The latest from my kitchen

I used this recipe but halved it and made a few changes: I used coconut oil in place of butter, coconut sugar in place of brown sugar, subbed 3/4 cup steel cut oats for some of the rolled oats and used a mix of all purpose GF flour and oat flour instead of wheat flour.  Kyle got one cookie but I ate the rest.  In the words of cookie monster, nom nom nom nom nom. I also have a serious Asian thing going on with my taste buds right now.  On the left is fried rice leftovers, and… Read more >

Outside eats

I definitely cook way more than eat out, but over the past month I seemed to have amassed several food photos from restaurants and such that I felt like sharing.  I’m surprised I have so many actually because (a) I kinda forgot I had a blog for a while there and stopped taking pics of my eats; and (b) it’s a miracle my hard drive has room for anything given the insane volume of pacman videos it holds.  But sometimes yummy food needs to be photographed and apparently that’s engrained in me no matter how much time I… Read more >

Last weekend

I turned off the comments on my blog because I was being flooded with spam and it was annoying.  I miss the interaction with readers but it was making blog maintenance so obnoxious that it was the best solution I could come up with (without investing too much energy and time).  So I’m sorry to the 3 people who have tried to comment in the last few weeks.

I have some photos that seem to have piled up since I have neglected this little blog for the past few weeks/months.  You see, despite my absence, I still cook and bake all the time.  I just don’t seem to find the time to share it.  Also, half the time I don’t write down recipes.  I think it’s because deep down I know I won’t likely get around to sharing it anyway.  But that’s lame on my part.  Especially because when things turn out well I’m annoyed that I don’t have the recipe to replicate… Read more >

A week in Idaho

Final family vacay of the summer! Even though it felt like we JUST got back from Hawaii, we hopped back on a (very small) plane to spend the week in McCall and then Boise with Kyle’s family.  Here are some highlights: Suited up and ready to go. If only life always involved diggers.  His practically does… Lunch mish mash salad that I loved so much I had 3 times in a row.  Avo + mustard + mayo = strange but good. Baby selfie. Delicious.  Tasted much darker than 55% cocoa. They had the first book in the cabin…how could I… Read more >
