A Chimichurri Challenge
Since starting this blog I’ve received a ton of requests for what I should cook next. It’s fun reading the crazy recipes people send me, and a little dangerous because I get the urge to buy more kitchen tools and appliances I probably don’t really need… Among the requests, chimichurri sauce was one of the few that didn’t involve deep frying or wrapping something in bacon … Continue reading A Chimichurri Challenge
Refreshing Lemon Chiffon Cake
Lemons are for summer, and with the season coming to an end, I felt like making my lemon chiffon cake! The cake is fragrant, light and airy, and not too sweet, with just a thin sugar glaze flavored with fresh lemon juice. It’s nice because you don’t feel super full after having a slice!

Don’t you hate it when people taunt you with food you’ll likely never get the chance to try? This was the story of my childhood. Malaysian cuisine here in LA is pretty scarce, but my … Continue reading Love Letters and Chocolate Mint Tea

I’m not anti-gluten or anything; I just prefer my carbs slathered in butter or soaking up the yolk of a rich eggs benedict… Mmmm… I was in the mood for toast this morning, but since I’ve been slacking with my gym sessions I knew I probably shouldn’t be that bad today. Then I remembered the avocado toast I had … Continue reading Effortless Avocado Toast
Sweet Beginnings
New Years resolutions really aren’t my thing, but at the start of 2014 I was desperate for change. More specifically, I wanted to live inspired. So I set out to do things differently. I wasn’t sure where to begin, but I believe that having an open mind makes us more receptive to new possibilities. So I decided to better myself by opening my life to new people … Continue reading Sweet Beginnings
