After a day of travelling from Thailand to Taiwan, a long immigration line, a long cab ride. going directly to meetings after checking in to my hotel, and traffic getting back. I was hungry! I opted for the Beef Noodle Soup. It came with some chili sauce, some slices of what tasted like sweet pickles, [...]
There is some serious tastiness to be found behind this bright red facade! The first time we went to Little Big Burger was at the one on NW 10th and it was ok, but not worth the price or the trouble finding parking. BUT recently they opened another location near our house at 3747 N [...]
When going to San Francisco we usually stay somewhere Union Square, and let’s be honest the food in the area is usually overpriced and pretty blah. While walking around the area on our trips we always ended up drooling over the sweets in the David’s (474 Geary St), so finally we tried one. I had [...]
Yeah you read it right, Orange Chocolate Lava Cupcakes with Buttercream Frosting.. I had to make something for my coworker’s birthday and I wanted it to be fast but amazing and special. I decided to alter a box mix for a unique flavor and do some homemade buttercream (so I could lick the bowl). They [...]
It’s getting harder and harder to get Julian to eat, let alone eat something healthy, so I’m trying to come up with some ideas to make it more fun and engaging for him. I saw a thing for fruit skewers in Parents Magazine, and thought pointy sticks aren’t a great idea yet.. but pretzel sticks [...]
Our growing boy seems to be constantly eating and I’m always looking for easy and healthy things I can have for him… especially since his dad believes “vegetable” should be a four letter word. Here is our latest discovery and it’s a big hit with both the baby and adults.. actually it was a problem [...]
In the majority of books and websites you always find this recipe for pizza: mix flour with water and yeast, add salt (and maybe olive oil) mix for 5 minutes, let rise on a warm place for an hour or so. Press it down with a spindle, add tomato, toppings and cheese. Finally, bake at [...]
Speck dell’Alto Adige is something I never would have discovered without Alex and was the one thing that tortured me most when in Italy while pregnant… and unable to eat cured meats. Seriously, Alex had to keep a close eye on me because if it was in the room and he wasn’t watching I would have [...]
I love soup and minestrone is my favorite kind, it’s so comforting and guilt free. Alex hates both vegetables and soup, so any time he goes out of town the first thing I do is whip up a batch and live off it for a few days… awesome. Funny thing is, I always assumed soup [...]
When Alex and I lived downtown, we had a great Thai place just down the street that we loved. We loved it so much we had our wedding rehearsal dinner there. And then one sad day we made our familiar walk, got to the door, and found a big notice saying they were closed for [...]
