Pumpkin Bundt Cake with Pumpkin Glaze #Bundtamonth...
Confession time: I bought a bundt cake pan from Amazon on December 4th of last year (I went back to my Amazon account to make sure I had the right date) and I just used it for the very first time on Saturday afternoon. Yeah, it’s pretty embarrassing as to how it took me almost an entire year to finally use it. I think it was because of all the horror stories I hear about how the bundt...

Baked Chicken Parmesan
I don’t know about you guys but I tend to skimp on dinner. “Skimping” meaning I stick to Special K-type cereal dinners. I just get so exhausted when I come home from work, I can barely lift the cereal box out of the cabinet and pour it into a bowl.

That’s why I’m so glad I found this recipe. It’s easy, simple, so comforting and also perfect for...

Mummy Hot Dogs #SundaySupper
Can you believe Halloween is just 4 days away? I apologize for not having any Halloween posts other than some pumpkin recipes. But today I have my first official Halloween post: mummy hot dogs.
[[MORE]]
Now you should know that these hot dogs only requires 3 ingredients: crescent rolls, hot dogs and mustard. But as I’m wrapping these guys up, I realize that I don’t have mustard....

Recipe from the archives: Pumpkin Donut Holes
I was reading over Lindsay’s post the other day when I realized that among all the crap that happens, you sometimes need to take a step back to appreciate the little things in life.

Like getting the corner elliptical machine at the gym so you don’t have smelly people side by side.
Or hearing gangnam style on the radio during your drive to work and dancing like a crazy...

Banana Nutella Granola
It’s barely 8:00PM and I’m ready to go to bed as I’m watching the second Twilight movie. I can’t stand any of the Twilight films yet I get kind of hooked when they’re playing on TV. It’s ridiculous, I know. I think I just keep watching it just to make fun of it. That’s what I do with Keeping Up With The Kardashians and Married to Jonas. Or maybe I just...
4th Annual Foodbuzz Food Blogger Festival Recap

It was such a blast, and I got to hang out with so many awesome bloggers like Gerry from Foodness Gracious, Krista from Budget Gourmet Mom, and Shawn from I Wash… You Dry.
My most favorite part about the festival was the farmer’s...

Chicken Pesto Sandwich

It was such a blast meeting so many new people, exploring the city, and being pampered at the Saturday night gala which was held at California Academy of Sciences. I have a post ready for you guys tomorrow to share all my experiences so stay...

Quinoa Veggie "Fried Rice" and a Giveaway!...
We’re wrapping up breast cancer awareness week with an awesome giveaway! But first, I bring you yet another healthy dish: quinoa veggie fried rice. This recipe here is a spin off my go-to Pancetta Fried Rice except I’ve taken out the greasy, yet amazing pancetta, and added more veggies and substituted quinoa for the brown rice.

Quinoa is one of my favorite ingredients...

Blueberry Oatmeal Yogurt Pancakes
As you read this post, I am on my way to San Francisco for the Foodbuzz Food Blogger Festival! I am incredibly excited for all the events that are lined up for us, like the walnut harvest tour and the TCHO chocolate factory tour, and I also get to spend some time with Jason so I could not be happier. I hope to see many of you out there! If not, I’ll be sure to keep you guys updated via...

I was so touched when Erin had asked me to join in...

#MuffinMonday: Blueberry Cornbread Muffins
My name is Chung-Ah and I am a Dexter addict.
It’s bad guys. Just a couple of weeks ago I was starting season one and now I’m somehow managing to watch half a season a night. And it’s not like I don’t have anything to do. I have a full-time job, I have to manage this blog, I have to do various home errands like cleaning and doing laundry among a ton of other stuff. It...

Cream of Broccoli Cheese Soup #SundaySupper
I absolutely love this time of year. The weather cools down, the gorgeous autumn leaves begin to blossom, my UGGS come out of their shoe boxes, the smell of freshly baked pumpkin goods surrounds the kitchen every weekend and of course, warm, hearty soups soothe the soul with every spoonful.

That’s exactly what this cream of broccoli cheese soup does. It’s incredibly creamy...

Sloppy Joes with Avocado and Fried Egg
Before I get into these amazing sloppy joes, lets first talk about gym etiquette. I go to the gym 6-7 times a week, but as much as I love doing the elliptical while watching Dexter, it’s been getting increasingly annoying to continually go to the gym day after day.
[[MORE]]
So as you see below, I’ve made a list of gym rules that I think should be followed by everyone: 1. Please do not wear...

Spicy Chipotle Pesto Pasta
I had the day off from work yesterday so I spent the day batch-cooking for the rest of the week. It’s been a really long time since I had a weekday off and I forgot how nice it is to just stay at home and catch up on some daytime television. I think I watched about 4-5 episodes of Scrubs back to back. Plus, the laundry room was completely empty so I definitely took advantage of that too.

#MuffinMonday: Banana Cinnamon Chip Muffins
Is it really Monday, already? Wow, this weekend went by incredibly fast, more so than usual since Jason came home. We had such an amazing weekend together, overeating and indulging in foods we wouldn’t normally eat when we’re apart, spending time with friends and family, and watching 6 minutes of the pre-season Laker game before heading back to the airport so he can fly back to SF.

Spicy Roasted Shrimp Sandwich with Chipotle...
I could not be more excited that it is finally Friday. Not only because it’s the last day of the work week or because I get to look forward to sleeping in tomorrow instead of being stuck in LA traffic but also because Jason is coming home tomorrow! I haven’t seen him for a month so I am absolute ecstatic that he’ll be flying in Saturday morning.

So instead of staying...

Texican Burger
Let’s talk about phobias today. Mine is bugs. I hate them. I can’t stand them. And I seriously think they can kill me. It’s ridiculous but I can’t help it.

I’m particularly not fond of spiders, especially the ones on my white wall in my bedroom. One time there was a spider on the wall that my dresser was on and I tried to kill it but I chickened out and...

#MuffinMonday: Raspberry Orange Muffins
Happy Monday, everyone. Well, technically it’s not a happy Monday because Mondays suck but I hope I can make it a little bit better with this week’s Muffin Monday. But before I get into that, can we talk about Dexter? I’m like 6 years behind but I just finished the first season today and it is amazing! I don’t know why it took me so long to finally watch it. I am...
