personal diaries.

ok so lately iunno whats been up, but i really think im a chef.

ive been throwin down some wicked meat dinners, impressin everyone, including myself.

then yesterday i tried tried to duplicate the coconut sticky rice that me and my boyfriend die for at Spring Rolls. ... it didnt turn out so good. lol

now im literally in the kitchen tryin to whip up rice pudding (ew right? till you taste my boyfriend's grandmas! lol)

i found a receipe online, so HOPEFULLY, this will turn out a little better then yesterday's rice!

ill update you.

xo.

t.ashley aka chef ramsey

UPDATE: well it actually didnt turn out too bad (not like boyfriends grandmas tho) ... i mean the rice shoulda been cooked a little longer so it wouldnt be a little softer ... lol ... otherwise, yum!

p.s i made some homemade iced tea ... american style (literally cold tea)...and geesh, it actually tastes pretty good!

healthy living.

me and a.banks both adore our mini carrots && at this moment im sittin in class chowin down some. heres the twist ... renee's asian sesame vinaigrette! my boyfriend's sister threw some on salad the other night and i fell in love.

here's some other things you can do with the magic sauce:

. it makes a great Asian noodle salad
.drizzle onto a spinach salad with grilled chicken, mandarin slices and sunflower seeds (YUM!)
.perfect dip for spring rolls, chicken or tempura vegetables

.splash it on cabbage or spinach salads

other reasoning for loving it:

.health benefits! (trans fat-free, no artificial flavour, no artificial colour, dairy-free, egg-free, vegan, cholesterol-free, low in saturated fats, MSG-free, made in a peanut-free facility)
