“Mommy it’s Stinky”

October 5, 2011

The oh so honest and very blunt words of a two year old. My little darling was referring to the fact that for two days, our kitchen smelled like a garlicky pasta house. This is the reason why - Homemade Meatballs with Roasted Tomato and Garlic sauce served over “fettuccine”. Why did I write fettuccine [...]

September 21, 2011

It’s What’s Cooking Wednesday and to be honest, I was struggling to find something to feature until I remembered my daughter’s enthusiasm for a Caprese sandwich I made last weekend. “Mom, this is the best sandwich you’ve ever made!” Words I rarely hear from this child.

What’s Cooking Wednesday - Quinoa and Sprouted Bean Pilaf

July 13, 2011

Being Asian, we tend to eat a lot of rice and sometimes it gets a little boring. My kids love white rice, especially the oldest . If she had her way, we would be eating plain white rice with a dash of soya sauce for breakfast, lunch and dinner! She’s not too happy about my [...]
