Chicken tenders are always on the kid’s menu, but it really should belong on everyone’s menu – no youngins in my household but we make sure to always carry tenders. Between the breast and the tenders, I will always go for the tenders (unless there’s a noticeable price difference). Its name literally describes its taste……
STICKY AIR FRIED SPARE RIBS
Grocery shopping is one of my favorite hobbies, nothing makes me happier than walking down the aisle taking mental note and images of what every store has to offer. Being self-quarantined and not being able to go out sucked, but the part that was the worst was that I couldn’t go grocery shopping! Therefore, the…

THE MOST DRAMATIC MISO MUSHROOM PASTA
Fun fact about me: I like to watch The Bachelor, and am obsessed with one of the past season’s contestant – Lauren B (now Lauren Lane). Not obsessed in the I’m-going-to-stand-outside-of-your-house-and stare-at-you obsessed, but just the “WOW, you’re my style icon, fitspo, makeup and hair guru” obsessed… I realize there’s probably no way to spin…

SATURDAY’S ARE FOR THE MARKET
Gone are the days where I spend my Saturday mornings nursing a deadly hangover from a Friday night out in the city. Since moving to Irvine three years ago – I found my greatest obsession – the Irvine Farmer’s Market at Mariners Church! Now, I voluntarily wake up at 7AM for an early morning gym…
CH-CH-CH-CHIA
To be quite honest, I haven’t always been a fan of chia seeds/pudding. I have always admired the aesthetics but never the taste. Therefore, as superficial as it sounds – I began my quest of creating the perfect chia pudding through the vain desire of getting a cute shot for the ‘gram. Being quarantined in…
