Despite the fact that I love to eat and I love to cook, sometimes I find myself uninspired when the weekend hits. Because that tends to be when the kitchen magic you see happens, a sort of cook’s block akin to writer’s block, isn’t a…
Hello, Sunday. I can’t say that I’ve been focused on anything this week but Irma. I know I don’t live anywhere near Florida, but my family and friends still live there, and they all decided to stay put. It’s bringing back memories of Andrew and…
Fall is SO in the air. And so is the smell of these five spice apple waffles. Well, in my air at least.
Hello, Monday. I’m a day late with my weekendly thoughts but that’s pretty much because I got to Saturday night, and said YES to another day of being computer-free. That’s pretty much how life is these days, and it’s admittedly fantastic. I’ve been enjoying the last…
The rich flavors of Malaysian beef stew are transformed into this Rendang Burger topped with a refreshing homemade mango coconut salad.
This recipe was supposed to be part of another recipe (coming later this week) but I didn’t want to get lost in the shuffle because it’s so good. I often make really delicious salads (salsa? salad? what’s the difference?*) for garnishes that can really stand on their own but often times I forget that they’re there and they fade into memory (remember that great corn salad from last week?).

Mole-Q chicken tacos are a combination of mole and BBQ flavors, these chicken tacos are dressed in a corn salad for the perfect summer bite that will satisfy any cravings.
Yes, another ice cream recipe. No, I’m not sorry. The point of this blog is to show you what I eat, and I’m honestly telling you that I do, in fact, eat this much ice cream (actually, I lie. The point of this blog was to force me to be more creative in the kitchen. It’s worked, but lately I’m pretty much been just been creative with my ice cream). Anyway, I realized that I’ve been giving you a lot of dessert, and I promise that will change. I also promise that moving forward: one ice cream recipe a season! Have a I said that before? Well, I mean it this time. I’m kicking off my resolution to you with this toasted coconut ice cream.
Hello, Sunday. Well, we made it through another week of horrible things and horrible thoughts. We’re more resilient than we think. At least our minds are. I’m capping off Birthday Week with a day with the family. Mom’s been falling in love with Britain the past two…
