Two of my new year's resolutions for 2012:
Cook More + Eat More Fruits and Vegetables!



I will try to bring my own lunch to work as much as possible this year.
1. Celery sticks. 2. Sliced cheddar cheese. 3. Sourdough bread. 4. Tuna Salad with celery, red onions, jalapeno peppers, cilantro, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper.

I will try to have more healthy snacks.
5. Fresh strawberries.

Have a wonderful 2012!

My awesomely fast social life has officially started to slow down since Sunday (yesterday :p) when most of my great friends had left for Turkey for their summer break. Now that I have so much time on my hands, I have decided to bring myself back to the kitchen and cook again. Boy have I missed cooking! I spent my entire Sunday grocery shopping, cooking and baking, and I feel sooo good right now. (White Beans with Meat served with Pilaf and Tzatziki, and Traditional Turkish Sesame Pastry) I have made some traditional Turkish dishes as I was craving for them and I wanted to share them with you. There are four different recipes involved so I decided to divide them into 3 different posts Part 1:  White Beans with Meat (Etli Kuru Fasulye) + My Mom’s Pilaf (Pilav) Recipes Part 2: Cacik, or as our komsu (neighbor) calls it, “Tzatziki.” (Recipe by my brother.) Part 3: Traditional Turkish Sesame Pastry (Kandil Simidi) Hope you guys like them!...
