Green Chili Feast

Sun, 17 Oct 2010 02:24:59 +0000

I love cooking. One of the most enjoyable things for me is to try out new and innovative recipes for my family.

The Cook Is Still On Break

Wed, 21 Jul 2010 04:45:54 +0000

My ‘no cooking policy’ is still in effect (it’s been for a long time, anyway). Why not? With the oppressive heat, even with the central air running, I can’t seem to imagine myself cranking up the stove or the oven.

So, you must be thinking that my foodie husband is starving (lol).

Lemon Plum

I chanced upon this fruit at our nearby fruit stand. Admittedly, it was my first time to try it, and I’m not quite pleased. I probably had high expectations and thought it would taste like the regular plums that I’m used to, but I was wrong.

Sure, it is lemon plum and it’s quite . . . → Read More: Lemon Plum

Early on in my life, I didn’t really care for pizza. I don’t know why, but it maybe because I only had access to run of the mill chain resto pizza. I don’t have to name names . . . → Read More: Thin Crust For Me, Please

Quick And Easy Saturday Night Dinner

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 06:38:14 +0000

Dinner with friends at a Thai restaurant in Queens has been planned for quite sometime, and I was really looking forward to it. We had to beg off though, not only because of the nasty weather that enveloped the tri-state area yesterday but primarily because my husband is nursing a bad cold.

What’s For Dinner?

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 04:55:12 +0000

It’s time to thaw those frozen cooked foods stored in the freezer. My cooking holiday is in effect since yesterday and I’m loving it, although, I still make fresh vegetables, most of which are just easy to prepare.

I was simply lazy to plan my menu for the week last Sunday, and I came . . . → Read More: What’s For Dinner?
