  I have a thing for anything Asian flavored, more specifically Japanese. I mean who doesn’t love a plate of MSG + Happiness that leaves you with hulk like sweats and hot flashes? Kidding (but not totally kidding). Which is why I prefer to make most of my Japanese dishes at home, where I know exactly how much soy […]

  My weekend wasn’t anything exciting. I ended up sitting my two-year-old-going-on-fifteen-year-old sassy niece along with my currently stage-five-clinger son so I basically wanted to pop my head off. And by that I mean I really wanted a glass of wine at all times. Too bad I’m a cheap drunk, one drink and I’m in […]
