This past weekend we kept my 2.5 year old niece for three days. It was her first weekend trip without her parents to see us and it went remarkably well minus naps/bedtimes which took 40 minutes – 1.5 hours as she cried and defiantly tried to climb out of bed and bargain for just one [...]

I seriously love me some good Mexican food. Chinese takes first place in my heart since I’m half Chinese after all, but Mexican takes a close second. We eat Mexican food all the time; its a weekly staple in our house which also means that fresh salsa is also a staple. My usual go to [...]

I’ve never made my own dressing. I’ve always wanted to but have just never got around to it. Until recently that is. A few weeks ago I was contacted by the folks at Stonyfield Farms asking if I’d be interested in trying some of their new Greek Yogurt line, Oikos. I’ve been using Stonyfield for [...]

You don’t know how excited I am to be posting this… I have been trying to make salsa for years. Most of the time the flavor was so intolerable we’d throw out the entire batch. My cousins who are all college students make fun of me cause they say salsa is so easy that they [...]
