I haven’t posted on any social media in forever and have been busy with work/ life in general. Hoping to resolve this in the new year as my husband and I are starting to open up to the world finally. It is only fitting that I start with my culinary inspiration, @nigellalawson . Going to apologize for being a late poster as “An evening with Nigella Lawson” was on Wednesday night and today is Sunday 😜. So great to listen to such a wordsmith about her philosophy on life, food and other things! #nigellalawson #wordsmith #foodspiration #foodie #foodgram #foodgasm #foodporn #foodlover (at Massey Hall) https://www.instagram.com/p/CldV7OxuhHa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

First Valentine’s Day with my husband. Forgive the messy hat hair. Wanted to try somewhere close to our home due to the sub-zero temperature. I love you Howie! Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! 💕🥰#valentine #valentinesday2022 #husbands #gay #gayasian #instagay #asian #lgbt #lovewins #loveislove (at Hunters Landing) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ8C6qXOqjB/?utm_medium=tumblr

First post of 2022! Haven’t been posting throughout the pandemic. Honestly I haven’t felt like myself and due to the lack of activity both socially and physically, there was not much pictures to take. So today I finally back in my natural habitat. FYI Ontario just reopened after another lockdown; so any January fitness resolutions were delayed by a month. This time, I am bringing my husband with me on this fitness journey. I have some plans in the future (which I will share at a later date) but for the next few months I will be primarily getting back to a better condition. #fitfebruary #loveislove #instahealth #health #instafitness #fitfam #fitness #motivation #fitnessmotivation #instafitness #fitfam #fitness (at Goodlife Fitness Bathurst and Richmond) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZnoVPvOnK4/?utm_medium=tumblr

Breaking my social media silence to announce my engagement to the love of my life. We were talking about it for a while and yesterday we took the final plunge with getting our marriage license. #loveislove #gay #gayasian #instagay #asian #lgbt #lovewins #engaged💍 #engaged (at Nathan Phillips Square) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUx8JSVr2-V/?utm_medium=tumblr

Hey hey Foody Feasters! It’s that time of week again! #tastytuesday ! #foodspiration & #fitspiration coming your way! We are going on hiatus for the next two months, so this is going to be our last post for a little while. We are moving into a new home and we need a little break to relax between moving and the pandemic. This is our last meal breakdown for a while: Korean style beef stew with white bean mash served with pea sprouts and some lightly charred yellow peppers & zucchini. Topped with a scattering of toasted sesame seeds. Slightly odd for the hot weather but the gochujang and the miso lighten the flavour. #beefstew #prepmeal #mealprep #healthymealprep #toronto #bento #bentobox (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQs-X9eto0K/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy #tastytuesday everyone! It’s been a week since Ontario got out of complete lockdown. Hope everyone is doing well! So Foody Feasts is going on a little hiatus for the summer soon - we are moving into a new home and hopefully bringing you more interesting content by the Fall. Anyway onto this week’s #foodspiration & #fitspiration ! This week we are featuring a mixed seafood platter of seared salmon & scallops with chorizo, stir-fried bok choy & zucchini with harissa spiced chickpeas. And topped with crunchy and delicious sunflower sprouts. Mediterranean inspired flavour perfect for summer. #summer #seafood #prepmeal #mealprep #healthymealprep #toronto #bento #bentobox (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQI9UJ7N6NW/?utm_medium=tumblr

Good morning Toronto! It’s #tastytuesday again! And it beginning to look like the start of a great week here in T.O. We are finally getting out of lockdown this coming Friday. I know we are eager to get back to eating at restaurants 🍽 and doing a little shopping 🛍. But remember everything in moderation! Anyway we are food channel so here is this week’s box of delights! Carving sweet and sour pork, so made with sautéed mixed greens ( kale, bok choy & shiitake mushrooms) with brown lentils. The only sugar that gives this dish it’s sweetness comes from the pineapple and some of its juice. Typically you would have this dish with rice but wanted to mix things up. Had to top the dish with extra pineapple chunks and green onions. Not the vibrant bowl of food to look at but definitely vibrant in taste!

Good morning Toronto! How is everyone today? The weather is going crazy here in Toronto: hot one week and freezing cold for a couple of days. Luckily it’s June already and hopefully more warmer days and the end of lockdowns here. In the meantime, we hope to bring you #foodspiration & #fitspiration in these grey days. Here is the plated version of our Mapo Tofu. Just because we are eating at home doesn’t mean we can’t be fancy. 😜 The veggies consist of some broccoli rabe, red onion, pickled carrots and a mixture of mushrooms. Suitable for this crazy weather we are having. #mapotofu #prepmeal #mealprep #healthymealprep #toronto #bento #bentobox #glutenfree #dairyfree (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPk2LGYt9sp/?utm_medium=tumblr
