Banana Bread with Spiced Glaze

February 5, 2013

One of my favorite things to have for breakfast is oatmeal in the mornings with my rice milk, cinnamon and bananas. But, not when the bananas start looking like this: I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty picky about my bananas. I like them with a slight bit of green left at the top [...]

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread | Football Fridays

October 12, 2012

Fall is my most favorite season of the year. I love just about everything that come with this season: the chill in the air, sweaters and jackets getting pulled out of the closet, college football and leaves changing color. The only thing that could possibly make it better would be if summer fruits were still [...]

Fried Egg Sandwich

July 24, 2012

NOTE: Congrats Sarah of Snixy Kitchen for winning the Land O’ Lakes giveaway! Even though I work from home, have no kids (yet) and seemingly have lots of time to make myself a gourmet lunch everyday… that extra time always seems to slip away from me. On many days, I’ll have my head buried in [...]

My Little Secret

April 9, 2012

I think someone smells a bun in the oven… I’ve been keeping this secret inside (literally!) for a little while now. We’re so excited! Especially Paul, can’t you tell? Look at that smile. The dogs have no idea what’s in store for them. We’ll have to get them used to all things baby… stroller walking, [...]

Southern Food Mashup | Szechuan Shrimp Po’ Boys

February 3, 2012

Southern food has a soul and a story. As does Asian cuisine. On this blog I love blending flavors from different cultures. That is what “Southern” food is truly all about. Famed Atlanta chef, Hugh Acheson, said it best in this article: “Southern food is a celebration of the people within the community, using the [...]

Clementine-Vanilla Quick Bread

December 30, 2011

As promised from yesterday, here is the recipe for the Clementine-Vanilla Quick Bread that we enjoyed at our holiday brunch. Continuing on with my current obsession with baking goodies from scratch, a clementine-vanilla quick bread was in order. This time of year is when those adorable Cuties clementines are all over the grocery stores, thus [...]

Caramel Apple Cinnamon Rolls | Secret Recipe Club

November 14, 2011

I love almost anything with “secret” in the title, especially when I’m in on the “secret”. When I found out about the Secret Recipe Club, I immediately headed over to their site and knew that I needed to participate. The concept of the Secret Recipe Club is just so much fun. You are assigned a [...]

Salmon Burgers on Sticky Rice Buns with Korean Yam Fries

November 2, 2011

When my dear friend, Patricia, invited me to take a cooking class with her at the Buford Highway Farmers Market. I immediately jumped at the chance because where else can you learn some new recipes, eat a fun dinner and get a $10 farmers market gift card – all for a total of $20. Seriously, [...]

Pumpkin Butter with Cinnamon Cranberry Biscuits

October 4, 2011

The smell of fall spices brings childhood memories rushing back into my mind. Even though I grew up in a Taiwanese family, I also grew up in a fairly rural part of Southwest Virginia, tucked away in the Appalachian Mountains. A close family friend, who was like a grandmother to me, would always cook a [...]

Kicking Off Football Season with Blueberry Lemon Corn Muffins

September 2, 2011

Can you feel it in the air? Fall is creeping up on us and soon my days will be filled with cooler weather, pumpkin recipes (oh, the recipes!) and football. Last night my alma mater, Georgia Tech, kicked off the 2011 football season against Western Carolina at home in Atlanta. Before you ask… yes, I [...]
