#144: Petal Blizzard Layered Salad (Pokemon Sleep)
I was trying to think of different recipes to do for this round of AniMAY and we haven’t really been playing many games recently that have a ton of food to choose from, but I’ve been playing this mobile game called Pokemon Sleep, that has been a fun way to wind down the day feeding…

#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…

#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…

#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…

#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…

#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…
