This is the first recipe that I would like to share as a continuation of my K.I.S.S. Cooking Methods series; partly because it is one of the early recipes that I discovered, and partly because I think it is a good start to Asian cuisine. Cooking Asian-style cuisine is a great way to introduce healthy…

I have recently come to a realization about cooking; creating incredibly ornate dishes can be a wonderful experience, but sometimes you need to just “keep it simple…
What is it to become a father, to have life completely changed and rearranged? This is a harder question to answer than I originally thought, simply because the answer is so vast. It is a small and a big answer; because the change is both small and big. I had been led to believe through…

It was at this point that I knew I had to support my wife, I knew I had to be strong for her, but I couldn’t. My world as I knew it was falling apart.
