To accompany the chilled cucumber soup, I prepared a refreshing brown rice salad. Both of these dishes could be made ahead of time, saving you valuable relaxing evening time. Cold dishes like these really do offer you more interesting lunches as well. What you don’t see in the image is a side dish I also [...]

I think I’ll keep this post short and sweet with a little added spice today. Annoyingly I have come down with a nasty chest infection which has forced me to take a day off work. I suppose it’s not such a bad thing to stay at home and rest instead of spreading my smelly germs [...]

Can you see a wee theme going here. This one is definitely a take on a post from yesterday. Yup, I loved that mushroom salad so much I wanted to make a variation. Grilled and roasted veggies are soooo goood. This one is similar but different, if that makes any sense The main component is [...]

So here we are, work has officially commenced after the glorious golden week here in Japan. Ahh。。。なつかし I’m so terrible at choosing omiage (souvenir) treats for my teachers in all of my 3 schools I teach at (Aprox. 100+ teachers). I always have the great intention of picking the best I can find. It’s a [...]

Can words describe this very breath of spring? Can a photo explain how it makes me feel? Here I found a space to take a deep breath and finally let it all go, thanks to a mid-week holiday. Ahhh… release. Here I sit in our favourite park, the air is fresh and everything surrounding [...]
Edamame Salad with Wasabi Dressing

This weekend was off to a rocky start from Friday night. Coming home with a head full of stress then waking up at 4.30 am on a Saturday morning worrying about work is something I don’t want repeated. To top it all off, all the dishes I made completely flopped too. Definitely something to do [...]

There goes another weekend. Here’s what happened; A short bike ride took us to Akaoka Beach for lunch, but the wind was insane… Something had to be done about that, so we stopped in at our favourite cafe, where they make the most delicious baked cheese cake I have ever eaten. Just look at [...]

It was absolutely stunning out until the torrential rain started. Oh rain, why must you disrupt my happiness? Not to worry, at least one day out of the weekend allowed for some adventure. I figured with all this eating, I really should burn off at least some of it some how. We took a ride [...]

Spring is most definitely here. No complaints from me about the sudden increase in temperature. Spring fashion, food, BBQs, sunshine and swimming in the sunshine, those are amongst some of what I look forward to in the coming weeks. Only one thing which stands between me and my sunshine fun times is…..W.O.R.K. Holidays are most [...]
It’s Cooking Time!
May 2012 M T W T F S S « Feb 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 Here I am.
How would you describe your eating habbits? Do you live to eat or eat to live? I think from this blog of mine you can more or less guess which I'd use to describe my eating habits.
I love to indulge, but I also love to stay healthy. This is where this blog begins. I want to have a good reason to why I cook something, and enjoy experimenting with ways I can make what I eat healthier and more convenient (you'll find a lot of my recipes are made in the rice cooker)
From cakes to salads, I want a reason to justify why I make or eat them. I will also never compromise on flavour, which is why I try to use only the freshest of locally grown ingredients. Even now that I am a poor student I will never give in to value pack offers from huge supermarket chains! If I can't eat a lot, at least I know I consume what I need to stay healthy.
I hope you like my blog. I'm still learning and experimenting, with both cooking and photography, so if you happen to stop by or pop back to take a look from time to time, please feel free to make suggestion, leave a simple comment or to simply rant.
I'm looking forward to hearing what you have to say.All the best,
Suzie Sue
