Whenever I buy fresh in season veggies I cut them up and freeze them. Especially when the vegetables go on sale, I buy them in bulk, but just enough to make sure I have room to store them. In this recipe I added about 2 cups butternut squash. I steamed the squash and blend it…

I know if the recipe is “thumbs up” because my husband is a picky eater. He loves this dish, he even took the leftover to work the next day and that doesn’t happen very often. I used brown rice but you can certainly use white rice or quinoa. I also used my homemade taco seasoning…

It’s still Spring and the weather where I’m at is not quite as nice yet. It’s gloomy and rainy today. And a hot and hearty soup would be nice in this kind a weather. I pre-cooked my beef in my Instant Pot. I set it in manual for pressure cooker for about 18 minutes and…

Hi there! I love this noodle dish. My grandma used to cook it for me all the time when I was a little girl, we called it “Pansit” (pronounce as pun-sit). Very easy, simple, but full of flavors. You can use any vegetables you like, but always use onions, celery and carrots because they add…

I decided to go with the fillet to make it simpler and to save time. Orange Roughy is very flavorful. Other white fish that are great…

Pochero is a Filipino version of beef stew. I made it the traditional way with plantain banana and sweet potato. It’s spicy but the sweet potato and banana give the dish a balance flavor. Even though I used tender cut beef I still pre-cooked them in my Instant Pot to save time. LET’S GET COOKING!…

Pozole is a Mexican dish made with hominy, which is processed corn with the germ removed, and traditionally with pork meat. Let’s make my version of Pozole. I used chicken breast instead of pork and garbanzo beans instead of corn. The spices I used are pretty close to the Mexican Pozole. Talking about flavor explosion…
