Dutch Dutch Baby!

Have any of you had a dutch baby before? It’s SO good! It’s simple yet looks really impressive! I was inspired to make this dutch baby after learning how to make Yorkshire Puddings last year. The consistency and ingredients are pretty much the same. I’m more of a savory girl but this was a nice little weekend breakfast treat.

Braised White Wine & Soy Chicken Thighs with Mushrooms

In my early stages of learning how to cook, I made many meals from a cookbook that I think was called How to Cook Everything. It wasn’t mine. It belonged to my live-in boyfriend at the time and it was a huge book! Probably the size of a dictionary. From what I remember though, it had some good recipes.

Los Olivos Birthday Trip

For my last three birthdays, I’ve traveled abroad and went on yoga retreats and it has always brought me so much joy. Last year, I spent my entire birthday month in Cambodia and it was incredible. I’m very forunate to have been able to travel abroad as much as I have and explore the world, learn about different cultures, and connect with new people.

Russian Cabbage Soup

I love a good hearty soup. It is my absolute favorite thing to eat. It’s always so comforting and soothing. But I never thought a cabbage soup would be so delicious until I had Russian Cabbage soup for the first time when I lived in Hong Kong. It might sound strange to discover Russian Soup in Hong Kong (or maybe it doesn’t sound strange because Hong Kong is closer to Russia) but that is where I first tried it. From a can too. And made by Campbells. Ever since then, I’d look for the cabbage soup on menus in restaurants all over Los Angeles, but it’s not an easy soup to find.

Mini Cuban-Inspired Cottage Pies for Thanksgiving

When I was road-tripping in Maine about 4 years ago, I stumbled upon a delicious pizzeria that had a shepherd’s pie pizza. It may sound strange but it was actually super delicious with the ground beef, potatoes, and corn toppings. I’ve actually never had a proper cottage (made with beef) or shepherd’s (made with lamb) pie before but ever since then, I’ve wanted to make mini versions of it because mini versions of everything are always so cute.

Happy November!

Ok, so if you’ve read my previous blog post, you know that I’m experiencing a transition in my life and that I’m trying to embrace all of the feelings that come with it—both the good and the bad. How is it going? Well, I’m on my third glass of wine tonight. This is the first week I’ve fully had time to sit in my feelings and you know what? I don’t really like it! LOL.

Road Trip!

Endings always make me feel sad and nostalgic for what was or used to be. Even if ending something felt right and is the best thing to do. Yes, beginnings can be exciting too but beginnings are unknown and uncertain and always give me a little bit of anxiety.
