July 25, 2008

When I first started making bentos for Lil’ C, I found that I was always throwing away leftover spaghetti sauce. I only needed a little for her bentos and never seem to be able to finish the whole bottle by the end of the week. Then I began to freeze them in an ice-cube tray. [...]

Dressing up your food

July 13, 2008

Sorry for being MIA again lately. The weather has been awesome this week and we have been taking advantage of it. We have a very short summer here and so when the sky is blue and the weather is warm, everyone is outside playing. Sometimes I feel like we are just like the bears. We [...]

Fruity Agar-Agar

I love agar-agar especially those with coconut milk. It’s very easy to make. This is what I usually bring to a potluck when I am too lazy to make anything fancy. But I usually try to use different molds just to have fun. If you are interested in the recipe, it can be [...]
