Chris and I both enjoy eating at Soup Plantation. I love that I can create a salad with as much vegetables and topping that I want. He loves it because he can eat and taste everything he wants until his belly is about to explode. The price is very reasonable for what you get. […]
