General Tso’s Chicken

November 18, 2013 Asian Dishes

General Tso’s chicken is a classic Chinese takeout dish. It’s very yummy, but most of the time it is made deep fried, so I hadn’t really thought of making it myself. However, I recently saw this recipe for the healthy, baked version of general tso’s chicken on pinch of yum. I followed Lindsay’s recipe pretty […]

Animal Sausages

November 10, 2013 Entrees

If you need a fun activity on a rainy day, animal sausages are where it’s at. They’re fun to make, and there are so many combinations possible. Bug sausages and centipedes if you like. Jellyfish too. And ring sausages if you slice a sausage into discs and thread the noodles between the discs. To get […]

There was a pot luck last week at school. People brought in so many yummy things, from chestnuts to curry noodles to fried rice, cookies, and chewy candies called Hi-Chews. For the potluck, a friend and I made this stuffed peppers dish. This recipe is adapted from Heat Oven to 350‘s Stuffed Bell Peppers recipe. […]

Pipette Cupcakes

October 24, 2013 Cakes

A while ago, a friend of mine had the idea of making pipette cupcakes. It is probably the most brilliant science cooking idea I’ve tried, and I think these cupcakes are perfect for your next nerdy get together. What are pipette cupcakes? Or rather, what is a pipette doing on a cupcake? Well, in addition […]

Berry Smoothie

October 20, 2013 Breakfast

Fall happens later in California than in most states, which means berries are available longer. This smoothie is one I have for breakfast frequently during the summer and early fall. It’s strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, (and a banana) and manages to combine almost all of my favorite fruits into one meal. I also like how this […]

Pan Fried Tofu

October 17, 2013 Asian Dishes

This recipe is one of the ones I make most for dinner. It’s pan fried tofu wrapped in a caramelized ginger, sugar, and soy sauce mixture. My mom made this dish a lot while I was growing up, and it’s my favorite recipe that I’ve learned from her. After helping me move into my new […]

Shrimp and Celery Stir Fry

September 26, 2013 Asian Dishes

Hello! I realize I’ve only posted sugary recipes so far, but rest assured the sugary foods aren’t all I eat. Mostly I post sugary dishes because I bake things on weekend mornings, so I have lots of good lighting and time to take pictures of desserts after I’m done. When it comes to things I […]

I’ve started Med school! It’s been great so far, with lots and lots of information, most of it very new and interesting. There are also so many nice people in my class, it’s been really fun getting to know them. The university gave each of us a white coat (with our names on them!) and […]

Blueberry Galette

August 17, 2013 Desserts

I love summer. Not only for the beautiful weather, but because berries go on sale every summer! Blackberries, rasberries, strawberries, and **blueberries** Most of the year, I rarely buy blueberries because I don’t like the taste of raw blueberries very much. But in the summer, I keep lots and lots of them in the fridge […]

Hedgehog Cookies

August 13, 2013 Cookies

I’ve been around little kids a lot recently. It’s made me think about what kids would like to eat, which brought me to animal desserts. Searching for something cute, easy to make, and entertaining to play with, I found this hedgehog shortbread cookie at Six in the Suburbs. Since it’s been a hot and humid […]
