This is what a clean freak who loves to cook like me would do: cook delicious food but try to minimize the effort of cleaning the kitchen aftermath. Also, you would make this dish if you have a husband like mine who will open you a can of chicken soup when you crave for fried [...]

Oven Fried Chicken
This pregnancy is like a roller-coaster trip in food tastes. It was not like this with Ethan, I could eat anything, I could even drain down 2 bowls of fishy fish soup even though I am not a fish person. But this time, over these first few months, ANY SECOND I’m either throwing up or [...]

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 [...]

Chicken Marbella
Getting back to work after a full year of maternity leave might not be easy for most of the new moms like me. Yes, I heard you, non-Canadian moms, sometimes life is just so unfair at the other side of the planet. Besides what I had anticipated before about my returning to the office, I [...]

Lebanese Styled Stuffed Eggplant
When I thought this dish from Smitten Kitchen would definitely be the hit for the dinner gathering I planned the other night, it turned out one of the ladies was allergic to eggplant. And I didn’t know that until she told me at the table before we started eating. I was all “how stupid I [...]

Simple Roast Chicken
I totally support Jamie Oliver’s “Ministry of Food”. In case you haven’t heard about this campaign, this is basically about inspiring people who used to cook or have never cooked before to get into their kitchens and make simple and delicious food from scratch. Once you’ve mastered a recipe, you’d teach it to two more [...]

Chicken Stew
I don’t have much to say about this dish, because it’s super dumb-free, but really tasty! This is actually one of my inventions. Yes, I heard you, “Really? Such an easy recipe, you call it an invention?” Well, honestly, I didn’t plan to post it until my sister-in-law, who’s a huge fan of this dish, [...]

Broiled Buffalo Wings
I don’t have a deep fryer at home. The thought of buying one have come across my mind occasionally for the past few years, especially the moment when I saw it’s being used on Food Network. It doesn’t take up much space, it has a sleek design, the non-stick parts make cleanup a breeze. And [...]

Chicken Paella
I was advised not to eat seafood when I was pregnant and breastfeeding because baby would be allergic to it. I still don’t figure out the reason. Isn’t it supposed to be that the more you eat that food, the easier your baby gets used to it? Anyway, I wasn’t dare to take risk. Afterall [...]
This recipe is an adaptation of Tyler’s Ultimate’s Brick Chicken with Apricot Couscous. Since I only had a whole duck at home the other day, and I’ve roasted duck for many times, I was confident that this dish would turn out good. And the result? My husband and me enjoyed it a lot!!! I didn’t [...]
