Hi friends!

Welcome back to another vlog!

They say the hardest part is showing up, and this weekend, I showed up for myself in the biggest way. I ran my first ever half marathon! From couch to 21.1 km, this vlog shares the full journey, the nerves, the prep, the early mornings, and of course… all the food that fueled me along the way.
One thing I was super excited for was the carb loading, so this week we are making some delicious and hearty carb fueled meals like my dad’s egg & spam fried rice, creamy mushroom & tomato pasta, and juicy spaghetti & meatballs!
Running has become so much more than just exercise, it’s been a form of healing, growth, and rediscovery. I never thought I’d be here, but I’m so proud of how far I’ve come. Whether you're thinking of signing up for your first race or just here for the food, I hope this vlog reminds you to trust your body, fuel it well, and believe in yourself, even when it's hard. 💛

Hi friends!

Welcome back to another vlog!
I’m currently training for my very first half marathon (!!) and this journey has been such a surprise. Not just physically, but emotionally too. Lately, every week feels like a blur of long runs, cozy meals, quality time, and tiny moments of rest.

This week’s vlog includes a little bit of everything: healthy, easy meals (like my new fav farro chicken salad + poke handrolls), gentle workouts, comfort food (cabbage toast + the BEST banana muffins), and honest thoughts about body image, burnout, and learning to fuel with intention, not guilt.

Thank you so much for being here. For cooking with me, moving with me, and letting me share these tiny but meaningful moments with you. See you next week!

Hi friends! This week, I’m taking you with me to Taiwan, my hometown, my comfort zone, and the place where some of my sweetest memories live.

We started our journey with a visit to my dad’s hometown, Nantou. From eating at the noodle shop he loved as a kid, to walking through the spots he used to take us to on weekends, everything felt familiar in the most comforting way. We also visited Sun Moon Lake, one of the most peaceful places I’ve ever been.

Another highlight was a little staycation in Wulai with my grandparents. This quiet mountain town is just an hour outside of Taipei and known for its hot springs, Indigenous culture, and cozy food spots. From charcoal-roasted chicken at a local favorite, to wild boar sausage and grilled mochi, it was the perfect way to slow down and just enjoy being together.

Thank you for being here and for letting me share this new chapter with you. I hope it brings you a sense of warmth, comfort, and inspiration to hold the people you love a little closer.
