HERE FISHY, FISHY, FISHY…

Hey guys, Chinese New Year is in less than a week! Yes, it falls right after the Super Bowl. So, does a “cleaner” meal after all the fun, calorie-loaded game food sound good? It does to me. So, here’s a simple, but deliciously complex tasting; clean but thoroughly satisfying Asian influenced-meal for the week after the testosterone-filled day. You’re welcome.

CALLING ALL ANCHOVY KILLJOYS…LET YOUR MIND BE TRANSFORMED

Transformation of the mind. Sounds serious doesn’t it? I see people religiously wearing their Fitbit™, the first couple months of the new year. Coming from a different country and culture, I observed that Americans — at the end of every year without fail, set a big resolution for themselves. To shed 30 lbs. To run a marathon. To go back to school. To eat healthy, and therefore cook more at home, etc., etc. Interesting.

12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS.

I KNEW IT… YOU MISSED BEING NAUGHTY.

Guys, over the years, I’ve ’collected’ a good amount of Weck jars. They’re ohmygosh so adorable! I love love love them! I have them in different shapes and sizes. They’re totally versatile, cute to boot, and completely reliable. They’re like… well… my PIE (Partner In Everything,) Eric. I’m sure he’s so smiling right now as he reads ALL my posts. Well, what can I say he’s sort of my editor, you know 🙂

PANTRY RAIDER CHICKEN – ASIAN STYLE

THIS IS BETTER THAN FOODCOURT CHICKEN!

Well, hello guys… It’s been uhh… 5 days since my last post? The reason why I haven’t been so ‘on it’ this week is because I’ve been busy doing some other ’creative’ projects for my little creative studio, Atria. We only have so much time on our hands, and… I don’t want to just post “so so” things. What good comes out of it anyway, right? Right. I know you haven’t forgotten me 😉

WHAT CAN I SAY, IT’S APPLE SEASON . . .

Happy end of October you guys… Let’s seal this beautiful Autumn month with something sweet, something apple and… something easy. All of us somewhat need to get used to having the days shorter and cooler, and the work heavier and more serious. We crave for, well, spice induced comfort.
