#142: Shrimp Cocktail
The first time I had heard about this dish was actually from the animated movie, The Incredibles, when Mr. Incredible is lavished with what I thought was a very fancy meal, but it actually turned out to be quite a cheap and easy thing to make, even from scratch. Of course, you can buy pre-made…

#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!

#135: Seafood Paella
This recipe is one that sounds super fancy but is actually super simple to make.

#119: Lobster Butternut Squash Ravioli
I was trying to think of a really special recipe to end this year’s round of Nostalgic November dishes with, and after thinking back on the dishes I’ve enjoyed in the past, this ravioli dish came back to memory after reaching back to my childhood. Specifically, this ravioli dish came from the same restaurant I…

#112: Monster Apple Slices
For our first Spooky recipe for this year, I thought it would be fun to start with another simple and easy-to-make treat that you can make with your kids during this halloween season. Because of knives being sharp, I would probably have the adults or older kids do the first step of cutting the apples,…

When I was younger, we used to take short road trips to various parks in the summer to enjoy the fresh air and to spend some time in the sun, and my mom used to make lunch for us to eat and one of the things I remember her making was cucumber salads. I used…
