When my sister and her family were here this past week, I decided to make Chicken Mushroom Soup, a celebratory staple in our family. Instead of rice, the soup was served with mee suah and hard-boiled eggs – this dish brought back a lot of wonderful memories! For […]

With the warmer weather, my chives have been growing rather quickly and abundantly in my garden. That and the fact that we’ve been getting May weather in March, I figure it’s time to make our much-loved, favorite macaroni salad. I told Keith, if there’s only one summer dish I could […]

Boiled peanuts? I have vague memories of eating them when I was a kid (I think the peanuts might have even come right from my grandmother’s own garden), but I have never ever forgotten their taste. Isn’t it funny how our brains work? Now, I’m glad I can find bags of […]

This is a dish I first saw in Kimba’s Kitchen a while ago. I thought it’s a great way to have the flavor of sushi (Keith and I LOVE sushi!) without the hassle of making them. In my mind, I was already imagining our favorite sushi […]

Happy New Year!! You guys are in for a real treat! This recipe is named after one of my best friends – Louisa because it originally came from her family. I first tasted this sauce way back in high school but I didn’t officially get […]

A simple and delicious treat! It’s funny the things you can or cannot remember about your childhood. I can still recall a special outing to the cinema with my cousins and grandfather when I was really young. I don’t remember what we watched but I […]

Whew, it’s been forever since I last posted something. I thought I would have more time in the summer to blog since school was out but it didn’t turn out that way. We were all too busy cramming as much “outside” time as possible into […]
