First of all I need to say, I LOVE eggplant, its my favorite food lol. I've loved any dish I try with eggplant in it. So today I'm sharing my Eggplant Lumpia Recipe for all my eggplant lovers and vegetarians out there. Who said you couldn't be vegetarian and not still enjoy the comfort of Lumpia haha. Here is my recipe, and pictorial on how to make my Eggplant Lumpias! Ingredients 1 Large Chinese Eggplant 1 Egg - Scrambled 1 tsp Garlic Powder 3 tbs minced Yellow Onion (optional, but so good in it!) Salt Pepper Vegetable Cooking Oil Lumpia/Eggroll Wraps Instructions 1. Preparing the eggplant: Rinse your eggplant before anything. Set aside and wrap your stove top (just the area you're going to use) in foil, but you don't have to if you don't mind it getting dripped on and messy! On High, lay the eggplant directly on (if you're using a gas stove, lay it over the flame suspended on what would normally hold the pot up, and if electric just lay

Yup, if you saw from my previous blog entry, Instagram and Twitter , Lilly announced my new pregnancy in the video I made of her. We are expecting!  I officially just hit 19 weeks as of yesterday and my belly is plump as ever lol. I just recently got over most of my "morning sickness" that lasts all day. TYBG. Still adjusting to the body changes that are completely out out of my control. All the memories of my pregnancy with Lilz coming back.

Over the weekend we decided we should hit Tahoe/Reno and take Lils to the snow! She had a lot of fun and fulfilled her promise to Jeff that she was going to throw snowballs at him LOL. We also did Circus Circus and Boomtown. Where Lilly rode the rides at Boomtown endlessly because Jeff got her the 'unlimited ride wristband' haha. Sadly for us, we had no luck at the casinos, but we did enjoy the Lobster Buffet ;)

Lilly and I on her first day back to school! Welp fellow parentals, you guys know what time it is, its back to school. Although I know there are parents out there who have been counting the days for their kids to go back to school, I've been dreading it. I'm going to miss hanging out with her all day everyday, even when we aren't doing anything at all. She's been excited to go back and see all her friends and meet some new friends! She's got a new Totoro backpack and everything. Oh, and I forgot to mention she's officially a Kindergartener! I know, I can't believe it either. She will be attending her current Montessori still, she loves it there. Cant wait to see her excel in this school year! Lilly's Outfit Deets She's currently obsessed with these Mid-rise cropped wide-leg pants. She LOVES them. Its hard to put her in anything but. They're super comfy and soft. I will be making her more or something, since  its so hard to find these

  This year, Lilly turned the big 5! Half way to 10 and I was freaking out a little. But enough of the almost mom-sentimental-breakdown stuff before I ball my eyes out. It was hard for us to decide on a theme for her birthday because she likes so much cool stuff! We ended up narrowing down and decided on, "My Neighbor Totoro!" It was PERFFFFFECT. It hasn't been done a lot so there weren't too many references to work from, so the imagination really had to come in. I liked how not many people have done the theme before, and I can't wait till Lilly can look back on it!  It was the first year we weren't celebrating at my parents house! We ended up celebrating it in a really nice scenic park in Berkeley, called Codornices(If you haven't been, GO! big giant slide.). It fit the theme perfect because it was surrounded by tall trees and foliage, it was so green, and since Totoro was the Keeper-of-The-Forest, perf. I was hesitant at first to do the par
