I'm not a picky eater at all, but cooked pineapple has always been a bit nauseating for me. However, thanks to this tasty cake recipe, I'm beginning to move past it.

Although I defintely won't be ordering up Hawaiian pizza any time soon....

Lots of soups with hearty greens and beans! Here's one of my favorites that's so easy and can be eaten all week:

Also ethnic food is a great place to look for flavors so those low carb, high veggie meals feel more satisfying. A big Asian slaw with spicy peanut dressing is a go-to, or hearty greek salad with some meat balls spiced with shawarma seasonings and topped with feta cheese. My favorite weeknight meal is throwing together an affordable veggie curry (or add a little meat- a great way to stretch it) over a big bed of roasted cauliflower instead of rice.

mochi mochi and more mochi. So much red bean in my life. Can't tell you how many times I've bit into a fluffy looking pastry expecting (hoping for!) cream and getting a mouth full of sweet red or white beans. Needless to say I've developed a bit of complex over the years: carefully splitting all my pastries from now on to check the filling first.

I bake weekly for a department seminar, so I've been trying out a number of homemade, portable and easy to eat treats. So far these muffins have been the biggest hit!

Actually not I item in my place (#5) (except my couch which was still only $150) cost more than $70! It's just a LOT of patience with craigslist, goodwill and some DIY!
