Steel Cut Oatmeal -- New Obsession

 Yet, another ridiculously simple recipe. Welcome to my new obsession. Steel-cut oats have been my daily breakfasts for about two weeks now.  Really though!

Once you turn to these, you'll never go back to regular old-fashioned oats, let alone quick oats. During the preparation, I toasted the oats with coconut oil, which really brought out their nutty flavour.

Rise and Shine!

It's finally the weekend! I threw this together as a quick breakfast to energize up my Friday. This post was kind of a spur of the moment; I actually just enjoyed the colors of the photos a little too much, so that's what I'm really sharing. It's one of those recipes that make you feel silly for posting because it's just too simple...that obviously didn't stop me though. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did :)
Although I have AP mocks to study for, I'm off to explore Shanghai for a bit before returning to my duties.

Vietnamese Spring Rolls

First things first! As you may have heard, Google Reader is ending its services on July 1, 2013. They're reasoning is that it has declined in popularity and the company would also like to focus on fewer things. So, follow me on my Bloglovin' account that I've just created! You'll see the white and blue on your right side.

Anyways, I'm way too excited for spring. I've already hung up my dresses and summer/spring tops and stuffed away my sweaters. As March progresses, I'll find out college admissions decisions, go on spring vacation (hopefully!), and then in April, go on a trip to a rural village in Yunnan, China. And then there are AP tests...

I've been waiting for the longest time to make these spring rolls.

The mango gives it a slight twang, while the sauce spices it up. The best part for me, is the big bunch of spinach.

However, when it comes to eating veggies these days, I've been more cautious about the tap water because of the whole pig circumstance here in Shanghai. Ew x10000! Think happy thoughts!

Since I already have lots of Asian ingredients at my house, I figured this would be perfect to make :)
