I know it's a little late but I was practically in the kitchen all day long! My hubby wanted nothing but food for Father's Day and as a good wife, I obliged. ;) I made my famous Ham, Chorizo and potato frittata for brunch and like the first time, it was delicious! We were home all day so we kind of just chilled out and watched movies and our recorded shows. Lunch was whatever we found in the fridge. Call me lazy but I didn't' feel like making all three meals today. :) Dinner was … [Read more...]

November 20, 2011 by 7 Comments
Hey everyone. You know this is the very first year I have not one item for our Thanksgiving feast? Usually I have some of the Thanksgiving essentials weeks before but this year is different. I'm too busy. I'm too tired. And I'm too "unscheduled" (is that even a word? lol) as of yet. I haven't found the right balance of working, blogging and motherhood but I'm hopeful. I know I will soon find it. But right now it's time for me to get down and dirty and figure out what our … [Read more...]

EASY & Healthy Recipe: Korean Cucumber Salad (Oinamul)
April 8, 2011 by 3 Comments
I know I said I was a picky eater not liking vegetables and all but I do have to add that I love cucumbers. It's refreshing, low in calories, contains fiber and has vitamin C. Talk about a good thing. I love it in salads and in sandwiches too. Surprisingly my 12 year old enjoys it like she enjoys an apple. Plain with nothing on it. I came across a recipe in the Diabetes Health magazine in my doctor's (endocrinologist - I have Thyroid issues) office a few days ago. Since my mom has … [Read more...]

Happy Sabroso (Tasty) Saturday everyone! (Sabroso Saturday was created by Ms. Latina as a blog hop where everyone can join in on the fun and bloggers can post their favorite recipes on the web.)

Did Anyone Guess Right….

Tracey hoped for pesto and Michele thought it was colored sugar. So, are you ready to find out what the "Green Goodness" was? It was homemade GARLIC PASTE!! Somehow the garlic turned green when my husband added a touch of vinegar into the mixture of garlic, a dash of salt, oregano and butter after putting it in the … [Read more...]
