Our Perfect Palette

Sweet Potato Pie

December 6, 2018

Thanksgiving has just passed, and this is hands down my favorite holiday! As a foodie who doesn’t love a day that’s dedicated to eating, and then on top of that, you get to be around family. This year Thanksgiving was very special for me because I was traveling for the first time from the West Coast to go back home. It’s crazy to think of things you start to miss once you’re gone. I know one thing for sure is I don’t miss the snow! The East Coast got their first taste of snow, and I couldn’t be happier that I wasn’t around to experience that. In the Bay, we have our own set of issues, and the fires that have been going through California has been causing us to have such hazardous air conditions, so I hope everyone is staying safe out there!

Daughter Thai Kitchen

Daughter Thai Tacos

Dubbed as the Best Thai Restaurant in the Bay, and this is indeed living up to its name. Ever since my trip to Thailand a few years ago, Thai food has become one of my favorite foods. As a new resident of the Bay Area, I’m on a mission to find the most delicious restaurants in my new neighborhood. Daughter Thai is located in the neighborhood of Montclair in Oakland with tons of parking nearby.

Cauliflower Fried Rice

Cauliflower Fried Rice

One of the hard things about being a food blogger is balancing the delicious drool-worthy recipes with healthy recipes. True life I only try to make my non-healthy recipes when I know I have some function coming up and I can bring the rest of the food for people to enjoy. No wasting food over here, and now that I don’t have roommates it makes it a little harder to get rid of food. I do miss my certified taste testers who always kept it real with me.

Zanzibar–Where is that again?

October 18, 2018

That had to be one of the most popular questions I was asked when I talk about my trip to Zanzibar. Last May I had the pleasure of traveling to this exotic Island which is off the coast of mainland Tanzania, Africa.

5 Reasons to Explore the Beauty Aisle in Trader Joe’s

Living in New York for 6 years Trader Joe’s became my go-to for groceries. Since I was there so often and loved their food products, I found myself venturing into some of their beauty products. Some may not know, but Trader Joe’s does have a line of their beauty products and also carries some brands you are all familiar with. So don’t skip past the beauty section, it’s a small but mighty section!

Guilt Free “Pasta”

September 28, 2018

Is there such a thing as guilt-free pasta? Yes, and no. Enter Spaghetti Squash. I know you all probably heard about spaghetti squash and how people substitute this vegetable for pasta. Sounds crazy right? At first, I was very skeptical, but I always like to try something at least once. I’ll be the first to say the first time I made spaghetti squash it was a watery mess, and only left me hungry and wanting to eat real pasta! I didn’t let that stop me, and did some more troubleshooting until I figured out the perfect recipe.

How to tackle Napa in a day + Cali Update!

September 23, 2018

Before we talk Napa…a little update!

As some of you may know that I recently relocated to the West Coast for a new job opportunity. I have been here for about 3 months, and can’t believe I’ve lasted this long 🙂 In the three months, I have moved into my very own first apartment, and have been adulting every bit of the way. I wish I could go back in time, and be a young girl with no worries. Since that is not my reality I am taking it one day at a time, and adjusting to West Coast Living. It takes time to adapt to this new life of mine so please excuse me as I get my life together.
