207: Tomato and Watermelon Salad

Sun, 19 May 2013 21:15:22 +0800

Hello! How are you? Summer’s almost over in my part of the world. The rain has been making more frequent appearances lately.

Back in April I swore to myself that I was going to churn out all the summer recipes I’ve bookmarked over the rainy months. I failed, obviously. It was so hot! So instead, here’s a simple summer salad. :) Tomato, lettuce and watermelon with feta and walnuts drizzled with my favorite go to dressing: olive oil, balsamic vinegar and honey.

205: Chicken Roulade with Mushroom Sauce

Wed, 17 Apr 2013 21:15:31 +0800

I love weekend meals. I made this for lunch a couple of weeks (months?) ago. It’s one of the more successful recipes I’ve tried since I started cooking. My family asked for seconds and thirds!

Recipe from Bon Appetit. Enjoy!

Trip to the beach, check! I’m a few shades darker and I couldn’t be happier. Summer had officially begun.

Hey, this isn't a question more of a statement. I love your blog! :D

Thank you! :)

204: Squash Soup

Sun, 17 Feb 2013 00:19:00 +0800

I like lists. To-do lists, top-10 lists, and most especially, grocery lists. I like being prepared, but what I wasn’t prepared for was spotting butternut squash at my local grocery store. It was like seeing a unicorn, I swear. I forgot about my list and started combing my memory for ingredients I needed to make squash soup, one of my mother’s favorites.

When it was time to pay, the cashier scanned my squash through her machine and asked, “What is this?” She and the bagger had a good laugh when I replied, “Squash.”

Recipe adapted from Alton Brown.

203: Homemade Granola

Sun, 13 Jan 2013 10:34:31 +0800

Good morning! How’s your weekend so far?

Granola recipe from here. Substituted dried fruit with more nuts and added a pinch of cinnamon. There’s something about January that makes you want to eat healthy, no?

202: Chocolate Malt Layer Cake

201: Apple, Grape and Ricotta Salad

Sun, 16 Dec 2012 21:15:29 +0800

Greens and ricotta along with the fruits we have at home topped with my favorite dressing: olive oil, balsamic vinegar and honey.

200: Shimp and Mango Soft Tacos

Sun, 16 Dec 2012 01:08:57 +0800

Hello everyone! I’ve been swamped with work the past few weeks. December has left me burned out and we’re barely past the halfway mark! This was a quick and simple midweek meal. I sauteed the shrimp in garlic and onions. Mixed in mangoes, tomatoes and basil after and perched it all on a soft tortilla.

And no one is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one’s gonna love you more than I do
But someone
They should have warned you
When things start splitting at the seams and now
The whole thing’s tumbling down
Things start splitting at the seams and now
If things start splitting at the seams and now,
It’s tumbling down
Hard

…I said to my shawarma wrap as it unravels and spills helplessly on the floor.

What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music? ― Nick Hornby, High Fidelity

This song came on shuffle today and suddenly it’s 1999 again.

199: Fried Zucchini Pasta

Mon, 26 Nov 2012 22:30:26 +0800

I got this recipe from Gwyneth. You know, Gwyneth Paltrow. Well, she asked Food and Wine to publish it so I could read it, but you know. ;)

198: Ricotta and Honey Sandwich

Mon, 26 Nov 2012 22:00:34 +0800

Thank god for honey.

197: Sardines & Dill Sandwich

Mon, 26 Nov 2012 21:30:25 +0800

This is my go-to sandwich. I could eat this for the rest of my life and be happy. Normally, I would slather a layer of butter on my bread, but since I’m trying to eat healthier, I did without it (Que horror!). Top with sardines, sour cream and dill. Enjoy!

196: Challah French Toasts

Thu, 22 Nov 2012 22:11:26 +0800

Last Sunday’s breakfast using the challah I made the day before.
