The onset of cold weather has always been an excuse for me to work out less and eat hot, creamy, heavier foods. It’s a terrible combination that’s just become a fact of life year after year. I guess it doesn’t help that I recently quit my Crunch gym membership in lieu of a membership in [...]

I had always used the words sweet potato and yam interchangeably. It wasn’t until recently that I learned the difference. Here in the US, we are more accustomed to the yellow orange “sweet potato” with the pale yellow flesh. There is also the darker-skinned “sweet potato” with a sweeter, orange flesh. (This was the kind [...]

Potatoes are one of the ultimate comfort foods, especially when smothered with creamy cheese sauce and baked to tender perfection. I’m also amazed with the versatility of the Panko bread crumbs purchased at Asian Food Grocer a while back with the $25 credit provided by the Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program. Excellent website for all your Asian [...]

I wanted a thick and hearty stew, a meaty, carb-filled meal we could scarf down and immediately fall asleep to half an hour later. Pot roast and potato au gratin immediately came to mind. Pot roast usually [...]

Tilapia is one of my favorite fish to cook. The meat is budget-friendly but still good, and it comes out perfectly tender and flaky from the oven. 2010 was definitely the year of the oven for me after I realized how simple yet effective it is to just bake my meats. I’ve baked Tilapia in [...]

Drawing upon inspiration from a fellow food blogger, my roomie, a friend, and I set out one Fall evening to duplicate the yummy looking stuffed zucchini boats at FoodMayhem. There was also a failed attempt at making a low-fat salmon patty that night, but let’s not get into the nitty gritty details. =) We followed [...]

Look at that delicious deep jungle green color. Recently whenever I’m in the mood for soup I’ve had the tendency to boil some split peas with Trader Joe’s low sodium chicken broth, and 1 1/2 hours later, voila! I first created this “crazy” concoction Thanksgiving 2009. Unfortunately, only three people at dinner tried it, and [...]

I ate here on a very special night back on January 31, and while I know I’m backtracking, there were just too many good eats in the past that I have to mention in my food blog. Perilla is a “Seasonal American” restaurant owned by Top Chef season 1 winner Harold in the West Village (very close to [...]
