I feel like a year’s worth of travel all happened in one month. Chris and I had a moment today where we reflected on all the things that has happened to us in the last month. We are so grateful for all the blessings that have come our way. We both love to travel and […]
Thank you to Yahoo! Mail for sponsoring this post about staying connected. I was selected for this sponsorship by the Clever Girls Collective, which endorses Blog With Integrity, as I do. Recently Chris traveled for a week to the East Coast for a work conference. He went to Virginia. Our different schedules and time difference […]
You know summer is on it’s way when you have fresh, sweet and juicy pineapples at the farmers market. We have been enjoying pineapple the last few weeks and it inspired me to make this dish. I love eating pizza but I don’t like the bloated feeling I get afterwards. I made my own healthier version […]
It was definitely a pancake weekend for me. I made pancakes twice, on back to back mornings. I enjoyed them after the hike on Saturday and also made them the following morning. I normally don’t eat pancakes for breakfast because they don’t satisfy me. I can eat a plate full, be stuffed and feel hungry […]

Doing some kind of meal planning on the weekend is my saving grace. Most nights, I don’t get home from work until around 6:30. My toddler’s bedtime is 8pm, so that doesn’t leave me a lot of quality time with him in the evenings. If I prep food on Sundays (and mid week on Wednesdays), […]
My toddler is starting to show interest in cooking. He watches me whenever I’m in the kitchen, cooking, baking and prepping. Mama, what’s that? I’m cutting onions. I love onions. I want some. (Grabs raw onions and take a bite. Sames goes for cauliflower, tomatoes and any fruit he sees me cutting). Weekends are […]
A few weeks ago, my aunt cooked a very simple okra dish. It was simple, with just a few ingredients and it was very tasty. After eating it a few days in a row, I told her “I can eat this everyday”. If I can find okra easily (frozen ones don’t taste as good), then […]
I was MIA all weekend and for had a good reason. My fun filled weekend was spent in Las Vegas for a friend’s bachelorette party. We left Friday morning to start the festivities and came home late Sunday. What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas right? and definitely off the blog 🙂 It was a […]

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 […]
I set goals each and every day. I find that I go about my day with a purpose if I set goals ahead of time. Some goals are very specific such as studying for certain amount of hours each day while other goals are more broad and general such as staying fit. In general I […]
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 […]
I first tried cauliflower pizza about 5 years ago. I wanted to try it, because I was curious and I wanted to experiment. I wasn’t impressed by it but always thought I should keep trying until I find the right recipe for me. Well, I’ve found that recipe now. It took a few trial and […]
