Toddler Sampler Plate

Toddler Sampler Platter

At nearly two years old,  I’m rather lucky that The Little Empress isn’t actually picky about what she eats. She loves all types of fruits, veggies, cheese and the like. She’s never met a noodle she didn’t like. Like her Daddy, she loves pho (Vietnamese beef noodle soup) so much that she’ll [...]

Not from scratch…

The Hubster ™ would say that I’m a bit of a food snob. I pride myself on making most of our meals from scratch. Most of the time, I find meal kits or pre-processed food to be over priced, overly salty or sugary and/or not to my taste.

As far as baked goods go, I usually [...]

Menu Mondays – Week of March 9, 2009

The Hubster ™ is approaching an important work deadline which will probably have him working overtime. While this means comped dinners for him, it also means I’m on my own for my dinners. The Little Empress hasn’t been quite so cooperative lately when it comes to getting meals on the table for both of us [...]

What needs to be used this week?

Eggs
We were gifted with about 18 farm fresh eggs by my parents last week. Giving unexpected food to you is an Asian parents’ way of showing you that they love you. And we appreciated them though it would have been nice if they had asked first — we already [...]

Leftover Makeover – Peanut veggie chicken stir fry

A new Smart & Final Extra opened up this week and one of their grand opening sale specials was whole chicken for  69 cents a pound. What cheapass budget minded mama could say no to that? So I picked up two and roasted them off for dinner on Thursday night.

I had planned on making some [...]

How does your garden grow?

When we were looking for houses last spring, one of the “must haves” on our list was a backyard big enough for Miyuki and a decent food garden. We moved in mid-summer so planting wasn’t an option but now that spring is around the corner, I’ve been giving some thought on how to approach this.

For [...]

Menu Mondays – 1/12/2009

Here’s our menu for the coming week. The Hubster ™ suggested that we try to eat more vegetables, less meat and starch for our health. Helps our budget, too.
