“What cake are you going to make for Valentine’s Day?” I was asked this question yesterday because, normally and logically, as an active cake baker, I should come up with a pink or red cake with roses on top for Valentine’s Day. In fact, I AM NOT GOING TO MAKE ANY CAKES. Not anything at [...]

Soba Noodle with Spicy Peanut Sauce
It came to my realization that I haven’t been posting savory recipes as frequent as I used to be. It’s mainly because the time that I have to cook regular meals is limited with kids around. I’m only allowed to repeat the same dish over and over again unless that specific new recipe is extremely [...]

Thyme Garlic Hasselback Potato
Aren’t they beautiful! And tasty! And so easy and quick to cook! And the choices of ingredients are endless!

Caramelized Onion and Sausage Pizza
Anyone who has been reading my blog should know that what a fussy boy I have when it comes to eating. Or not eating. Or anything. So when he got all ecstatic about pizza that he would keep checking on the oven to see when it would come out, so he could pick all the pepperoni and [...]

Chinese Style Borscht Soup
Apparently, being pregnant with this kind of sickness, plus being traumatized by Ethan’s hunger strike are not tough enough to knock me down. Cause we’ve just bought a house……means God is going to manipulate my empty soul so I could start packing and moving. Ingredients (serves 6-8): 1 lb beef shin, cut into large pieces [...]

This picture……you might be too focused on the gooey, creamy, snowy, dreamy, cozy rice pudding. Yes the more you look at it, the more likely you will fall from your barstools. When I was eating it in the office, the wonderful aroma lured one of my co-workers over, then she jokingly asked me if I [...]

Chicken Pot Pie
For any day of the following week, if you come across with a problem about not knowing what to make for dinner, I highly recommend you this chicken pot pie. My very first improvised chicken pot pie is not about the pie itself. Weird, huh?! Yes, cause it’s all about the filling which was completely-beyond-my-expectation [...]

Thai Noodle Salad
Now, KitchenAid, you are wonderful. I love you, I can’t live without your stand mixer. And I want to have your everything! But YOU ARE NOT PERFECT. I’m such a dumb who can’t even manage to use your can-opener for one single time. Always stuck in the middle of the can top circle, I can [...]

Tomato Risotto
One thing about Facebook is you would have someone you could barely remember by looking at his/her name wishing you “happy birthday” on your birthday. That made me realize one cruel truth – without Facebook, your barely remembered friends wouldn’t care less about your birthday! It just takes too much for them to send you [...]
