So the past few weeks I’ve been diving into The Steamy Kitchen cookbook by Jaden Hair. If you like Fried Rice, Stir Fry, Noodles, well, frankly, FOOD in general, you’re going to love her book. It’s definitely one to try out. Super tasty recipes, plus they are quick to put together!

I hope I’m not making your lives difficult by not currently providing a shopping list! It is one part of this blog that takes serious time, and I’m making the assumption that the menu is more valuable than the shopping list, as not everyone will choose to make everything on the menu therefore would not need the ENTIRE list. So at the moment, with my limited time and the new baby, the shopping list is on hold in order to focus attention in other areas of the site that would be more valuable to you. Thank You for your understanding!
