One of the reasons I created this blog, is to share and create food memories. So, today I want to share one of my childhood food memories with you, Chinese Almond Cookies. Growing up, my grandpa worked in Macau and had to travel back and forth on the ferry. Every so often, we will take […]
I don’t have a witty or smart intro this time. This week, we are making some damn cupcakes. Some, damn delicious Paleo friendly Chocolate Espresso Cupcakes. Two years into my blog and I realized that we have yet to make a cupcake. That’s just unacceptable! Who here doesn’t like cupcakes? If you raised your hand, […]
I’m going to be completely up front. I’m running on fumes here. My son’s sleep has been completely deprived because of young Frankenstein sprinting around upstairs. It also doesn’t help that next door is trying to recreate their AMC experience every night. As any parent would know. If your baby is sleepless, you don’t get […]
How about it guys? In a week or so, many of us are going to be celebrating a marketing scheme of a holiday. The ONE day out of the year that we HAVE to treat our significant other nicely and shower them with fancy gifts. Wait… I thought that should be a regular occurrence instead […]

Happy November! Can you believe it? It’s already November. You know what that means? It is officially Christmas! Wait… what? Yes, you heard me right. It is officially Christmas. Christmas starts the second the clock strikes midnight on Halloween. It goes from candy corn to candy canes and pumpkins to Christmas trees. It is my […]
Have you ever seen the movie The Godfather? My first time watching the movie was in my late teens. I loved the movie. One scene that always stuck out to me was the assassination of Paulie Gatto. After the murder, Clemenza said to his henchman,”Leave the gun. Take the cannolis.” At the time, I thought […]
During my years in Hong Kong, breakfast was seldom sweet. Usually, we eat a traditional Chinese breakfast or a westernized breakfast of eggs and sausages. On rare occasions, my dad would make us French toast. I would obliterate my French toast with maple syrup. I am so addicted to that stuff. You understand, right? In […]
They are running at me at full speed… arms extended with hunger in their eyes. I’m running as fast as I can but my legs will not go any faster. My lungs are working so hard that it feels like I’m breathing in fire. In a state of utter panic, looking over my shoulders every […]
