Swedish Meatballs with Yogurt-Cheese Sauce »

What I love about this dish is that you can make the meatballs in bulk and store them in the freezer and just take out some when you need it. The sauce or gravy is super simple and easy to make, no prep needed except for the cheese, but you can just directly grate that [...]

Beef Paprikash »

I seldom use my really cute (small) slow-cooker and I want to pinch myself ( but I didn’t, cause I love me! ahahaha!) for not taking advantage of this wonderful kitchen appliance.

Ted Allen’s Killer Chilli Recipe »

I saw this recipe from an old issue (December 2005) of Good HouseKeeping magazine. It’s worth trying, and as (I) expected, the chilli turned out delicious, and really hot!

Verde; it’s quite simple [...]

Ever since I was little, we always have rice for breakfast to start our day. Sometimes it’s champorado or rice porridge but most of the time its rice, egg and meat or dried fish with chocolate drink and sometimes coffee (yes, I started drinking coffee at a very young age, about 8 I think, that [...]
