I’ll admit, my appetite has been very “off” lately, and that’s unusual for me. Normally I wake up hungry, have interesting ideas for what to cook, always have baked goods on hand, am inspired for what to make for dinner, etc. Not so lately. I’ve been very blah about my food and eating in the past …
Let me talk a little about my Ma. I wanted to post one of her recipes in honour of her upcoming birthday on December 2, when she would have turned 67. She’s been gone a little over 9 years and I miss her every day, but more so on her birthday. But then I didn’t have …
It all started with a green smoothie… You’d think I would get tired of this, but I don’t. I actually miss it when I don’t have it. To remind you what’s in it: a huge handful of fresh spinach leaves, 1 or 2 chunks of cucumber, 1/2 a fresh orange, 1 cup almond milk, 1 …
Well, I wasn’t gonna do it, but here I go anyway… hauling off and giving you guys a Thanksgiving recipe. I am American, after all. And it is Thanksgiving week, after all. Gotta stay true to my roots! My philosophy on holiday eating has changed a bit over the years, I have to admit. I used …
American Thanksgiving is just a week away!! Yet I feel the need to share with you my Malaysian tofu recipe. Welcome to my life as a “3rd Culture Adult.” It’s autumn in the U.S. and blogs are abounding with beautiful and delicious recipes for all things pumpkin, apple, sage, stuffing, squash etc. And I must …
Considering all the “What I Ate Wednesday” posts you haven’t seen lately, you might wonder if maybe I’ve gotten into intermittent fasting or something. But no, I’ve been chowing down as usual… My morning began as it normally does, with coffee & quiet time. Love starting my day this way! Then came the green smoothie, …
Just because it’s been awhile since I’ve posted a workout… doesn’t mean I HAVEN’T BEEN WORKING OUT!!! Except that I haven’t… I trotted off to Bohol on October 25, thinking I would work out every day & even post a “beach workout,” because how fun would that be?? But our trip was cancelled & we ended …
I’ll be honest… I’m always a bit nervous when someone asks me to bring an appetiser to a party. After all, I’m American, and we have a bad reputation for opening a bottle of salsa and a bag of Tostitos and calling it good. But hey, at least we’ll be on time! Which is maybe why we’re …
Something about getting back home to my kiddos after 6 days away from them made me wanna get in the kitchen. This is always a good thing. I mean, if they were little and I could spend all their waking hours with them to show how much I missed them, I would. But hey, somebody …
Hello from jolly ol’ England!! I’m here with Mark for a family reunion on his Burmese side of the family. Mark’s uncle Myoma Lwin served as commanding officer of the RML (Rescue Motor Launch) 526 Fairmile B in World War 2 in the British Royal Navy. He took command at the tender age of 19! …
