Is It Just Me Or Am I Noticing Things?

Now that I am back from my trip in Europe (Prague, Amsterdam, Vienna, Salzburg, and Budapest), I thought of some food related things that really stood out to me in these five cities. Some of these observations are soon-to-be habits that I want to develop at home, but others are just basic parts of European…

Seriously, Ramen…………In Czech Republic?

“Ok everyone, where do you want to go for dinner tonight?” I say. “How about ramen?” replies my cousin Christina (CC), a fan of Asian food. “But, maybe we should try something more Czech-ish. I mean, we’ve already had ramen twice and Vietnamese cuisine once,” I try to explain. “We should still get ramen,” CC…

Great Market Hall Has It All

Hello from Europe! Vienna, Austria to be exact. A few days ago (in Hungary), I visited this amazing destination along the Danube River. This location just so happened to be the well known supermarket known as Great Market Hall. I know I gave a lot of kudos to the Borough Market in London, but after…

It May not Taste Like Home, But It’s Still Great

I don’t know if I shared this last time I did a camping post, but every year, my Uncle and Aunty have a cousin camping trip (me, Sophie, Christina, Amanda, Luke) This time, we decided to go to Angel Island instead of Point Reyes. Besides all the hikes and games that we do when camping,…

Summer Fruits

Summer fruits are back! Peaches, plums, and more are starting to sell at local farmers markets all around town. 80% of my favorite fruits come from this season. I don’t know about you, but summer fruits are the best! Delicious summer fruits include peaches, plums, nectarines, strawberries, mangoes, cherries, papayas and more. I have learned…

Mother’s Day Magnifioso

First of all, I hope all of you had a great Mother’s Day (mother or not)! In my family, everyone except the moms makes breakfast, lunch, or dinner to give them a break. I don’t know if you think this, but my opinion is that moms are one of the hardest working people out there….

Triple B for the Dub

I know burgers are good, but have you ever thought of substituting that tasty patty for a handmade veggie burger? I didn’t like the idea myself in the beginning, but I soon changed my mind when I bit into a wonderful black bean onion burger. Let me tell you, it tastes like healthy mashed potatoes…

Hot? Try These.

Man, what a hot week it has been. I mean, yesterday I think the sun stayed out till 8:45 P.M and guess what, it was still decently hot! Not saying that my first go to option is food when I am hot, but I would like to share some tasty foods that might cool you…

Help at Yelp

Whenever my family and I get into one of those situations where we don’t know the best restaurants to eat at, what do we do? Go to Yelp. That’s right, I found Yelp so useful that I wanted to figure out how it worked! If you don’t know this helpful website, it is a review company…

Simple Yet so Tasty

Mother Teresa once said, “You can do things I cannot, I can do things you cannot, together we can do great things.” That quote is one of the best ways to describe my mom’s healthy vegetable soup. You would think that this vegetable soup would be all fancy schmancy, but the truth is, all my…
