Express Noodles

Noodles is Asian favorite. I do observe most children like noodles compared to rice. I love too cook noodels as a quick fix for my family Saturday lunch.

Life is busy with lots of unexpected events. Be sure to keep lot of spaghetti. Spaghetti has great texture -al dente which is just good...

Korean Kimchi Omelet / Fried Eggs

Now it is time for me to use the homemade kimchi to create some new dishes. I found that kimchi pancake is very interesting. Once I had dined in a Korean restaurant & they serve the pancake last as a complementary "dessert". I like the taste of kimchi pancake.

Healthy Granola for Breakfast

Granola is a real healthy choice for breakfast if you bake it yourself. That's because you can control the amount of sugar & fat in your very own homemade granola. You won't believe how simple it is.

Since this is heavily loaded with the cinnamon spices, I find...
