#158: Japanese Ginger Carrot Salad & Miso Soup
When I was thinking about appetizers I wanted to make for this last recipe this go around, I wanted to try to make something that was a bit more of an appetizer for a meal rather than it being an hors d’oeuvre to snack on like our previous recipes this month. And so, after ordering…

#156: Calamari
Calamari is one of my favorite things to eat when I get fried seafood. The crunchy exterior with a chewy, but tender center in a ring shape is just the best when made properly. But often when I order this appetizer at a restaurant, it’s usually lacking in some department. So, I typically pass over…

When thinking of what appetizers I wanted to make this go around, I wanted to focus on appetizers that were quick to make, but I still wanted the recipe to be something that will impress your party guests more than just cheese and crackers. So, for our first recipe this month, I thought it would…

Traditionally made for Easter (as well as other holidays), baklava is a sweet,…

#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…

#127: London Broil Steak w/ Roasted Vegetables
Whenever I plan my meals for the week, I always try to find a new type of food to try out. That way, I have plenty of options to choose from and don’t get bored of a certain food while still having healthy, and most importantly delicious, recipes to choose from. I’m always looking online…

#126: Spicy Thai Dried Squid
After making our jerky recipe last September, I’ve been wanting to make another dried meat recipe and with these being a great way to get some protein in between meals, I thought that this would be the perfect time to do so! And with us using squid this time, I thought it warranted another recipe…
