I’m sorry (but I’m not sorry) that I’ve been MIA this week. Playing catch-up after being on vacay is a never-ending process. When I haven’t been working or sleeping, I’ve been spending every single extra second with Kyle. Absence does make the heart grow fonder, FYI. I also stopped taking photos of my food for a while because my camera couldn’t keep up with my appetite. I’ve been doing quite a number on the fridge/pantry (it’s as if I arrived home from Europe and immediately felt the need to ravage our kitchen and make up… Read more >

The art of packing food is my specialty. Much like making my daily work eats (tutorials here), packing food for traveling is a bit of a craft. Some may find it easier to buy meals at the airport rather than go through the hassle of taking extra baggage through security. Personally, I’m not one of those people. I don’t care if it adds 25 pounds of dead weight that I have to schlep by plane, train, and automobile, for me it’s SO worth the energy. The cost to benefit analysis probably differs depending on your… Read more >

There’s nothing like a new food appliance to get you excited and inspired in the kitchen. After years of ooing and aahing over home-made breads, I finally made the plunge and got what I was lusting after. I did a fair amount of research prior to buying one. I wanted a reliable machine, but I didn’t wanna blow my bank account on some fancy schmancy professional breadmaker. I’m not going on Top Chef any time soon after all. And so I settled on the Sunbeam 2 lb. Breadmaker – model 5981. My maiden loaf was… Read more >

Ladies and gentlemen, Alexia Spicy Sweet Potato Julienne Fries with Chipotle Seasoning. I wasn’t going to share this…because frankly I am a bit embarrassed by it…but I’m only human after all. So I opened this bag to make as a dinner “side dish” and guess what? I ate the whole thing. By myself. I know I’m not the first person to ever do such a thing. But I’m not so sure it’s something I’m proud of. I like eating what I want, when I want, and not feeling bad or guilty or whatever about it. … Read more >

First of all, this venti soy misto was FREE, because believe it or not, there are some perks (beyond heart palpitations) to my Gold Card membership and caffeine addiction. I had to go to the hospital on Tuesday even though I wasn’t working. Enduring an early wake up call and morning traffic without the promise of a paycheck demands a special treat – hence the Starbeezies. I had breakfast prepared for the waiting room. [Yes I got odd looks as I busted out a tupperware of oats in a waiting room] This genius creation… Read more >
