Dragee Confettato

Take one full-time job, add a dash of chronic fatigue and you end up with no time or energy to get very creative in the old food blog world.  My energy tank is running on empty. Most days I manage to come home from a demanding day at work, sit in my chair in front…

Pork Lettuce Wraps

I have a *deep* love of Asian foods. Deeeeeep. Do you feels me! Some months back, while I was cruising my YouTube subbies, I came across someone new. That someone new goes by the name of Mark Weins. I swear, cross my heart, that every single upload he does to his YouTube channel makes my…

Blueberry Galettes

So, I was lounging around my desk this afternoon when the offspring mentioned it being Pi Day. Apparently,  we can also have pie on Pi Day. Yipee! It’s Pi Day. OK! We don’t have any pie though. We have a problem Houston. A quick trip into the kitchen for a quick peek in the freezer…

Rice Cubes

Rice Cubes

First of all, I’m not doing that great on finding time to post here. Ugh. Secondly, I took the pics for this post just before the light died for the day. I apologize for the quality, but when you get the urge to play with your food and decide you *must* capture the moment, you…

Wowsers! It’s 2015. Uhm. Eeeeeeeek! Where did the year go? And I’m still struggling to find the time to  work on my food blog. Go figure. HA! I thought it would be fitting to make the first official post of 2015 on Culinary Zest something that I have made a few times since the Holidays….
