Fave Tuna Dish

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 00:10:57 +0000

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of HealthyTuna.com. All opinions are 100% mine.

I grew up in a household where balanced diet was a priority. Because of my family’s heredity and genetics whereby family members passed away mostly due to heart attack, my Mom’s crusade for the family to eat healthy meals [...]

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.

As soon as we [...]

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 up with [...]

A Weekend Of Scrumptious And Piquant Dishes

Thu, 01 Oct 2009 05:54:08 +0000

That I have a foodie for a husband is no big secret. Dishes that I prepare in my own kitchen are well received and consumed by him with gusto, and that is just plain traditional home cooking sans the great presentation that only a Chef can whip up. I wonder how my husband will react [...]

Crumbs, Sprinkles And Me

Thu, 23 Apr 2009 04:33:10 +0000

Now that I’ve tried Crumbs cupcakes, I can finally say goodbye to Sprinkles (in the meantime while it’s not yet available here in New York). My friend can now finally be free of the burden of sending me ( through UPS same day service) those decadent Sprinkles cupcakes from California.

I have tried two flavors [...]

Not That Gooey

Wed, 15 Apr 2009 05:02:29 +0000

One day, his tummy started to “dislike” some of the foods that he used to love. I’m talking about my husband, who is known to be a foodie. Just recently though, he thinks that somehow the chemistry of his body must be changing because he now finds that some dishes that he was used [...]

Outback In Lieu Of Peter Luger

Tue, 31 Mar 2009 04:00:35 +0000

Over the weekend, I was psyched to dig in to a sumptuous Porterhouse steak from Peter Luger, my ultimate favorite steakhouse. So, off we trooped to the Brooklyn location, and in no time we were there. To our dismay, the restaurant was filled to the seams, so we figured we’re better off dining somewhere else. [...]

'Pinaputok' Na Tilapia ( Popped Or Exploding Tilapia)

Fri, 27 Mar 2009 05:25:53 +0000

This dish pretty much summed up what I felt after getting another clean bill of health from my doctors. I’m exploding with joy! Hence, after my appointment with the third doctor this week, I went to the nearby Asian supermarket to buy a couple of freshly caught (from the fish tank LOL) tilapia. I have [...]

Let's Eat!

Mon, 29 Dec 2008 04:18:32 +0000

As I wrote in the preceding post, here are pics of that dinner that my husband brought in from Safran Restaurant. I have to say that the food was very good and this restaurant really deserves all the great reviews they have been getting. The Executive Chef, Laura Lam (formerly of Monsoon Restaurant) really delivers.

Saturday Night Dinner At Home

Sun, 28 Dec 2008 02:54:51 +0000

My husband went to Manhattan earlier today for his haircut. He would have wanted to do it after work yesterday, but he left work late thus, he just came home straight. Since I didn’t feel like heading out for dinner tonight, I requested him to just bring in food from whichever restaurant he fancies.

The foodie [...]
