I was reluctant to add this to my blog, because I ate so many peas growing up, it isn’t even funny. I shelled more peas with my little hands in the summers than most people would ever even think about shelling in their whole lifetimes. I was so sick of peas, especially zipper peas. I [...]

I tried several blueberry muffin recipes, before coming up with this one. I noticed that recipes for blueberry muffins in old cookbooks have about half the amount of sugar as modern cookbooks and recipes. So I compromised, so the muffins aren’t too sweet or sour.

This is one of my recipes I came up with on the fly. When the day has been hectic, chasing my toddler around and running errands, I will quickly defrost some chicken breasts under running water, and make it up as I go along. Sometimes these recipes aren’t the greatest because I am missing an [...]

These are better than any take out you will ever have. The spicy mustard recipe that follows is probably more German inspired, than Asian, but it sure is tasty with these egg-rolls. This is a combination of one of my husband’s dishes and my neighbor’s that I have improved on. My neighbor also made these [...]

These are the most perfect chocolate chip cookies you will ever have. I have tried many recipes for chocolate chip cookies, until I came up with this one. This cookie is slightly crisp on the outside, and soft and chewy on the inside. It is the perfect compromise between the chewy chocolate chip cookie and [...]
