Happy Thanksgiving!
It has been a while again and since the last time I checked in, I’ve completed my internship, graduated, and am officially a full-time librarian! :) Life has been insane, of course, with hardly any free time to do much of anything else other than tackling the usual life responsibilities but nevertheless, we are thankful […]

Chicken Fried Rice
I spent a portion of Mother’s Day making this delicious chicken fried rice for our kiddo. It is one of the few things that he actually loves and I typically make a large batch (as in triple the recipe below) to freeze so that all we would have to do for future meals is thaw […]
Spicy Ham Fried Rice
The best part about cooking for yourself is that you get to do whatever you want. You can use your favorite protein and veggies or whatever leftover ingredients you have in your fridge. Once again, I’m attempting to finish up our New Year ham in this easy and delicious fried rice, this time adding Sriracha […]
Turkey Porridge with Simple, Stir-Fried Tomatoes
Made this delicious turkey porridge with leftover turkey from Christmas, along with a wonderfully savory tomato stir-fry.

Porridge Rinse and place […]
