It has been raining quite heavily this week where I am at (in quite a contrast to Australia). I have noticed that when it is raining, I feel a stronger desire to cook or bake. Somehow the rain makes me want to do more housework tasks than a sunny day does. I know that it … Continue reading Cooking and the Rain

Ambition and Messes
So sometimes I have ambition to try cooking new foods, as in my attempts at cooking the food are new, not the food itself. This weekend I somehow had more ambition than normal. I decided to try two different recipes that I haven't done before. I decided to make salmon loaf on Saturday with instant … Continue reading Ambition and Messes
Revisiting Foods
So I think that everyone has foods that they aren't super fond of or just aren't really sure how to approach. One of those for me is pancakes, which you may have read about already on this blog. I love eating them but really need more experience in cooking them. Another food for me is … Continue reading Revisiting Foods

Unfortunately, the rest of our bodies also develop a distinctive opinion of certain foods. A lot of people know what I am referring to. This often is found with lactose intolerance or perhaps a strong … Continue reading Listening to your Body

This past weekend, I went shopping and the grocery store is still rearranging the produce section. They were doing this … Continue reading Grocery Store Rearranging
Old Recipe Books and Lost Restaurants
I have a thing for buying old recipe books and reading through them. I love reading the recipes and wondering why on earth some of them were created. One of the recipe books that I have is called Luchöw's which is based off the now gone restaurant. That restaurant was famous in New York City … Continue reading Old Recipe Books and Lost Restaurants
Cooking Healthier
So trying to eat and cook healthier is a common theme. It is highly recommended for a variety of reasons. Except, it can be difficult in some ways. If you have lived a carb heavy diet previously with a fair amount of fat and sugar, it can be difficult to change those habits. I know … Continue reading Cooking Healthier
