Dinner’s About Ready

Oh yeah, I’m just exaggerating. What I mean is, the crock pot has been set three hours ago and the scent of the short ribs is starting to envelope the whole kitchen. Sure, my portable Hamilton Beach Air Purifier is on and I trust this gadget to do wonders in killing the […]

Signing Off

Gotta log off for now, as the husband is about to come home. I have the ingredients waiting for me in the kitchen. Tonight, I’m making pasta, Aglio Olio, a recipe that I have been making over and over again as the husband loves it.
It should be easy. I’ll just have to start up […]

Healthier Alternative

After that artery clogging, cholesterol laden kare-kare dish the other night, I made sure that last night’s dinner was a healthier feast. I prepared grilled marinated salmon, steamed edamame and baked sweet potatoes. I must say, that the salmon was a winner. I have been constantly on the hunt for a real good salmon recipe, […]

It was a lot of work because, I simply refused to […]

Nevertheless, my ever voracious husband enjoyed his dinner immensely and ate the food (beef and spinach) with gusto. Wanna know what […]

Late Dinner

The husband called a few minutes ago to let me know he’s leaving the office. See what a difference a day makes?
Last night at about this time, he was already home and in fact, our supper was almost about done. What did we have last night? Here, chicken and buttered steamed broccoli.
I’m not really […]

Fish and beans

Flounder and string beans, that is. This is what we had for dinner last night.

I was excited to dig in because, I didn’t cook for a little more than a week. Nothing beats the taste of home cooked meal. Was it delish? Sure it was. I haven’t had fish also for that long. I’m a […]
