  • Dinner is Important to a Relationship

    For a normal 9-5 person, most of us spend 1-2 hours of daily commute. We race out the door in the morning to get to work on time. We race out of the office to get home to spend as much time as possible with our loved ones. But it never feels like enough time…

  • Day 30: Veggie Burger Salad

    Here’s to the end of my 30 days of salad challenge! Who knew I could make 30 different type of salads, some of which I enjoyed…some of which I could improve.

  • Day 29: Beets, Garlic Scape, and Quinoa Salad

    This is the first time I’ve ever encountered garlic scape in person. I’ve heard it talked about, cooked with, and praised. I’ve just never bought one or seen one at the supermarket.

  • Day 28: Poached Egg Kale Salad

    Nothing says weekend like breakfast in bed. CSA had included white kale and I really wanted to try this new recipe that my boyfriend got at Mar’s restaurant, kale and pickled eggs. I only started to pickle eggs the previous night so I decided to replace with poached egg for a breakfast meal.

  • Day 27: Fruit Salad

    Friday tends to be my busiest day in the week. Meetings at work and meetings with friends and dinner. But the latter is always the best part of the day. Especially since this past Friday, I got to have Korean lunch at Hanjan with a dear friend I hadn’t seen in almost 3 years. So…

  • Day 26: Pho Cabbage Salad

    I love soups in the summer despite the heat and humidity. I always could go for a bowl of pho or ramen. So I decided to make a salad with a “thin” broth.

  • Day 25: Fig Nectarine Salad with Blueberry Dressing

    I used to very much dislike figs, mostly because I hated the taste of those awful fig newtons. I always thought it tasted like eating paper with some jam.

  • Day 24: Ramen Cabbage Salad

    Another long work day. For a quick salad meal, I opted to my favorite dish. Ramen. Instead of making it as a soup, I decided to stir fry it over lots of cabbage.

  • Day 23: Swiss Chard Salad Pizza

    Today was my first day as a freelancer again! It was a long work day that by the time I came home, it was getting late. What better way for a quick dinner than a Boboli pizza with salad and no cheese.

  • Day 22: Lemongrass Curry Swiss Chard

    It’s a new week of salad and I wanted to start fresh. After finally figuring out that swiss chard is not a veggie I can eat raw, I decided to cook it up and serve it with a light curry sauce.

Got any book recommendations?
