White Chocolate Walnut Cookies

One of the best parts about getting a sweet tooth craving is knowing you can make your own snack. The other night I had a real hankering for cookies and was about to drive over to Trader Joe’s or Wholefoods when my husband asked if we had ingredients to bake our own because, in his…

Where to Get the Best Cocktails in LA

Have you tried an omakase cocktail menu before? The concept has always intrigued me, to get a drink made for you based on the flavor profiles that you like. We trust chef’s choice for food, so why not drinks? One of the besties brought me to the Library Bar at the Roosevelt Hotel where Matt…

Caló Kitchen + Tequila

After a day at the beach, one usually gets a yearning for a solid margarita and really good Mexican food. Or at least I do. Not wanting to try the usual westside spots near us (Paco’s, Kay n Daves, or Senor G’s), we went to a fairly new spot in the south bay, Caló Kitchen…

Major (Domo) Birthday Celebration

For the husband’s birthday this year I went with a David Chang theme, meaning we checked out his new restaurant in Los Angeles, Major Domo. For his cake, I got the Strawberry Lemon cake from Milkbar. The restaurant is beautiful, both inside and out. We opted to sit in the patio. Many of our friends…

The Best Pasta Salad: Romesco

I am a sucker for pasta and potato salads. Japanese potato salad. Hawaiian mac salad. Egg salad. There’s something about the combination of mayonnaise and starch or carbs that I can’t resist. The tricky part is, these types of salads don’t keep very well. And they’re certainly not appetizing on hot summer days or at…

Houston Series: Eating in Texas Part II

One Fifth Houston deserved a solo post, after all, it was a 3-hour meal, truly living up to its First Class Tour tasting menu name. Beyond One Fifth, I wanted to share a “bests list” of either truly delicious or uniquely fun places we ate and drank at in Montrose, Houston. Best Instagram Fodder: Candy…

Houston Series: Eating in Texas Part I

Our group decided to make a long weekend for ourselves and planned a trip to Houston to visit a friend out there. I think everyone can agree that having a local friend act as a tour guide is the best way to travel. We stayed in Montrose and really loved it. Our Airbnb was a…

Summer Rolls in Temple City

The plaza at the intersection of Rosemead and Las Tunas used to be an Edwards Theater that featured 4 movies at a time. It went out of business and was an abandoned lot for several years. Now the plaza is alive again with so many good restaurants and shops including Kang Ho-dang Baekjeong, Sunmerry, and…

Who else agrees that meal prepping for work lunches can be a struggle? The husband and I typically rely on salad kits from Trader Joe’s and dress them up by adding our own ingredients to the base, like tempeh, avocado, and a boiled egg. But salads can get tiring, right? I’ve had many conversations with…
