Fact: I love banana bread. Who doesn’t anyway? Since Tashi and I had started on ketogenic diet in December, we have been good in staying away from food high in carbohyrdates. Thankfully, it’s not so difficult to find low-carb recipes. I utilize the free information provided by the internet and has been fortunate in finding … More Organic Coconut Flour Banana Bread
Gorgeous week-end weather once again! Obviously, we can’t get enough of these beautiful creatures that today Tashi and I went to Lake Jacomo Wildlife Reserve to see and feed the buffalo/bison and elk. They love carrots and apples. I told Tashi, they’re just like our bunnies, PoopyBuhda and NinNin. They know who has the treats! … More Lake Jacomo Wildlife Reserve
While other places/countries are being hit by snow/storm (be safe everyone), we are very lucky to have gorgeous weather today. Tashi bought us a Friends Of The Zoo membership and we used it for the first time today. I think it’s a good idea to buy the annual membership since we go to the zoo at … More Spring in February
Aside from making zucchini lasagna for the first time tonight, I also made breakfast casserole which we ended up eating for dinner as well. Both dishes turned out good and I have to say, I’m already liking this ketogenic diet. INGREDIENTS 1 cup cauliflower florets 1 cup broccoli florets 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced ½ … More Low Carb Breakfast Casserole
I have never heard of ketogenic diet before so imagine my reaction when Tashi told me he wanted to try it. Thank goodness, information was just a click away so I was able to research about it and plan for Tashi’s low carb high fat meals for the coming week. The first dish I ended … More Zucchini Lasagna with Turkey Meat Sauce
I’m one of those kids who were lucky enough to experience living in the city and on a farm. My grandfather owns a farm in Bicol and I remember getting excited every time my family would visit Pa and Ma, my grandparents, on summer vacations. Who wouldn’t be? Air is fresher in Bicol. Life is simpler and … More Bicol
I came across these photos while moving them from my phone to my laptop this morning. If you’ll notice, these flowers are either wilted or have lost some of their petals but they are still beautiful. Would you agree? “There is a kind of beauty in imperfection.” – Conrad Hall
Tashi and I celebrated our 11th year wedding anniversary at the luxurious and historic Rivercene Mansion Bed and Breakfast – a perfect place to celebrate love and happiness and at the same time get some rest and relaxation from the busy life in the city. We stayed at the beautiful room of Miss Margaret Kinney. Margaret Kinney-Ravenel was … More Wedding Anniversary Getaway
The best way to get Tashi interested in visiting a place is to tell him it’s haunted. So yesterday, even though I was sick (but not too sick to walk) and Tashi had a bum knee, we went to Fort Osage as we had planned after learning from Don (Missouri Town 1855) that it is … More Fort Osage
It was in 2007 when Tashi first took me to Missouri Town 1855. It was also during their annual Fall Festival so it was packed especially with kids. Today was kind of a spur-of-the-moment activity for us. We thought it would be a good idea to go back to Missouri Town after eight years. It … More Missouri Town 1855
