Happy Spring!!! The weather may have been disagreeable these past few days, but it is officially spring! Woo hoo! The end is in sight! Ahhh…now that I’ve gotten all that out of my system, let’s celebrate with this simple and light but oh so yummylicious, […]

Feels like forever since I last posted something! “Has she fallen off the face of the earth?” some of you might wonder (I wonder about that often myself). However, the truth is nowhere near as dramatic. 🙂 I’ve just been feeling sooooo… exhausted lately, and the […]

I miss blogging, believe it or not 🙂 despite its time-consuming process but I just can’t find the time or energy to do it lately. Between homeschooling and work (not to mention the still depressed and anxious “puppy” who’s continuing to keep us up at night), blogging […]

Since early March, we have been on a maple syrup and french toast kick and the end is nowhere in sight…yet. 😀 The downside (besides the weight-gaining, of course) is that our super-delicious local maple syrup stash is decreasing at a faster rate than we had initially […]

I can’t (surprisingly) find challah bread where I live…so out came my trusty bread machine to help me whip up one. 😀 This recipe can be found in the King Arthur Flour Whole Grain Baking cookbook (a favorite of mine) or on the King Arthur Flour […]

On the day I was making the peanut cookies, I was making CNY treat #2 at the same time. 😀 The Nian Gao batter was quick and easy to put together, and all I had to do was keep an eye on the steamer to make sure it did not […]

Update October 9, 2012: I just found out from Keith that the Chocolate-Cherry Banana Bread is now his favorite banana bread. 😀 Last weekend, we took Alex to the mall just to have Auntie Anne’s pretzels. Yum! Anyway, while we were there, I took the […]
