We have zucchinis in our garden that are the sizes of daschunds. I'm not kidding. When we pick one of them "bad boys" out of the garden, we always reply with a "look at this puppy". I'm sure a small weiner dog would

My hubby, he's the gardener around here. Like the shirtless gardener you will find on Desperate Housewives, except he truly is focused on tending to his vegetable garden, sometimes weeding or pruning but always focused on his little "babies". Me, I don't like

I like omelets but I'm too lazy to flip the darn thing. Plus if you remember, I wrote about how I'm not the greatest flipper a while ago.And yes, I flip my omelets when I make them. Stop the gasping! I know, you're

If we ever go out to eat (so very rare, sniff sniff), we usually prefer thai and indian cuisines. The exotic tastes and ingredients are so flavorable and I find it so very hard to find easy authentic recipes to make at home.

A few weeks back, we celebrated my mom's birthday and I said I would bring the cake. I don't like store bought cake. Let me correct that, I don't like that usual cheap grocery store "cake" that people buy for birthdays or some

I don't eat a lot of "exotic" variety of meat (ie: lamb, goat, rabbit, moose, bison, duck, etc). I'm kinda weird with meat that way and can't pinpoint one definite reason of why but I sort of feel like I'm on fear factor

I've been sick. The kind where you can't sleep at night because you can't breath through your nose and you think you might die from suffocation from lying down because your sinuses are so full. Yeaaaah, not fun.The thing that sucks about being

Ok, I lied. I got tired of just eating the raspberries right off the branches. The problem is that within a week, we had so many raspberries that I couldn't keep up with them. The novelty wore off after chewing the 100th berry

There is a lot of salad eating in the summer with the abundance available to me. My parents have a large garden in their yard and they are like pushers, always begging me to take some since they have so much(they actually pared

I started experimenting with breadmaking when I lived in another city. I didn't have too many new friends thus had time on my hands so I tried breadmaking for the first time. In this last year though, I haven't made any bread so

The header to this blog is indeed my kitchen. I thought that since this is a food blog, you can have a glimpse at where all my food prep happens. The "magic" so to speak.I love my kitchen. It has come a LONG
