My Cooking Style: Gourmet Budget Meals

I love eating all kinds of foods, but try to limit eating out due to its hefty price tag. My husband and I try our best to save money for our future. It is important for us to live frugally and beneath our means. But that does not mean that we can’t enjoy life, right? We try to save on everything: from rent to clothes (I’m totally a #Maxxonista), and our food costs. If you want to learn to cook gourmet, delicious, and healthy budget meals, you’ve come to the right place! I love using bold flavors, colors, and textures to transform the most humble ingredients into tasty dishes that will razzle dazzle.

Cooking Without Borders

In this blog, I will share many Chinese and Vietnamese recipes that I learned through watching my grandparents, mother, father, and extended family cook in the kitchen. They were part of the Vietnamese Boat People who immigrated to the United States shortly after the Vietnam War. We have roots in both China and Vietnam, which run throughout our culinary traditions. This blog is my way of preserving my family’s recipes to pass down to future generations, as well as my own recipes that I’ve come up with along my culinary journey. You have complete access to my kitchen diary, where you will find recipes that feature international cooking styles and cuisines. You will learn to cook and avoid kitchen pitfalls, and read my own musings on food and everything else. This food blog is perfect for you if you love cooking without borders. Better yet, these are also budget meals.

Spreading the Love

I am a firm believer in the love language of spreading love through food and I am excited to share this love with you! When I am able to, I love hosting my friends for a dinner or lunch gathering. There is something so special about breaking bread, both literally and figuratively, with people you care about. It is even more special when that meal was prepared with love and care by a special friend or family member. The recipes posted on my food blog are all dishes I have made for Ray and our loved ones; and we’ve all had a blast sharing and bonding over meals. And they usually don’t even have a clue that these are budget meals. It’s all in the love and care that you give your food. I hope that you will be inspired to go on your own cooking adventures to spreading love through food!
