Green soup probably doesn’t sound the most appetizing, but trust me when I tell you, this soup is surprisingly delicious, comforting, and not to mention, super nutritious. I crave it all the time. Here in Dallas, it’s been gloomy and raining the past few days. It’s finally beginning to feel like autumn is here. Which means it’s time for oversized sweaters, cozy blankets, holiday seasons, and comforting food. Though I enjoy cooler weather, it makes me crave comfort foods that are not ...

Asian fusion weeknight chicken stir-fry
Towards the end of the week, I often find myself in a dilemma as to what to cook for dinner. Groceries at home are usually running low, the motivation to cook is just as low, and all I can find are odds and ends in the refrigerator. I always think to myself, “let’s just get take out and call it a night”, but then I struggle with the fact that I’m letting those last few vegetables and meat still left in the refrigerator just go to waste. The solution to my end of week cooking dilemma is a ...
Eggs poached in fiery tomato sauce (eggs in purgatory)
Weekends are all about recuperating and de-stressing from the hectic week. The best way I know how to do that is by sleeping in, lounging, and brunching. I absolutely adore weekend brunching; since you’re combining breakfast and lunch, you have the perfect excuse to not only eat more food, but also more varieties of foods. I make it a point to brunch out at least every other weekend. First, I take my time scouting places for the best brunch spot, I then check their menu online and call to ...
Rustic French style apple tart (Galette)
Fall has officially begun and so has apple season. I don’t particularly love eating apples on their own because of all the chewing that is needed. I do, however, love baking with apples. My all-time favorite dessert to make during apple season is a Rustic French style apple tart. I love apple tarts so much that when I was in the process of designing my website’s logo, I was adamant that it be a part of the design. Yes, my love for this delightful dessert is that deep! Anyone who knows ...
Simple flaky and tender butter pie crust
Pie crust has to be one of the simplest and easiest things to make at home. Everyone should try their hand at making pie crust; once you do you will never buy frozen supermarket pie crust ever again. Frozen supermarket pie crust contains ingredients such as benzoate, propionate, and beta carotene. Do you know the purpose of these ingredients? I sure don’t. This homemade pie crust recipe only has 3 basic ingredients: flour, butter, and water. All of which you can pronounce. I am aware ...
The ultimate sweet & savory grilled cheese
Last week, I made this peach chutney using the scrumptious end of summer peaches. If you haven’t checked out that recipe yet, here it is again. It’s a combination of sweet, savory, spicy, and tangy flavors that your taste buds will love. My favorite way of eating it has been to spread it on a seeded cracker topped with a bit of cheese. Its utterly delightful, but eventually I ran out of crackers. Normal humans would’ve gotten bored and moved on to something else, but not me. When I love ...
