Having the sniffles, stinks.
I woke up this morning feeling as if I’d swallowed a softball. Blech. My nose was pretty stuffy and my sinuses ached. I stayed home from work and did nothing all day.
Then it occurred to me: What is the one thing that could make me feel better? My mom’s Chai.
Well, my mom [...]

Garam masala is the one spice mixture you need for Indian cooking. Store-bought doesn’t cut it for me. Call me high maintenance, but you can’t skimp on good flavor and spice!
I make a lot of curries and most every recipe,  if not all of them, requires 1 tablespoon (I like my curries spicy!) of this [...]

So simple, so sinful.
I love potatoes. I really don’t think “love” is a strong enough word for how I feel about these starchy roots of heaven.
One of my coworkers and friends JLN told me how he made these mashed potatoes that were to die for, and then he 1-up’d himself and baked them.
That was enough [...]

Gooey, delicious, and guaranteed to be horrible for you, these cinnamon buns are amazing.
I can’t in any way take credit for this recipe. My future bro-in-law makes these buns and they are to DIE for. He uses the recipe off King Arthur Flour’s web site. And since that just so happens to be the flour [...]

Every few days, REB and I have a date night. A lot of people do it, and we do too. It’s nice to be able to forget about work, other people, any thing else really and just focus on spending time together. I love when it happens all the time, though. OK enough gushy stuff.

We [...]

The ultimate comfort food, and just so happens to be one of (out of many many many) my favorite foods EVER. Pasta and cheese? Yes, please!
I don’t make it that often because it’s obviously not the greatest thing for your figure. But when it’s the weekend, and I need that ultimate comfort food, this is [...]

Being vegetarian can sometimes be hard. Since we don’t eat meat, we have to find other ways to get protein into our diets.
Good thing we love tofu.  (^_^) Tonight REB and I felt a little Asian (a little easier for me than him. Bahahaha) and made a super easy tofu stir fry for dinner. If [...]

REB and I were waffling between making stir fry or pizza for dinner. Since there was football on TV, I think the obvious choice was pizza. However, my thoughtful sweetie said it might be fun to make our own dough. So we did, and it was amazing.
I can’t take any credit for this recipe. We [...]

I might be one of the only people who doesn’t like bleu cheese. I mean, I don’t hate it, but I prefer other cheeses. Give me cheddar, mozzarella and gouda any day over the bleu. When I ate meat, I was the girl who dunked her Buffalo wings in ranch. Bleu cheese is just so [...]

Today two of my coworkers and I went to Seoul Garden for some Korean food. This place is a true hidden treasure, kind of tucked away off State St. across from the Damons in a little business park. But it was so tasty! I love food that is priced very decent (by Ann Arbor standards) [...]
