中秋节快乐!-Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Each year, this holiday occurs on different days, because it is based on the Lunar calendar which runs differently than the Gregorian Calendar. On this night, we feast in open air while admiring the oversized full moon, at least, that’s what I did when I was a child in China.

Me and My Pies

Every year, on Thanksgiving or Christmas, I get to use the kitchen to make something no other person in my family seem to know how to make.

A Memorable Lunch

I love to cook. If you ask me why, I would probably tell you it’s the same reason I love to garden or I love to crochet. I love making things for myself. I love the extraordinary because ordinary is just so…boring.

I tried Intermittent Fasting and Why it didn’t work

I have been on many diets throughout my life – limited-calories diet, low fat diet, low sugar diet, and clean-eating-to-the-extreme diet – so intermittent fasting was just another diet to lose enough weight

Banana Yogurt Power Green Smoothie

I am in love with this Banana Yogurt Power Green Smoothie. It is absolutely one of my favorite smoothies I’ve whipped so far.

Dinner’s Complicated? Think again

Have you always considered dinner to be the most complicated meal of the day? You’re not the only one. I have a headache when it come to what to eat for dinner, not just on particular nights but every night.  The fact is dinner can be complicated when you want it to be complicated but it isn’t complicated one bit.  All you need is some organizations during your spare time.  I know, we’re all working individuals, some of us juggle more than one job and not to mention kids.  So how can we have any time to spare? Well I’m here to offer some helpful tips.

Coffee for the Caffeine-Sensitive

I have a sensitivity to caffeine. It doesn’t mean I am allergic to caffeine. It just mean I can’t really drink caffeine without getting a massive headache and dizzy spells. That’s why if I ever have to choose between a selection of sodas, I would always choose Sprite.

How to Fry Rice

I love fried rice. I love making it and I absolutely love to eat it. I can never get enough of it. Unfortunately, my mom doesn’t like fried rice though, she prefers the traditional steamed rice. On the other hand, I don’t really like steamed rice because of its bland taste. I like my food full of flavors, that is what makes a meal enjoyable.

Vegetable Stir-fried Pork

Doesn’t this look wonderful and delicious? Now that my mom is out delivering Chinese Food every night, I finally get to cook and I can’t wait to see what I whip up.

8 pounds of ham and a whole lot of toothache
