When I was doing Whole30, I got really good at reading labels and it opened up my eyes. Even my seasonings and dried herb mixes had a ton of ingredients I couldn’t understand or pronounced. I made this taco seasoning back in March and this week I made my second batch. It’s great with […]
I feel so productive when I make dinner in a slow cooker. It feels good knowing dinner is cooking itself. I’m working towards making at least a few crock pot meals several times a month, to include it in my Sunday meal prep. Lately though, I’ve been preparing the ingredients right before bed and letting […]
I made this almond crusted salmon twice during the month I did Whole 30. I bought 2 Costco size salmon, that was easily about 10 servings each. I bake it all at once and then portion and freeze half of it. I love salmon and usually bake/grill them with just a simple oil, salt & […]
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 […]
This past week was a stressful one. The hubby was traveling for work conference, baby was sick and I had major deadlines at work. I had to leave work on time in order to pick up the little man at day care on time. Every minute spent at work had to be super efficient with […]

So around this season, we usually have fresh lobster in the house. With freshly caught lobster, he cooked paella dish with shrimp, lobster and brown rice. […]

We started off with dinner early at King’s Hawaiian Restaurant since we were taking the shuttle to Hollywood Bowl around 6pm. King’s Hawaiian is known for their bakery […]

I mentioned on this post how my sugar consumption had become a daily habit. It first started around Halloween last year and lasted until early January this year. It was just so hard to stop. I have no problems with enjoying sugar on special occasion but eating it daily had wreck havoc on my moods, […]
The next stop during our fun road trip along the scenic California coast was Big Sur. I’ve heard so many great things about Big Sur, about the great views one will find and the active community that lives in this coastal town. I’ve also read about Big Sur from other blogs that I follow. Our […]
Happy Halloween from our baby crab. The picture below was taken during Baby H’s fall festival event at his day care. It was the first time having candy and boy did he love it! I loved that his day care had this evening festivity, we got a chance to meet other parents and see […]
I woke up this morning and didn’t really feel like going to the gym. Probably because it was cold outside and the covers where holding me back from getting up. Whenever I have days like these, I do some tricks to get myself motivated to workout. I put the workout clothes in the dryer to […]
After coming home from a weekend trip to San Francisco and indulging in the delicious food and eating my way thru the Ferry Building/Farmers Market, I came home with a happy heart and happy belly. I came home excited to cook again, but usually after each of my travels, I come home with a low […]
