I love cooking dishes that are considered “one-pot meals”. I like eating from a bowl and eating all the nutritious ingredients all mixed together.

I love cucumber and I’m working on finding ways to incorporate them into summer dishes. Besides a staple in my salads, I’ve also used cucumber weekly to put in my water bottles. Other than that, I don’t really use them any other ways. If there are options for cucumber salads when we are dining out, […]
Overnight, I became an auntie to my baby nephew Jonah. He was born at 1am today. Happy Birthday little guy! A picture of me and my very pregnant younger sister during her baby shower a few weeks ago. I can’t believe she is a mom now. I grew up with my 3 younger sisters. Then […]
