#140: Takoyaki (たこ焼き)
I’ve been meaning to make this recipe for a while now since it’s one of my favorite appetizers to get at Japanese restaurants as well as from street vendors whenever I visit Japan. Though, with takoyaki requiring special equipment to make, I was putting it off. But with us being a bit adventurous this month,…

#139: Baklava
For our yearly tradition of finding Easter recipes to make, I was trying to think of something that would be a traditional Pascal dish, while also still being in line with our theme and this Eastern European dessert was the perfect choice! Traditionally made for Easter (as well as other holidays), baklava is a sweet,…

#138: Nopales (Cactus) a la Mexicana
Originating from the Americas like almost all cacti, nopales, or the pads of the prickly pear cactus, have been a great and important source of nutrition and have been a culinary staple from the time of the Aztecs to even now. This ingredient is such a great source of vitamins and minerals, as well as…

#137: Cioppino
When I first heard of this dish, much like our previous seafood recipe, I had thought that this was some sort of fancy European soup. But, not only is it not fancy, it’s not even European! Cioppino finds its origins in San Francisco during the 1800s, where Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese fishermen combined whatever they…

#136: Sourdough Bread
Originally, I was planning on making this recipe a lot sooner, as you could see in the background of some of my videos in November, but my starter was being pretty temperamental at the time due to the cold, so I decided to let it develop some more and make the recipe later. Initially, I…

#135: Seafood Paella
This recipe is one that sounds super fancy but is actually super simple to make. When I first heard of Paella, I thought that it was some super fancy Spanish dish, but actually, it originally was a lunchtime meal for Valencian farmers, where they would gather what was available to them around the rice fields,…

#134: Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo
I’ve been meaning to do this recipe for a while now since it’s quite a cheap meal to make as well as meatless, so it would’ve fit well in last month’s theme, but since I usually eat this meal for my Friday fasts normally, I thought I would highlight it for this month. Shrimp Fettuccine…

#133: Caprese Salad
For our first recipe this go around, I wanted to start with a simple recipe that requires little work since this first week of Lent has a few more days of fasting than other weeks. So, I thought that this salad would be a great way to start the Great Fast with something simple and…

#132: 1 Pot Pasta
For this recipe, I was inspired by our previous 1-pot recipe to try to come up with another recipe that requires little clean up. Especially with me being under the weather this week—if you couldn’t tell from the sound of my voice—I was really not wanting to spend too much time in the kitchen cooking…

#131: 1 Pot Salmon Rice Cooker Meal
This recipe is one that I’ve been making for a while now and it’s such a simple and easy way of cooking an entire meal all at once. So, it’s one that I’ve been wanting to share for a while and I think that this is a great way of using a whole bunch of…
