I have so many recipes bookmarked for this holiday season (mostly cookies and desserts) that I don’t think I’ll have time to bake and cook them all. I guess it’s ok to make holiday cookies in the Spring right? December is full of holiday parties and I am surrounded with indulgent desserts, delicious party food, […]
We’ve had beautiful weather around here. I am enjoying it while it lasts. Heard there’s a storm coming soon. Admiring the last of the ripe oranges. They are sour though 😦 And enjoying the last of the beautiful plumerias. It might be the last bloom until next season. My mother-in-law gave us a few plumeria […]
I’ve been craving chocolate lately. I’m not craving sweets, but I’m craving chocolate. I added a heaping tablespoon of dark chocolate powder in my oatmeal bowl and it turned into this black bowl of oats. Halloween color bowl? I added shredded coconut, granola and nuts to the bowl and had myself a healthier version of […]

To continue my wedding recap, here is What-I-Ate wedding day edition. I got a lot of advice from people on what to eat on my wedding day. I […]

Whenever I am lacking sleep and feeling a little stressed, I crave chocolate and sweets. When my life gets a little unbalanced, my body craves sweet treats. I will be out of town this weekend to celebrate a dear friend’s bachelorette party. Besides running around town grabbing all the stuff I need for outfits and […]
Hello everyone 🙂 Whoa…that was a long blogging break. I’m hoping I’ll be back to my regular posting schedule now that Fall season is upon us soon. Thanks to all of you who visited the blog while I was away. Hello to all the soon-to-be brides that stopped by and I was able to help […]
We had a wonderful Easter celebration this past weekend. We invited our family over and had a BBQ/lunch gathering and the weather was wonderful, perfect for dining al fresco. 1 / First time giving H an Easter basket. I don’t remember what we did last Easter, but I didn’t have a basket for him. The […]
We had a wonderful 3-day holiday weekend. Here are 10 things I want to remember during our 4th of July weekend. #1 – Hubby and I both had Friday off for the holiday. Since we just got back from our vacation last Monday, we only had to work 3 days during the week. Woohoo! #2 […]
I am a having a great time baking and cooking. I’ve eaten a lot of traditional and also new (to me) foods. I have enjoyed eating and spending time with my family and friends the last few days. I survived the 3 meals during Thanksgiving Day. I didn’t take a lot of pictures as I […]
I was at Wholefood’s recently and while browsing the bulk bin aisle, I wanted to purchase an ingredient that I have never tried before. I saw the red quinoa and started scooping it into a bag. I’ve had quinoa before but never had the red kind. I heard it is supposed to be nuttier than […]
600 miles and 24 hours later, I am home sweet home. I don’t know when I’ve felt more tired, driving solo for 4 hours or the morning after a long race? 4 hours is the longest time I have ever been driven straight and I did it twice in the last 24 hours. I did the […]
