mr. miles everett first off, as you can see, i have not been contributing to my poor deprived blog. the last post was in april, which was when i found out i was pregnant with my first baby. a couple things were going on then: 1) i was too nauseous to even think about food (being pregnant is NOT a foodie's friend in the first trimester), then 2) when i finally got my appetite back, all i wanted was take out. i probably won't have time in the new year with a new baby, but i will try to post something at least once a month because blogging about food makes me happy and one of resolutions is to cook more. don't be surprised, however, if my next post are lactation cookies or baby food. anyway…on with my comeback... i found saw this recipe in the november issue of real simple and knew i wanted to make it. i assumed it was something that can be whipped up in a couple hours, but then quickly realized that it was a slow cooker recipe, which would take 8 hours of cooking t...

the main table with the all the L goodies one of the reasons i find new recipes to try is that i need them for the parties i plan and/or host. so, i thought it'd be inspiring and fun to add posts about the parties i've put together, along with the food i contributed. i've done a couple baby showers at work and birthdays, of course, but this one party was a little more special for me. it was a bridal shower for my boss, who i've also been hired as the day-of wedding coordinator. she got engaged in august, but i had been secretly brainstorming way before that. i wanted this to be perfect, as i knew it would be my pièce de résistance! first things, first...how do we surprise her? people in the office are well aware that when i'm gone for a period of time, there is a party decorating session happening. so, i schemed with my other boss to fake a sickness. i was really worried that she would not be fooled since i never, never call in sick. but, this worked like a ch...

(photo coming soon) the search for lettuce wraps began with the L-themed bridal shower i was throwing for my boss, but it was also for my personal needs. i may or may not have mentioned this before, but i have been trying to be more health-conscious and choosing to wrap meat in lettuce instead of tortillas is taking a step in the right directions. the "sweet & spicy" part of the recipe was what made me choose this one over others i was considering. and, it didn't hurt that this seemed really easy to make...which it is! the marinade was great and i'd use this for anything really, but this was simple and just what i was looking for.

the first time i tried korean bbq short ribs, i was having dinner with a past boyfriend and his parents. it was pretty good, they had an indoor grill and we used that right at the table to grill these sectioned off morsel. but, the next time i tried them, i felt like it was the first time all over again. my favorite all-you-can-eat korean bbq restaurant is in mountain view, ginseng korean bbq & tofu . they have quality meats and the marinade is just right. and, if i'm in need of a quick fix, i go to westfield mall in san francisco to make my way to sorabol korean restaurant , where they have the best food court korean bbq i've ever encountered. so, when you love something so much, the best idea is to learn how to make it...and it turned out to be super easy.
