When we were in South Korea for 10 days, aside from the tour to the DMZ D was most looking forward to the Starcraft Tournament in Seoul. Back before our blogging and travel planning days started, D was a part-time computer gamer – limited to the computer game Starcraft II. When I would be cooking [...]

Japchae is a Korean dish made with glass (sweet potato starch) noodles and vegetables. I have had glass noodle dishes before but never been served them by Koreans, so when our couchsurfing hosts in Gyeongu, South Korea mentioned that Japchae would accompany the acorn jelly salad for dinner I was elated.

To switch it up a little bit from the few Asian themed recipes I posted recently today I’m sharing a quinoa recipe. I fell in love with quinoa earlier this year and used to cook it at least once a week. It will definitely be one of the foods I will miss while I’m frolicking around Asia [...]

This quinoa with mushrooms and asian flavors has quickly become one of my new favorite recipes. My relationship with quinoa got off to a rocky start last year but once I gave it another chance and cooked it correctly I was hooked.

I love having home made pesto in the fridge. It’s perfect for all snacking occasions. When I come home from work starving, lacking even the energy to make it through cooking dinner, dipping a few crackers into pesto refuels me and holds me over until dinner.

Last Thursday I received my third From the Farmer DC Delivery. They always deliver the baskets between 4 and 7am so I giddily wake up for work, rush to the front door and unpack the basket of goodies, all excited to see what fresh fruits and veggies are in store for me. Kind of like a child [...]
