This dish might not look pretty to photograph but I found it delicious. I made it the week after I returned from my Portland trip. During the trip, we participated in a food tasting that lasted about 4 hours (including walking time, but still), it was a lot. Although I enjoyed every sip of my […]
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 […]
After a week of all work and no play, I was looking forward to this past weekend because it would mean that we will be doing all play, all day. On Saturday, we spent the whole day at KIIS FM’s Wango Tango concert at the Home Depot Center. […]
I have several vegetarian recipes on dinner rotation and few handful go-to recipes for whenever I want to cook Meatless on Mondays. But I have bookmarked so many recipes that I really should start trying making new ones. This new recipe I wanted to try intimidated me at first because I’ve never tasted the “real […]
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. […]

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), […]
I’ve always set aside time during the week to prep food ahead of time. This just makes my week less stressful and keeps my sanity. I do this most weeks, all year. But while on Whole30, planning ahead becomes very necessary (it was mandatory for me) in order to stay compliant throughout the week. I […]
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 […]
starting a new gallery wall in our living room. There was a set of sconce on this wall, and had to remove it because some of the glass décor broke after H was jumping on the couch. After that, we had to toddler proof the house from floor to ceiling harvesting ripe tomatoes from […]
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. […]
I hardly make soup for dinner, probably because there is a short window of time when it’s cold here in SoCal and when soup sounds appetizing, and also because I don’t like eating soup leftovers. Well, the first week of January was pretty cold, there was ice on my windshield a few times and consecutive […]
The Opposite of Everyone by Joshlyn Jackson This is a story about a tough divorce lawyer with a troubled past is forced to revisit her childhood when she discovers her estranged mother is probably dead and may have left another child behind. I like books who have strong heroines that don’t take any […]
Happy weekend everyone! I love trying new things, especially new food and new workouts. Here are some of the new things I’ve tried lately. Kettle ball workouts. I love these workouts because it combines cardio and muscle toning in the same workout. It’s a fun change to my workout routine. It also left me sore […]
