A Holiday Classic: The Candy Cane
Is it just me, or do I always seem to stumble upon candy canes, wherever I go… An iconic holiday treat, candy canes have quickly turned into one of my favorite winter treats (though not the healthiest). Their long lasting texture and frosty peppermint flavor make them unreasonably hard to resist. My teacher had a…

Not so bad!
The first thing that my family and I do when at a Japanese restaurant is look for the Agadashi tofu! Ever since we’ve gotten into this delicious east Asian cuisine, those fried tofu squares have never left the spotlight. They’re no doubt our favorite!

Hot Spring = Hot Dog
Who needs a portable stove if you can cook something in using natural heat? My family and I traveled to a lot of places this summer, but it certainly didn’t feel like summer in Iceland. Though the sun never set, we had the time of our lives snowmobiling on a glacier, exploring ice caves, ziplining,…
2 in 1: Crispy Pork Shank
“Oh my goodness! What is that?” was my ecstatic reaction when my mom called me down to try a new after school “snack”… In my previous post, Craved Curried Couscous, I wrote about the power smell and how it draws you toward a food even if you’ve never tasted it before. Have you ever heard the…
Craved Curried Couscous
Have you ever smelled a food and thought, “I wish I could eat that so badly, whatever it is!”? My mom’s delicious curried couscous is sure to trigger this same feeling… A while back I posted on the Mendocino Farms Restaurant and their amazing impossible meat taco salad. To be honest, nothing there beats that…
