Happy Sunday Everyone!
Halloween right around the corner. All decorations are out-Spooky-and ready to say " Trick Or Treat." I am enjoying the Halloween decoration around in the city and my neighbors: Spiders, ghosts, bats, Jack-o'-Lanterns, witches, skulls and all scary kinds. What about pumpkins that we decorate, carve, bake or cook..... In Thailand, we use pumpkin to cook as main dishes and desserts. My favorite dish is "Stir-fried pumpkin with eggs" with a hinted of garlic, basil flavors and eggs make this dish a great fall dish, umm delish. I will put that up in a note to make it for later because since we getting close to the Halloween so let make something spooky like "Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Pancakes". It is a brilliant idea if you have kids :)- fun to make it with your kids even for yourself. It is an easy and quick recipe. Kids love to help you whip pancake better with their little cute muscle arms. - Continue Reading and for recipe -

AuthorHi, I am Natty! And Thank you for stopping by!! I am a foodie girl who has a passion for cooking, exercise and photography. There are so many favorite recipes from my family and friends I have tried throughout my journey that balances out and makes a healthy meal. I would like to take you on a journey to a different pantry around the world to share my favorite stories and recipes. My hope is that they inspire and benefit you. "You love someone, you open yourself up to suffering, that's the sad truth. Maybe they'll break your heart, maybe you'll break their heart and never be able to look at yourself in the same way. Those are the risks. That's the burden.Like wings, they have weight, we feel that weight on our backs, but they are a burden that lifts us. Burdens which allow us" Bones Don't wait for the perfect moment,take the moment and make it perfect. - Zoey Sayward- Archives
