Spanakopita (Spinach Pie)
I cannot believe it’s been over 10 years since I started this blog! I still love to cook and have gotten kind of good at it :) So when people ask me how I started cooking, I realize it was memorialized in this blog! It was really fun to be able to read back and… Continue reading

Natto Brand Reviews
I love natto! I love natto mixed with green onions on top of steaming hot white rice and a bright yellow yolk in the middle with a dash of Maggi on top. However, I have learned the hard way that not all natto is created equal. There are some natto brands, and even textures (whole… Continue reading

Chicken and Pineapple Stir Fry
I love shopping weekly sales and the past few weeks, pineapples have been on sale. I don’t know about you guys, but I have limited use of pineapple. It goes: Peel and eat pineapple. End of list. Unfortunately, that gets old really fast so I’ve started to embrace cooking with it, especially when it’s been… Continue reading

Double Coconut Muffins
The sun is shining today in LA after the rainy Friday and so it only felt right to make these double coconut muffins. I was actually never a big coconut fan growing up.

Butternut Squash “Soup” – Slow Cooker Edition
I recently made some Butternut Squash Soup because my throat was killing me and decided I needed a soup. In retrospect, I should have made a thinner soup but I couldn’t think straight.

This utilized little bunches of raw/cooked vegetables in my fridge.Topping it with an egg made it breakfast. Sliced brussel sprouts and yellow squash sautéed in the rendered fat of one slice of bacon. Threw in… Continue reading

May’s Munchies: Almost Whole 30
Now that I know that my sister voluntarily looks at this blog for food ideas, I want to be more active! I couldn’t keep spamming my Instagram with food pictures either so… I feel like the hottest food diet right now is the Whole30. I tried it myself and lasted only a week. There was… Continue reading

Sweet potato breakfast bowl (leftovers edition)
I’m calling this a breakfast bowl because I ate it with a sunny side egg on top. For breakfast. That’s all the qualifiers necessary right? Yes. Yes, yes, yes. I roasted sweet potato, broccoli, and cauliflower earlier this week to have accessible vegetables for meals throughout the week. I chopped them up and sautéed with… Continue reading

Pizza Bites, 2014
Turns out, I have been kneading my dough wrong this whole time. I have accidentally been beating it up, thinking I was “kneading.” Then, I discovered this video tutorial from The Kitchn: how to love your dough (i.e. how to knead properly) Continue reading
About Me
I’m May! My favorite way to cook is following a recipe to see the first outcome before changing to my liking. Real cooking is my favorite kind of content, where it feels like the cooking/recipes are achievable. I am Asian American and while rice is life, I love big salads, pizzas, and burgers too. Currently living in LA
