A year ago when my teen expressed that he wants to pursue his studies in New York , it was bittersweet. I made up my mind that I’ll be giving him a small diary filled with 15-30 minute easy recipes. After a quick survey on Instagram, I had so many requests for easy healthy recipes, weeknight dinners, and bachelor recipes… Voila, it’s better to also blog those recipes, right?!…

Happy September!! We are into soup weather, cozy sweaters, and festivities.

I had to dive into my favorite season EVER with this beautiful and ambrosial ramen, which I love just as much.

I had ramen for the first time many years ago and wasn’t impressed. Three years ago, however, when I had it in Totto Ramen, I was converted. We enjoyed it so much that we had it a couple of times during that trip alone, which is quite uncommon for us. After we got back, I was determined to find a good ramen in San Francisco. Although I’ve found a few good places, it has never hit a spot like Totto. Then, it was time to try it at home. After making ramen many times, I still felt like something was missing. I was determined, however, so I kept on. So here it is, almost a year into trial and error, the easiest miso ramen which is the closest that I’ve come to New York ramen. SO GOOD!!…

Trying to settle back into the swing of things, a.k.a. the routine after a two and half month summer break, has been pretty crazy. I feel like I have a long list of things I need to take care of, but feel like a caged parrot, screaming his lungs out to no avail. Now, I’m getting back to work, and trying to get blog posts up. Testing recipes and shooting….

I love being a woman. Being a woman is very empowering. Being born as a woman is a celebration in itself.

I look at women differently now. Each face has its story. Some more intense than others, some deeper than others, but we all do carry a story. Few vocal, and few are thinkers. Oscar Wilde’s quote, “a woman’s face is her work of fiction” is often quoted to remind us that what’s on the surface may have little connection to what we’re feeling. Women are deeper….

SKILLET CORNBREAD with Jalapenos and Chives

It is Grandma’s Recipe and it is GOOD.

My trainer, he is something. He loves food, and gets excited when I bring him lemon cupcakes, his favorite. I sometimes wonder how he enjoys his desserts and competes in body building competitions. Well he does believe in moderation and asks me to enjoy everything.

We have a mutual love for food. And yes, we do talk about food every once in a while when training. Hey, when I am working my shoulders, the thought of a good bread afterwards is the only thing which makes me finish my sets.
