Cranberry Pear Bread with Blueberries

Christine Yoon-Taylor — Sun, 04 Jan 2026 22:46:32 +0000

I had a sweet friend who used to gift us the most delicious pear bread over the holidays. The top had the most amazing crispiness and crunch while the inside was perfectly moist. It was SO good and I looked forward to it every year. Sadly, we lost touch over the years but I think...

The Best Black Bean Burger

My husband and I went to India for a friend’s wedding over 20 years ago. I’ll never forget the amazing time we had celebrating the start of a beautiful marriage, enjoying time with friends while making new ones, the incredible sights we saw and so much more. I didn’t even mention the food part! We...

Hello all, it’s been a while since my last post! Hope this finds you all well!! Now that my girls are 20 and 17, they go out and experience things on their own, without me, which is so cool but sad at the same time. An example of one of those things are Acai Bowls....

Snickerdoodles Made Healthier

Christine Yoon-Taylor — Thu, 01 Jun 2023 14:52:53 +0000

Snickerdoodles have always been a family favorite ever since I discovered Doctor Yum and her healthier versions of food. These snickerdoodles made healthier are just as delicious as any other kind you’ll run across! They’re deliciously chewy with just the right amount of crispiness when you bite into one. So tasty! Doctor Yum’s recipe is...

Best Big Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Christine Yoon-Taylor — Fri, 12 May 2023 14:51:27 +0000

When my girls were little, they always pined for those giant chocolate chip cookies we’d see at bakeries and restaurants but could never have because of their nut allergies. I tried so many times to make them myself but they always turned out big and super flat. Sad face emoji. But I was determined to...

Roasted Butternut Squash Pasta

Christine Yoon-Taylor — Thu, 03 Nov 2022 20:49:55 +0000

While shopping at Trader Joe’s the other day, I happened upon some very reasonably priced pre-cut butternut squash and couldn’t resist its charms. Butternut squash is so tasty but so hard to cut when bought whole. And if you’re suffering from tennis elbow like I am, forget about it! I was looking forward to making...

Easy Cake Pops Using Box Mix

Christine Yoon-Taylor — Thu, 20 Oct 2022 13:20:10 +0000

Little Sis REALLY wanted to make cake pops over the weekend but I wasn’t as thrilled. I’ve never been crazy about thought of traditional cake pops. Mushing a perfectly fine cake up with frosting using your hands?! Eeeeek. Instead, I just made them like regular cake using my cake pop pans. “But that’s just not...

My sister-in-law Kris made this delicious lasagna for us a couple years ago and my girls just loved it. While she couldn’t give me an exact recipe, I was able to come up with my own that was pretty close. This Chicken Alfredo Veggie Lasagna has the girls’ seal of approval so it’s a winner...

Easy Pan Fried Sweet Potatoes

Christine Yoon-Taylor — Mon, 04 May 2020 19:15:28 +0000

I have always enjoyed a nice sweet potato as a healthier alternative to baked potatoes. Never mind that it involved lots of butter, sugar and cinnamon. My family, not so much. But slowly, one by one, I’ve won them over to the sweeter, healthier side. Especially with these Easy Pan Fried Sweet Potatoes! First was...

Stay-at-Home Kind of Easter

Christine Yoon-Taylor — Mon, 20 Apr 2020 20:56:50 +0000

It was a stay-at-home kind of Easter this year. For many years now, we’ve spent it at Nana’s house with the hubby’s side of the family. The kids hunted for eggs, Minecrafted and we all played games together and enjoyed a delicious meal afterwards. Of course this year, that didn’t happen thanks to Coronavirus. But...

We are living in crazy unprecedented times. The Coronavirus has changed the way we live and has probably changed it forever. It has brought out the bad things in us (like hoarding!) but it has brought good things, too. People are looking out for one another more than ever and coming together in so many...
