Welcome to my blog! I create this blog mainly to document my food, to share cooking ideas/tips, and to preserve my not yet-written family recipes. I prefer to cook using fresh ingredients and/or what are available. I enjoy experimenting in the kitchen, creating meals. I cook with my senses so I hope this blog will help me record what I cook/create. I am a practicing family nurse practitioner, a photographer and I live to eat. Please join me in my culinary journey!

Stir-Fried Asparagus and Mushrooms with Black Bean Garlic Sauce (serves 1-2)
Sometimes after I eat a lot of meat, I like to eat a vegetarian dish. Stir-fry is a quick way to cook delicious and healthy meals if you are short on time or are hungry and need to be fed ASAP!
