New Mom Fish Congee and Postpartum Confinement

March 6, 2013

It was quite the shock when we came home from the hospital with a brand new person. Where do you even start? We were lucky enough to have my parents stay with us for two weeks after Mini-me was born. Which was great, but also frustrating when Mom is telling you what healthy things to [...]

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 [...]

Slow Cooker Grits Bar

January 22, 2013

Back in the blogging saddle! Someone should have really warned me about how tough and time consuming it would be when becoming a mom. In between taking care of an infant and work, I’m constantly scrambling to find some “me time.” We finally got around to having a little get together for our friends to [...]

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 [...]

Happy 3rd Anniversary with Carrot Cake Pancakes

August 8, 2012

Dear Paul, It’s been three wonderful years since I married my best friend on August 8, 2009. If I thought that last year was amazing, this year was even more memorable: – We traveled to the Caribbean and went diving in Cozumel and Belize, spotting giant loggerhead sea turtles, manta rays and a young hawksbill [...]

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 [...]

Mixed Feelings & A Strawberry Yogurt Parfait

April 13, 2012

This is a sort of follow-up post to my announcement earlier this week: I have never considered myself a baby person. In fact, I have never been too fond of children. I’m the type of person who has always found children to be more annoying than useful. Even though I have always pictured myself having [...]

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 [...]

Holiday Brunch with Friends | A Quiche & A Quick Bread

December 29, 2011

Yesterday a few of my favorite people came over for a holiday brunch. Nothing too fancy, just great people and great conversation, and maybe a few great mimosas as well. And unfortunately (and luckily for me, fortunately), I always like to test out new recipes when I have people over. This time I found two [...]

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 [...]
