Writer’s Workshop : I Currently Like
Persian Salad with tomatoes
There are many different things that I like at the moment. I’ve started a few changes to my routines this January and am loving seeing how the changes have benefited me so far.
Here is a list of 5 of the things that I currently like.
1. Eating more salads.
I make salad a twice a week and incorporate more varied vegetables into our family diet since starting menu planning. I simply love the Persian Salad with tomatoes which is really easy to make. I found this recipe from the book on Tomatoes and tomato dishes which I borrowed from the library.

2. Playing with the kids.
It is fun having them around and we can go crazy on the swings and slides in the park or even playing catch. Sometimes when it is raining and we have to stay indoors it is fun having a race with the remote control cars or playing dress up or dollhouse.
CNBlue
3. Listening to my favourite KPop groups.
CNBlue, Shinee, Super Junior are on my playlist and are the boy band groups which the kids and I love listening to.
4.Watching Korean Drama online.
The Korean Drama- You who came from the stars staring Kim Soo Hyun is one of my current favourite show. The other Korean drama which I am watching is The Prime Minister and I. Both these shows are really addictive.
Books to read
5.Reading Photography and cookbooks
I’m actively pursing my interest in photography and polishing up my cooking skills. The three books above are the latest addition to the stash of books which I am slowly making my way through.
What are the things you currently like?

I love your list.
And that salad looks divine!
I should make a list. Maybe I’ll stick to them better each week. Seems I fall in last and I’m always so exhausted.

I want some of your salads. Mine are usually dull looking or just contain lettuce because that is all i have in the house sometimes.

Hi Dominique! does your children eat vegetables? i really want to start eating more salads but i have detested it since young (i would automatically want to vomit when i eat them). it’s as if i associate vegetables with grass.. and i want to overcome that! please let me know if you have any ideas which can help me start eating veg 🙂

I am also doing that kind of salad here but we are using cabbage, tomatoes, onions and canned sardines.

I need to eat more salads. Yours looks delicious! Nothing better than spending time with your kids. I’ve never head of the Kpop group and I’ve never watched shows online before. I’ve tried reading about photography, but I might do better hands on. lol I’m going to pull out my cookbooks because I’m so out of meal ideas! I shared about a childhood movie I loved. =)

@Mimi,
I agree that hands on with the camera is much easier then reading a photography book. I do both as I want to know the reasoning behind why some of my shots turn out the way they do and how to adjust the dials on the DSLR properly.

Now I have a blogger friend who’s an ELF, Boice and a Shawol like me! We share the same likes in the kpop world. 🙂 Haha. Naexcite lang ako. 🙂

I think you have the right priorities in placed. 🙂 My current passion, is fish and eating right. It’s a hard habit to established.

Visiting from Alphabe Thursday…
I’m also enjoying eating more salads…and reading cookbooks! It’s always fun to find and try new recipes.

the persian salad is very colorful! i wish i can reignite my love for korean dramas since i’ve been in hiatus for 2 years now. i miss the mind boggling and complicated storylines!

Love me some cookbooks. My go-to is an old Betty Crocker cookbook. They are still available in stores like Walmart or Target, look for a red checkered cover. My mom had one and so did my grandma. Now I have one too. 🙂

Oh, I love your list Sis! I will try to make the Persian salad as well. I’m really determined to focus more on my health this year and I’m also thinking of adding more greens and fruits to my diet. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

Thanks for the ideas! I love eating low-carb, too! 🙂

I love the Persian salad that you have pictured at the top. Salads with lots of fun things in them are my favorite. I can’t stand a plain lettuce and tomato salad. I need some peppers and cucumbers and such.

Oh, I would love to add salad to our daily menu, too. Wish we have a nearby market where I can buy fresh produce so I can make it everyday. Sometimes when I stock on veggies, it tends to get rotten or spoiled in the fridge for some reason, huhu.

great idea to read what your interested in, and learn more. The salad looks delicious. I like quilting, which is new for me. I’ve always liked fabrics and wasn’t wild about sewing clothes; this is something just as fun! {:-Deb

CNBlue won in the GDA! 🙂
I’m watching Man from the Stars, too. Also watching Empress Ki, Can We Love, One Warm Word, Miss Korea, and Inspiring Generation. Haha, obviously I’m just as addicted to Kdramas as you are. Oh, and Running Man, too! 🙂
January 17, 2014 @ 7:22 pm
@Rebel Sweetheart,
yeah!! Empress Ki is another show which I do watch too.. haven’t been watching Running man for a while though.

I am so with you on the books. I read cookbooks like they’re juice novels. I’m a little bit addicted and have a ridiculously HUGE cookbook collection. And I’m kind of in love with that tomato salad. yum
