I love cooking!

I know I'm still learning how to cook healthy and delicious food. I feel I'm progressing. : ) yeah~ I'm so happy for that. The following is what I've been cooking lately.
This is Turkey mushroom sauce. Very traditional Taiwan flavor sauce. Sometimes I miss Taiwan flavor food and then I try to make some. I feel I've progressed a lot. Now most of time I can successfully follow the recipe pretty well. If you are interested in making, you may visit this website: http://www.wretch.cc/blog/mitong&article_id=2284888 (This is a Chinese version website.)

This is Apple-spice muffins. : ) I've been trying to find some healthier recipes for making bread, muffins, or desserts. So far I'm still bad in making desserts. (Well, according to the nutrition books that I've been reading lately. Sugar is not good for health. But dessert is all about sugar. what should I do then? According to these books' suggestion, I can use honey or real maple syrup or malt syrup or a herb named Stevia instead of sugar.) Well, anyway, I'm very happy about this Apple-spice muffins. It tastes really good. I only change milk to soymilk and 2 cups of all-purpose flower to 1 cup unbleached flour and 1 cup whole-wheat flour. I found this recipe in this website: http://eatbetteramerica.com/recipes/special-occasions/apple-spice-muffins.aspx

Yeah~ This is what I made today. I would like to thank my little sister's good friend, sister K. She shared this whole wheat cinnamon rolls recipe with me. Today I finally tried it and it was successfully and delicious. I love cinnamon rolls. It is so wonderful to eat my own handmade cinnamon rolls. Mike likes it too. : ) Thanks a lot, sister K!

Camping is fun!

Last weekend, Mike and I went our first-time camping with other 5 families. We arrived the state park after dark so it took a while for us to find our camping spot. It was a little bit scary and exciting for us to drive in a totally dark small road. We thought we were in nowhere. Fortunately, we still found the camping spot and met other families. It was so nice to see people again after getting kinda lost for almost 1 hour in darkness. : )

With other people's help, we finally set up our tent. The first night was too cold for me and Mike to sleep. This picture was taken the next day morning. From Mike's face, you can see he was still in the shock of yesterday's coldness.

Aren't they sooooooo cute? They are my special little best friend Laila and Katherine.
