Once you have a baby, everything changes. But I didn’t realize that how I approach cooking would also drastically change. There’s definitely a mental shift of how I spend time in the kitchen now. When I look for recipes nowadays, I look for recipes that can be prepared ahead of time, can be made in […]
I’ve missed this place, this blog is my creative space and I miss it. It has only been a month since I’ve given birth and already I feel like I am starting to see the flow and rhythm of having a baby at home. Don’t get me wrong, I am still adjusting, but I do […]

I’ve seen these fun paint and wine events for awhile now and I’ve always wanted to try it. A quick group text among my girlfriends and we made it happen. We got news that my friend E was flying down from San Francisco and she wanted to celebrate her birthday doing Paint Nite. The event […]
I can’t believe that after yesterday, the year is halfway over. We are at the mid-way point of 2011. Time is sure flying. How is everyone doing with their goals for this year? I can’t believe that yesterday also marks one month from when we got married. It feels just like yesterday. We don’t have […]

Last week’s family meals had lot of greens. However, it was just my toddler and I at the table for most of the days, as the hubby was travelling at the end of the week. We hosted my mom and brothers this weekend. We had plans to go the beach and had our picnic food […]
