What’s in the box – Fourth Delivery of our CSA from Eagle Creek Farms
Delivery #4 of our CSA delivery was yesterday. We were warned that this delivery would be a little smaller as the spinach was not quite ready (it’s been raining a lot). However, I was still pleasantly surprised at our haul. Potatoes, Carrots, Mixed Greens, Garlic Scapes, Horseradish, Raspberries and a glorious sunflower. I also picked up a … Continue reading

Cheesepalooza…
To my dear friends, I’ve finally done it….I’m putting an end to my cheese-making virginity by signing up to participate in CHEESEPALOOZA. Inspired by last years’ amazing journey of bloggers and enthusiasts alike for CHARCUTEPALOOZA, I’ve decided to get my hands dirty and commit to doing this, instead of just being a spectator.

There are a few times every year that I get really homesick for my parents cooking. Malaysian Curry Chicken, Chicken Satay with peanut sauce and also Laksa are the dishes that make me think of warmer climates and amazing family. Although I’m blessed with only living ten minutes away from my mom and dad, and only … Continue reading

Channa Masala is a dish made primarily of chickpeas, with origins in South Asia (mainly Pakistan and in Northern India). Although it is usually served mostly dry, I prefer mine to be a … Continue reading
Operation “eat at home…” in full swing
I’m not going to lie…it’s been a rough couple of months. With only one income coming in right now, DH and I have been (for the most part) eating our way through the items in our freezer, fridge and pantry. It’s actually quite amazing that you can still create healthy and delicious meals even as you are standing … Continue reading
