Let’s Talk About My Love… Noodles. If you haven’t tried sweet potato noodles—also known as glass noodles or dangmyeon—then my friend, you are seriously missing out! These slightly chewy noodles, paired with vibrant, crispy vegetables and tender meat, create a flavor bomb that’s hard to read more
Every lunch box that I make I put much thought into it and like I said million times before I talk to my kids what would they like. Of course “pasghetti” as my son would say when he was little, with sauce are always welcome in their lunch boxes.
Before I go any further I want to talk again about safety! Putting hot/warm meals into any container is not recommended. Please, make sure that your box if you are packing lunch for you or your family is appropriate for it.
Check on the bottom or before purchasing your lunch container:
Q: What Box is safe for me and my child?
A: Look for the boxes that have clear written label that they are BPA FREE just in case if they are plastic-
BPA stands for bisphenol. BPA is an industrial chemical that has been used to make certain plastics and resins since the 1960s.
Seeking out BPA-free products may not always be easy to do. Some manufacturers do label their products as BPA-free, but some do not. If a product isn’t labeled, keep in mind that most aluminum cans or bottles have linings that contain BPA, while steel bottles or can do not. Polycarbonate plastic is generally hard, clear, lightweight plastic. It often has the No. 7 recycling symbol on the bottom.

Pasta-any on your hand or leftover Beef Sauce click here for the recipe
Pack fresh fruits, veggies and water or sugar-free beverage.
TIP:
If Beef sauce and/or Pasta is from the night before preheating it, then let it cool down for at least 5 minutes or so before packing.
I pack it in the thermal container, safe to handle hot/warm meals.
Make your lunch box rich and balanced. Giving kids fresh fruits and veggies will not only make lunch box bright, happy or beautiful but full of nutrition.
Give them choices, it’s not gonna be a waste because they talk with other kids and not even realizing that they are eating power food!

Peas and Chicken Soup is a simple soup, comforting and quite easy to make. My family enjoyed it ever so often and I know yours will as well.
As the morning was quite foggy and the sun was peaking through, I sat down with my coffee and started brainstorming recipes.
I was thinking about the recipes that could help the sick from the cold this winter season.
It has been proven that Chicken noodle soup got healing properties. However, I wanted to make something more satisfying, rich and tasty.
There is nothing more comforting than a bowl of homemade soup on a cold day.
It is inexpensive and cooking is fairly simple. Not to mention full of good stuff to comfort you at the time of need of comfort.
I made this delicious soup the other day and the full pot was actually gone for lunch.
That’s what I love to see, not wasted food. My hubby grabbed a ladle and had one more bowl.
The taste is fantastic; not bland at all, so it does have a flavor and pretty good one.
Furthermore, in case if you do happen to have loved one that is sick, why don’t you try making this soup? You will be amazed at how delicious it is.

A tasty recipe for comforting Peas and Chicken Soup.
If you wish to add mushrooms perhaps or extra veggies the taste will not go bad. A little bit of heat goes a long way, so I do recommend a pinch of red chili flakes, or cayenne pepper in the serving bowl.
Potato cooks faster than a carrot, so cut always carrots smaller than a potato to get it evenly cooked. Add Tofu instead of the chicken and use Vegetable stock and bouillon, if you are Vegetarian
Kimchi is a traditional as well as national fermented Korean side dish made of vegetables with a variety of ingredients. It is a staple of every Korean household, therefore it’s an important part of Korean culture.
The other night I was too tired to stand and cook a large dinner. I had to feed some hungry people that get pretty grumpy if their stomachs start to grumble. In other words, these Japanese Omelette Parcels were made pretty fast. Therefore, I cooked read more
This week I was asked to make a wacky grilled recipe using Mazola Corn Oil and I was thinking hard on this one, but everything I tried making was not wacky enough.
It sounded unique, but delicious and at the same time wacky. I never had grilled watermelon, so I was a little bit skeptical about the whole thing
Honestly I am not a big fan of grilled fruits; however, since we’re being honest here, grilled watermelon did add balance, spiciness, sweetness, and juiciness to the salad
This is my last post with Mazola Corn Oil but before the recipe. I could not be more happy to be sponsored by my partners, Mazola.
Mazola Corn Cooking Oils is made of 100% pure oil with no additives, so the great flavor of your food comes through.
It is cholesterol free and has become a healthful tradition in American cooking. Mazola Corn Oil also has the cholesterol-blocking power of plant sterols.
You can use any vegetables that you desire and build the salad to your preferences.
