Cooking creatively – Caraway and homemade okara hummus
Jon and I have decided to be a bit more adventurous when it comes to home-cooked meals. It turns out that there’s a lot of different foods out there and deciding what to try first is really tough. The approach we’ve decided to take is to take an untried spice and use it to cook […]

Homemade Soy Milk
When we went to Colorado for Christmas my parents had homemade soy milk. It tasted just like soy milk from a Singaporean hawker stall and I decided I had to have it again once we returned to Seattle. It’s not all that hard to make actually. It’s way cheaper than store bought soy milk too. […]

Homemade bagels!
Last Monday we made these bagels for FHE http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Bread-Machine-Bagels/Detail.aspx They came out great! The bagels were a lot easier to make than anticipated. Even though the recipe says it’s specifically for bread machines you would be able to make them by hand (it’d just take a lot longer). Once the dough was done all we […]
