I've tried making almond milk a handful of times. I like the taste of homemade almond milk because I made it richer and creamier compared to the store bought ones. I simply have a higher almond to water ratio. Also, my homemade almond milk does not have all the questionable additives that the store bought has.

Egg Muffins are great for breakfast or snack. I can put anything inside the muffins and the kids will eat it. So, like any sneaky mom out there, I take this golden opportunity to stuff lots and lots of greens in the muffins. I sometimes put bacon or ham in there but I feel that we … Continue Reading ››
Summer is the perfect time to make Caprese salad, when basil is abundant. I like to eat Caprese salad any time, whether it's hot or cold outside. I love the combination of savory and fresh taste of the salad. What makes me love it even more is that it has protein, vegetable and fat which makes … Continue Reading ››
I'm baaaaccckkk! Our family just came back from a two week vacation, hence the lack of new posts. Anyway, being on vacation kind of inspired me to try and make new things. Even though our trip was packed with "kids friendly" activities, it doesn't mean that I didn't get anything out of them. Among the many places … Continue Reading ››
The problem I have with store bought gluten free bread is that they often taste like cardboard and are often loaded with high glycemic flours (i.e rice flour, tapioca flour, potato flour etc).

This "Asparagus Wrapped with Bacon" is very self explanatory. I'm not even sure that I can call this a recipe. It's just wrapping bunches of asparagus with bacon. You can add seasoning if you'd like, but asparagus wrapped with bacon alone will taste good by itself.
I cook everyday on weekdays. It's hard to be original when you cook that often. Sometimes, I just take the same ingredients and just make something that looks different so that my kids will not say "That again???"
My favorite thing to do with bell peppers is to stuff them. I think they're like nature's perfect … Continue Reading ››
