It’s been one week since I got engaged. It’s been one week since Zoe and I were able to share the joy of being engaged. Sometimes I stare at my ring in disbelief that this IS real. I had found that special someone in my life, just like my twin did. WE both get questions…
Perfect Roasted Vegetables (Broccoli, Zucchini, Potatoes)
Gluten Free Banana Oat Waffles/Pancakes
I’ve always loved waffles. Growing up, my parents would take us out on Saturday afternoons to these fancy restaurants where they served waffles for you on the spot. I would line up with my dad as he asked the chef to make a waffle for him, for me and my sister. We would watch fixated…
Vegan ROYCE Chocolate (Copycat Recipe)
What is Nama Chocolate? Nama Chocolate is a type of Chocolate Ganache made traditionally from fresh cream and cocoa, hence the name, “Nama” which is Japanese for “raw” referring to the “fresh” ingredients. Since it is made with “fresh” cream, Nama chocolate cannot be kept as long as other chocolates, and tastes best straight…

[Vegan] Kung Pao White Bean Stirfry
There is seriously something so daunting about cooking with a can of beans. I often find myself rummaging through my cupboard to find ingredients, only to my dismay, reach for a can of tuna/salmon or a bag of rice noodles instead of the beans. Occasionally I like to make hummus or make bean soup, but…

[Oil-Free] Baked Curry Tofu
My sister walked out. She looked stunning. The choker neck dress with detailed beading, paired with the beautiful chiffon-like skirt. She reminded me of an oriental princess. It was such a tender moment, as a twin sister, to see your other half getting ready for the big day. I was even more grateful for my…
My Everyday Gluten Free Bread
Daybreak. I pushed my blankets aside and walked over to the heavy balcony doors to catch a glimpse of the busy streets. Stores were opening, people were on their way to work, yet nothing could distract me from the beauty of the architecture here. I couldn’t believe I was in Paris. I stepped out with…
Amazing Miso Banana Bread (Gluten Free)
“What is proper time and improper time?” I looked up at Zoe, her brows furrowed in confusion. I sighed as I looked at the same question, I had no idea. I was tired and this physics test was driving me crazy. It was just one of those Saturdays. The day didn’t start very well. Waking…
Creamy Pumpkin Mung Bean Dahl (Vegan)
Walking along the streets and pulling my coat tighter I looked up to see the snow covered mountains. The patches of snow seems to lace around the mountains creating a beautiful pattern. It was a gorgeous sight. I knew I was lucky to be able to live in Utah. Yet somehow my heart was unsettled….
Vegan Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes (GF, Low Carb)
I love mashed potatoes. Our Filipino nanny always made the BEST mashed potatoes mixed with soy marinated ground beef, carrots, scallions and a thin slice of melted cheese. My little eyes always lit up at the sight of that huge plate of mash sitting in the middle of the table, accompanied with Chinese vegetables, steamed…
Amazing Montreal Pork Tenderloin (GF)
It’s that time of year when things start to pick up right before the holiday season. Exams, job hunting, projects and a whole bunch of other things are happening. I can’t help but feel the weight of responsibilities and deadlines weighing on me. Despite being in college for almost 5 years now, somehow I still…
