teacups and cinnamon

Wow, it's been a long time! Last time I shared a recipe was back in February, when I was in the middle of midterms and getting ready for Valentines Day! Six months have passed, and I am finally back. Although I'm not making any promises. Whenever I do, I fail miserably. So right now, my blog posts will be random surprises ;). Since...

Why hello blogging world, it's been a long time! As usual, my main excuse for neglecting my beautiful little blog is because of school. It's just hard when you have so much to do and so little time to do it (and when you want to spend your extra hours watching tv rather than cooking, washing dishes, taking pictures and then writing about...

Hello world! I'm just taking a quick (ok, not so quick) break from my studying (which I have been doing all day...on a saturday...) to bring you a delicious recipe that just can't wait till after my exams! Even though I have so many better things to do (like study), this dessert is my top priority. And because I have so many things to...

Hi world, how's it going? It's been a while, hasn't it! Well I've been doing great, if you're wondering (which you're probably not).  I've been incredibly busy with school. It's my senior year, so lots of advanced classes and all! Oh and I'm also trying to balance my new role as a wife! Hehe:) I haven't been doing too much special cooking in...

I've talked about the SPU Community Kitchen quite a few times on my blog. That's because A) I was involved with the organization for a year, and B) I got a WHOLE bunch of delicious recipes from it. We had a pretty extensive process choosing recipes. They had to be healthy and wholesome, inexpensive, and most importantly, easy to make. The volunteers (and I)...

Hi everyone! Today I have a really tasty (and pretty) recipe for you all, sweet cornbread pudding! Though its got "sweet" and "pudding" in the name, it's not a dessert. It's a savory side dish that goes perfectly with chili! I actually made pumpkin chili (recipe coming soon) to go along with it to celebrate the beginning of fall. Both were delicious together!   I...

Every summer, my mom's and aunt's garden is over flooding with cucumbers. Cucumbers (and tomatoes) are pretty much our main food source of the summer. We eat them a million different ways. Fresh, pickled, in salads, on sandwiches, etc. You get the point. WE LOVE CUCUMBERS!  My mom always makes Russian-styled pickles. They're a little different, salty, dilly, vinegary, yet not as tart as American-style...

Hi guys! So a couple weeks ago, I made homemade whole wheat pita bread and tzatziki sauce, both which were incredibly yummy. I took pictures of the pita bread but decided against blogging it, since I wanted to practice a little more and get the recipe perfect. I mean they were good and all, but I really want to perfect the recipes I...
