To go with those Steamed Barbecue Chicken Buns I also made this lovely Asian Noodle Salad. The recipe is based on a Jamie Oliver recipe and he obviously loves using a ton of sesame oil, there is no way I could use 2-3 tbsp of sesame oil! More like 1 tsp! That oil is super […]

Shifting gears from cookies to good health…I have recently been doing a lot of research on Alzheimer’s prevention and reading the book The Alzheimer’s Answer. This illness scares the hell out of me and as much as I wanted to put that book down and not think about it, I kept reading on. I found […]
