So much snow since yesterday afternoon and it’s not over yet! Our place is a winter wonderland once again! 😁 Merry Christmas, everyone! ❤️🎄🎉
Christmas Eve Dinner
Ever since I watched an Eater video of salmon collars being served at a Filipino food stall at Seattle’s famous Pike Place Fish Market, I had been longing to try them, lol. However, for the life of me, we can’t find salmon collars anywhere locally. The internet apparently had read my mind and plastered Fulton […]
Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Easy Banana Bread
I imagine most households have a favorite, go-to banana bread recipe and when I was still baking with regular wheat flour, I had several that I love to make to use up all those overripe bananas. I’m so glad to discover that by going gluten-free and dairy-free, I won’t be deprived of enjoying a slice […]
Snowstorm
So, we had our first major snowstorm and this was the situation we woke up to – one of the birch trees on the side of our house was and is still hanging precariously over the power line. Then, we lost our power in the afternoon but thankfully, we have a generator! We would likely […]
A Walk in the Park
It has been a while again since we went out to any park – our teenager is like a hibernating bear all year long, lol. Finally managed to get him to join us for a quick walk at a local favorite…..as expected, it was busy (it was 50 and sunny) but we wore our masks […]
Mini Pandan Chiffon Cake
One of the hardest things going gluten free is not being able to bake like usual. I tried a couple of gluten free flours/methods but without much success to imitate the results of baking with wheat flour. After quite a bit of research, I finally decided to try Authentic Foods flours as they seem to […]
Decorated Christmas Tree
I think it’s the earliest we’ve ever set up our Christmas tree – love it! ❤️🎄😁
Christmas Tree and Lights
Went to get our Christmas tree on Friday (that’s Keith searching for one). The tree always looks so small outdoor but in actuality, it’s a pretty tight fit in the space we plan for it…..every single time! 😂 That evening, we put up our fancy Christmas wreath (that we got on clearance last Christmas, lol) […]
Lamb Rendang with Nasi Lemak (Coconut Rice)
I decided to make lamb rendang today with only the ingredients that are currently in my pantry – so no fresh chilies, shallots, or galangal. Instead, I used dried chilies, yellow onion, and ginger. Thankfully, I had a couple stalks of lemongrass in my freezer. It turned out soooooooo good! I served it with nasi […]
Roasted Cauliflower
The easiest side dish ever for your everyday meal or special occasion! Delicious too! ❤️ 1 head cauliflower, cut into large chunks of florets* Olive oil Coarse salt and black pepper to taste *If rinsing cauliflower florets (which I do), dry with cloth or paper towel. If the florets are too wet, they would just […]
