I’m going back to the basics today.  Here’s a simple clean recipe for something that pretty much everyone will eat.  Nothing scary, I promise! Lentils is the star of the show.  Lentils are super healthy and high in protein.  And there are a variety of lentils in assorted colors.  It’s also one of the main [...]

So I made something this past weekend that is an acquired taste.  Not everyone will find it appetizing.  But the people who do will find it pretty darn wonderful! For some reason, Beef Tongue is not something that Americans who are born and raised in the U.S. will eat willingly.  In other countries all over the world, [...]

Thanks to Pinterest, I stumbled across this recipe and thought it was interesting.  So what the heck, let’s give it a try.  Speaking of Pinterest, is anyone else obsessed with using it?  I recently got my friend into it and I’ve now created a pinterest monster!  There should be a Pinterest Anonymous for addicts.  Who [...]

I had a busy, busy weekend that consisted of my friend’s daughter’s birthday party that I helped co-host and my own birthday the very next day.  I spent that day with just my husband and we traversed to Malibu. Anyway, I wanted to post about the actual birthday party for my friend’s daughter.  It was [...]

My HB and I went to a Spanish Tapas restaurant to celebrate Valentine’s Day over the weekend.  It was a Flamenco Dinner show with live music and beautiful dancers in lovely flamenco dresses.  Ever since I went to Spain back when I was 14, I’ve had a love affair with everything Flamenco and I didn’t [...]

It’s a brand new year, according to the Chinese Lunar calendar.  And it’s the year of the Black Snake! Which means, today’s recipe is going to be SNAKE!!! Snake on the plane! Snake in the bathroom! Snake in the kitchen! SNAAAAAAAAAAAKE! That’s right, I’m going to be cooking up some black mamba snake in the [...]

STAR WARS, the first episode of the prequel trilogy is being re-released in the theaters in 3D next week!!!  That means more money being made for the Lucas Industry.  In honor of the movie, Yoda and I have decided to put together a special recipe to share with everyone on my blog! Yoda originates from [...]

  I found out that the manufacturer of my specific brand of pressure cooker is having a big closeout sale on their pressure cookers!  They are selling off a lot of their returned new inventory and reconditioned units on their ebay store.  Seriously, it can’t get any better than this!  I just wanted to share [...]

I know I’ve been seriously lagging in new recipe posts lately.  Don’t worry, I haven’t been kidnapped by trolls or anything.  I’ve just taken a break from cooking in the pressure cooker.  I’ve decided to put myself on a pretty strict wedding diet regime, and cooking in the pressure cooker always results in food that [...]

  I had such a busy and awesome Memorial Day weekend.  I barely had any time to cook.  But I somehow managed to squeeze in a super duper easy-peezy recipe.  It’s super quick, super yummy, and just plain super all around! Usually, when Summer starts to roll around, I start to cook less.  I’m not [...]

Okay, you’re probably wondering WHAT THE HECK?  Chinese and Coca-Cola???  That’s an odd combination for a description. I know, I know, but that’s the whole point.  That’s what caught my attention with this particular recipe and I just had to try it so I can say I did.  I love cooking food with an off-the-wall [...]

Have you ever had one of those days when you just totally do NOT want to cook?  Or you’re just so busy, or you’re running late and can’t get home in time to make a meal for your family?  I’m sure you all have.  And usually when that happens, we either run to grab quick [...]

So I am back!  Back from quite a long hiatus.  Sorry about that.  Weekends are so jammed pack with activities these days. Plus the vacation I took last week to Cancun, Mexico took up two whole weekends.  But a vacation was totally worth it and totally necessary!

March and April has been and will be a whirl wind of busy-ness!  I can’t even find time to cook!  AHHHHH!!!  But I can’t really complain, I’ve been so busy mostly because of wedding related stuff and also I’m going on vacation!!!  YAY!
