Carrot Ginger Soup | Clean Food book

December 1, 2011

A few weeks ago, a friend introduced me to the Clean Food book, saying that as someone who eats mostly veggies, it is a book that I need to get my hands on. So I borrowed her copy and have fallen in love with the recipes that lie on the pages of this book. After […]

Fig, Goat Cheese & Arugula Flatbread

October 11, 2011

You may recognize this photo from my photography challenge project. In fact, this recipe came about because I simply wanted to photograph some figs. I would see these beautiful photos of purple and green figs on some of my favorite food blogs, so when the day came to photograph fruit for the photography challenge, I […]

Pumpkin Butter with Cinnamon Cranberry Biscuits

October 4, 2011

The smell of fall spices brings childhood memories rushing back into my mind. Even though I grew up in a Taiwanese family, I also grew up in a fairly rural part of Southwest Virginia, tucked away in the Appalachian Mountains. A close family friend, who was like a grandmother to me, would always cook a […]

Vegetarian Meatballs {football fridays}

September 23, 2011

Back when I used to eat beef, one of my more favorite things to eat were meatballs. I just really enjoyed having them with my spaghetti. Now that I don’t eat red meat anymore, I really don’t miss it at all aside from my occasional cravings for.. meatballs. I thought it was high time I […]

Fried Green Tomatoes with Gutherie’s Sauce {football fridays}

September 9, 2011

In the South, football is a religion. I both look forward to and dread the fall season. Fall means cooler weather, which after the hot and humid Southern summers, feels glorious. It means the end of summer produce and the return of fall flavors: pumpkin muffins, butternut squash and apple pie. But it also means […]

Curry Shrimp with Spicy Mango Quinoa

August 27, 2011

I have developed a recent fascination with curry. I just love how versatile it is and how many dishes I can make with it. Growing up I can distinctly remember one curry dish that my dad would cook for us at our family restaurant, it consisted of potatoes and chicken. But now that I don’t […]

Japanese Pickled Cucumbers | Pickling Party on my Birthday

August 10, 2011

Today is my birthday and I have never pickled anything before. Before two days ago, that is. When Shauna of Gluten Free Girl announced a social media Pickle Party following the success of last month’s Pie Party, I figured this was as good a time as any to try my hand at pickling. So, I […]

Asian Caprese Salad | Farmers Market Season

July 22, 2011

Historic Norcross is one of my favorite local places to go. In fact, before the city passed that ban on dogs in parks, I was eyeing Norcross as a place where we would eventually move to. Oh well. But, I still do love the area. We made a stop at the Whistle Stop Farmers Market […]

Rosemary Vidalia Onion Focaccia

July 19, 2011

I have been wanting to make this focaccia recipe for a while now. Ever since that incredible meal at Antico Pizza, when I was served rosemary focaccia that was so delicious, my eye rolled into the back of my head. And Paul, well he loves all things bread, as most men do, most men that […]

Spicy Sauteed Eggplant & a Giveaway {closed}

June 23, 2011

A couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of sitting down to a lovely dinner at Sufi’s Atlanta with a wonderful group of foodies. One of the appetizers that we noshed on was Sufi’s Special, sauteed eggplant with onion, garlic, chick peas in a slightly spicy chili sauce. It was probably one of my favorite […]
