Due to health reasons, I have to avoid dairy and gluten from now on. It has been almost a week and for the first few days, I was at a loss on what to eat, lol. Hopefully, things will get a bit easier as I get used to this new way of life. The hardest […]

Sometime this summer, I found the Hereford corned beef at Costco – best brand of corned beef I’ve ever tried! I purchased a few to keep for those days when I want a no-fuss meal – just stir-fry some veggies and serve them and the corned beef on the side with rice. It’s a childhood […]

Recently, I watched a video on famous steakhouses in New York City and I had a hankering for steak since then, lol. I’m sure I don’t make it as good as the professional chefs but our ribeye steaks along with potatoes pan-fried in beef fat and stir-fried green beans sure tasted delicious to us! Not […]

A beautiful souvenir we bought back from New Mexico a few years back when we visited Carlsbad Caverns. Been “saving” it since then, lol. Keith just shakes his head at me when I hoard things. 😂

Made this when it started getting chillier back in September but honestly, like I need any reason to have porridge, lol. I like my porridge to be on the soupy side…..how about you? And my absolute favorite topping is…….crispy anchovies! Hands down! What’s your favorite topping?
