Something We Can All Eat and Enjoy

The title says it, what we can all eat… I’m actually kind of surprised that I didn’t post on this before, because today I’m going to tell you about our homemade granola.  Now you may think of this as not very “awesome” but trust me, after you read this, you’ll be wanting to try this…

The Great Food I Can’t Even Spell

So what’s this “great food I can’t even spell” you might ask. Well, I guess I can only say Chinese Green Onion Pancakes. Since it has a Mandarin name, I would most likely get it wrong… So yeah, every other Saturday, we have a Chinese nanny, who owns a restaurant in San Francisco, come over…

Another Great Home Dish

This post might be a bit repetitive, but I just had to write about another great home dish, as you can tell from the title. Think to yourself. Have you ever remade a dish for dinner because it was so tasty at lunch? Recently, my mom did just that with the Grilled Chicken Salad from…

Looks can be deceiving

When I first looked at my mom’s pork couscous dish, I thought it would be more of a “superfood” meal. Instead, I tasted a delicious combination of tomatoes, cheese, and pork all on top of some Israeli couscous. To you, couscous might seem like a grainy substitution for rice, but the Israeli style one tasted…

Savoring The Stew

If there’s one food I can eat at least five nights in a row, it’s my grandmother’s stew. Usually when she visits, I look forward to her humorous character and great massages. But this time, my mouth was excited for stew. There are many variations of this dish, but her’s (not being biased) totally blows…

Sweet Sophie

Who knew that my sister Sophie could whip up bakery quality desserts? This past summer, Sophie took up a new hobby: baking! She spent time trying out new recipes at home with her cousins, and loved it so much that she signed up for a Sur La Table baking class at the end of the…

The “Glue” in Salad

Before I say anything, school is here (for me, at least)!!! Expect a post on cafeteria food because I know it will be delicious. Why was the girl embarrassed when she opened the fridge, because she saw the salad dressing. Pretty good huh? Just a few days ago, when my mom prepared a feast of…

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…

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…

Look, it’s Jook!

Ever looking for a Chinese dish that also has many mouth watering toppings? Jook is the answer. My family and I eat rice as our main carb because we are Chinese. Jook, a Chinese classic with a mixture of rice, chicken broth, and many other spices, is one of our favorite Chinese dinners.  It’s very…
