Hi there! My name is Sinmi. I decided to switch things up a bit today. Things are different here today because I am introducing myself. So here are five quick facts about me.

Bluefish In Caramel Sauce

Cooking, SeafoodAugust 21, 2019August 22, 2019 Sinmi

Food is my love language. There are many things about me that I have yet to figure out. But my love language I know for sure. Food allows me to express my love for others. For me, love is the thing that makes me want to cook and feed others. The more extravagant the meal, the deeper my feelings. Making this Vietnamese-style Bluefish in Caramel sauce was an expression of love.

Curried Potato and Kale

Chicken, Cooking, SidesAugust 20, 2019August 19, 2019 Sinmi

Do you know what I have been obsessed with lately? The delicious juices that flow out of the chicken as it roasts. That juice with all its herbiness and saltiness is what forms the base of this curried potato and kale.

Lemony Spaghetti with Thyme

It is Sunday night while I write this. After spending almost an hour pondering my dinner for the night, I finally settled on shrimp and noodles. Hopefully, on Monday night it would be easier to decide on a meal. I am leaning towards a simple lemony spaghetti with thyme.

Quick Peach Rhubarb Jam

I am the queen of making of a quick jar of jam. This quick peach rhubarb jam is one of my farewell love letters to the rhubarb season.

This summer is my first summer cooking with rhubarb. It has been a gorgeous love affair, making mostly jams. Finally realized that I wasn’t going to get the good stuff at the store anymore so I am quitting for the season.

Cherry Rhubarb Yogurt Popsicles

In this episode of how I survived the summer heat, I will be discussing the cherry rhubarb jam yogurt popsicles. Alright, let me be serious for a moment here.

Thai Basil Fried Rice

Cooking, SidesAugust 15, 2019August 18, 2019 Sinmi

My brain works in two ways when it comes to Youtube channels; I am either obsessed or I am bored. There is no middle ground for me. The first time I saw Marion’s Kitchen on Youtube, the obsession kicked in. I knew I was going to make some of her recipes. I finally followed through and made this Thai Basil Fried Rice.

Ultimate Tomato Salad

SaladAugust 14, 2019August 14, 2019 Sinmi

I know Labor Day is still almost three weeks away but I feel like summer is slipping away already. Maybe it is because my real life is knocking on the door. My nursing school uniform arrived the other day. While I am excited to get going on the nursing phase of my life, I am still enjoying summer meals like a simple tomato salad.

Miso Lime Butter

Cooking, Food, SidesAugust 13, 2019August 12, 2019 Sinmi

Miso is one of those ingredients that I was slow to adopt. I just never felt like I knew what to do with it. Now, I am so on board with miso that I always have it in my fridge for days like these. You know…days when I want to make miso lime butter.

Tiny Tomatoes

Food, SaladAugust 12, 2019August 11, 2019 Sinmi

July was miserable. There is no other way to put it. It was hot. It was humid. And it was mostly intolerable.

The only thing that made it all better was the glut of fruits and vegetables that was available at the markets. From the deep red colors of the ripe strawberries to the orange flush on peaches, it was all so gorgeous. Really, it was all I could eat. I found myself reaching for fruits to cool me down because I got tired of sipping water.
