In the Kitchen: Oatmeal Lace Cookies

These delicious cookies are thin, light, crisp and chewy and made with surprisingly basic ingredients. Cookies have an unfortunate reputation for being high calories and a heavy indulgence but this recipe is much lighter at only 33 calories per cookie!

Tips from the Kitchen: How to Eat Chicken Wings

Now, if anyone knows me, I will go to extreme lengths to not eat with my hands. So yes, that means I do not use my hands when I eat wings.

Buzzfeed recently released a gif-set on how to (properly) eat chicken wings which I am completely mind-blown about because I have never heard of this way! Unfortunatelly it does require a lot of hand work, so I'll stick with my fork but hey, this is definitely worth sharing!

In the Kitchen: Skinny Vegetable Pasta

Adapted from Skinny Taste

Vegetable Cream Pasta
A light pasta dish loaded with vegetables! Perfect dish for both winter and summer (more so, summer when tomatoes are at their peak!)

I like to add a little Tabasco or Sriracha to add a little kick but if you are not a fan of spicy food, you can omit the red pepper flakes and any spices all together. This recipes takes little to no time to make so it is great for university students!

Moo Kyo Dong Nak Ji

If you love Korean spicy food then you will love Moo Kyo Dong Nak Ji. Similar to Joon's, it features table top cooking. I actually prefer this restaurant to Joon's.. so much more authentic!

Why We Have Not Eaten McDonald's since our Senior Year of High School

During our last year of high school, when we were about 17, J and I decided to go on a McDonald's strike because we didn't particularly agree with the way McDonald's prepared their food. 5 years later, we still have not eaten any McDonald's (hey, give us some credit. McDonald's is practically a staple when you're in university but we haven't once touched it!). Recently, it has become more of a competition (hey, bet I can outlast you in this!) than our first initial health-conscious reasoning. However, when this video (below) recently went viral, it has completely renewed my mission against McDonald's food - or any fast food for that matter .

Sake Bar Kushi

I bought a Groupon for Sake Bar Kushi, a newly opened izakaya that specializes in kushi (aka. grilled Japanese skewers!). Usually, I don't expect too much from Groupon restaurants but SBK really exceeded my expectations!!
