Last Sunday, I finally decided to use the homemade rendang paste I had stashed in the freezer since January…of this year (I’m not that terrible of a procrastinator…I think). As always, every time I make rendang, I wonder why I don’t cook it more often […]

Sunday is usually a big cooking day for us, so that all we would need to do during the busy weekdays is just reheating. One of the dishes we made this week was grilled turmeric chicken. This recipe originally comes from Linda of Roti n […]

This post was originally published back in January 2009. I finally decided to update the photos, and republish it seeing that the recipe is a family favorite! We absolutely love these turkey burgers, which are just bursting with flavor and are not greasy at all. […]

Wow! We had a -10ºF temp. with a wind chill of -38º overnight! It was definitely the coldest I’ve ever experienced since I’ve been here. We survived the night, thankfully! The house is still intact – the roof did not come down on us despite […]

Now, my quest for a great dressing/stuffing took longer than my search for the perfect turkey recipe, but I think I might finally have it. 😀 After many trials in the past years, I’ve discovered that I don’t really like strong-tasting herbs such as sage or rosemary […]

Perfect Roast Turkey – that’s what Ina Garten called her recipe on foodnetwork.com and I have to say I TOTALLY agree. I came across this recipe a couple of years back when I was searching for a delicious but quick and hassle-free roast turkey recipe, and […]

Wow! It was a gorgeous day today! I think we might just have officially used up our quota of good days for the year. 😀 Since we opted not to cook a big Thanksgiving meal (which we will be doing at Christmas instead), we decided […]
