I'm starting a foodblog! Inspired by 101Cookbooks, SmittenKitchen, and Foodgawker, I want to start documenting the meals I make. My goal is to make one dish a week, write out the recipe I used (as long as I get the recipe from the internet) and what changes I would make (if any) so I can make it better next time.

My preferred cooking style is simple and healthy. I live in a one bedroom apartment in Honolulu with a pretty small kitchen, and while this is a step up from my last kitchen (which consisted of a hot plate), I would still prefer to cook in a way that minimizes the amount of dishes, pots, pans, and counter space that I need to use.

I love vegetarian meals and can totally not eat meat, but I still like chicken and fish. I usually save eating red meat for when I go out (like Teddy's hamburgers or Diamond Head Grill's loco moco...mmMM)

I love desserts and baked goods, but I hate white processed sugar, so I will substitute any sweetener with Agave Nectar (even in regular dishes) and will try to use recipes that already call for whole wheat flour or whole grains.

My first recipe this week will be Pad Thai.
