Hi everyone!
When I wrote my last post, I didn’t realize that “a little break” would mean that I wouldn’t be able to blog for a whole month! Ack.
Our wedding day was awesome, filled with so much love and our honeymoon to Turks and Caicos was even better! 
As of this week, I’ve finally started cooking in our very own kitchen!! It feels great to get back into the swing of things. Thank you again for all of your well wishes and see you soon!

It’s funny how fast time flies. I feel like D and I just got engaged yesterday, but we’re just days away from being married!

Needless to say, things are a bit hectic around here. I haven’t had a chance to cook, let alone come up with new recipes. After we return from our honeymoon, we’ll need to settle into our new place, so blogging probably won’t be possible for a while.
It has been an incredible journey thus far, and I look forward to starting our life together! I will be sharing recipes from our new kitchen, so stay tuned for that.
Thank you for all of your support and love!

Hi errbody!
I’ll be honest and say that I’ve been a lazy blogger and have not been cooking as much as I should. Instead, I’ve been sitting on my butt, reading on the couch. Lucky for you, I thought I’d share specifically about the ones that made me hungry. I just finished two books (not on Kindle – good ‘ol paperback): Angelina’s Bachelors and Julie & Julia.

Angelina’s Bachelors is the story of a woman who loses her husband unexpectedly, but ends up finding herself again by cooking for a bunch of guys in her hometown, who end up becoming her closest friends. This book, at first, was a bit too Oprah’s book club for me, but it was a fast and hungry read, complete with Italian recipes that made me drool. I was not totally wrong about it being a book club book because there were questions in the end for you to discuss with your “group.”

The second book I read was Julie & Julia. Many are surprised to find that I haven’t seen the movie (not sure if really want to, to be honest). It was inspiring for me to read about all the techniques Julie learned, while going through Master The Art of French Cooking. Throughout the book, I was amazed at the volume of butter used in the recipes. French cooking is not easy, and I think I’ll have to wait a while before throwing myself into something so complicated.
Since I’m not used to reading about recipes in such great detail, I really enjoyed these books because it gave me a better understanding of the actual recipe. Not only that, but it confirmed that food is, and will always be more meaningful if you share it with people you love.
Next week, I shall return with some recipes to share. For now, I’d like to know – have you read any books this year that you’d like to recommend?

For some reason, I always remember this episode of Full House where Michelle says “Happy New Year” in a sing song-ey voice. Does anyone know what I’m talking about?
“Happy New Year! Happy New Year! Happy New Year!”
As I look back on 2011, I’m pleasantly surprised by all the memories that every recipe invokes for me. I remember all the delicious meals I share with friends and family. I’m also reminded of my culinary failures. I tried to grow my own herbs (unsuccessfully), I messed up macarons more than once, and I completely ruined my pressure cooker!
In 2012, I want continue on this journey of learning to be a better cook. I’m so thankful that I have an outlet where I can talk about food and cooking. Thank you for reading and commenting and trying out these recipes!
From my kitchen to yours, happy new year!

Since some of you have been asking, I thought I’d take a minute to share a few engagement photos with y’all. Dan and I were photographed at Central Park and Grand Central Station, which made us fall in love with NYC all over again!
