Everyone seems to have a particular food that evokes memories of childhood. For me, it’s pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving and homemade pasta sauce simmering on the stove. Recently, I was thinking about some of the foods I used to enjoy as a child and I was reminded of the Broccoli & Rice Casserole that my [...]

Taking Chances (and Kitties!)

The majority of my weekend was spent on the couch studying for 3 exams. Nothing exciting. However, I did take some time out of my seemingly endless study session to do some volunteer work. As I mentioned in a previous post, I have been going to Petsmart every weekend to help take care of the [...]

It’s time for another SOS Kitchen Challenge entry! Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to participate in the challenge the past few months for various reasons (like when all the rhubarb mysteriously disappeared from Charlotte). Luckily, this month the feature ingredient was something that’s not only easy to find, but something that I am very familiar [...]

I have been feeling under the weather these past few days. I guess the combination of stress and lack of sleep this week has finally caught up to me. Luckily, I didn’t have much on the agenda for this weekend, so I have just been able to take it easy. My wonderful boyfriend made me [...]
Me vs. Eggplant
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Asian, broccoli, eggplant, recipe on September 7, 2010 | 13 Comments »
I have a long standing love-hate relationship with eggplant. I don’t recall eating it much when I was younger, except for holidays when Eggplant Parmesan would show up. When I first learned to cook I began experimenting with eggplant, but I never had much success. I’ve tried cooking it every way I could think of [...]

Remember the birthday cake I made for my mom? Yes, the one I promised to post a recipe for 2 months ago. Well, I finally got around to testing the recipe again and, after a little tweaking, perfected it this time. I apologize for making you wait for so long, but I think you will [...]
Facing My Food Fears
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged eating disorders and body image on September 1, 2010 | 3 Comments »
I have had many fears throughout my life, some that I have overcome and others that I am still working on. Of all the fears I have had to confront the worst was my fear of food. It seems strange to think that anyone could be afraid of something that their body relies on for [...]
