Another Portuguese classic that momma bear used to make for the family (she still does when I visit) it's spicy, warm, flavourful,healthy.. I could go on and on.. its just plain delish and super easy! Add some spice into your weekday ! ;)

Something easy to make, fast, healthy and delicious for dinner.

This recipe is an adaption of my grandmother's Rice and Bean Dish.

Longanisa, the sweet, sticky, and sometimes spicy staple of Filipino breakfasts, is usually made into links. I made mine as patties, for ease of prep. Either way works.

Something fresh and homemade, rustic love!

Creamy and delicious

I was so happy with this Aldi product, it’s worth the extra trip if it’s not your go to grocery store. You can cook this easy weeknight meal in 30 minutes.

Super fresh and simple dish. Great foundation for grilled chicken or fish!

This is another classic pasta dish. It only uses a few ingredients. That's why I adore Italian cuisine. They use only a few great ingredients and allow them to work their magic. Take pizza for example, it is just dough, sauce and cheese. I think that also apply to pasta. I mean pasta is also just pasta, sauce and cheese.The main ingredient of this dish is guanciale; it is an old-aged-cured pork cheek. It has loads of wonderful fat, herbs and spices. I personally do not consume pork. So, I used turkey bacon, cooked it with some herbs and spices instead. If you are using guanciale, skip the steps for the turkey bacon.The tricky part is to cook the pasta just 1 min under al dente and finish it off with the sauce. Basically, you will be cooking the pasta and sauce at the same time. Please use pecorino romano. You can get away with parmigiano reggiano tho, but I do find that pecorino has that nutty saltiness taste which permeates the dish nicely. Bucatini is traditionally used. But I still prefer linguine as it is underused and underrated. Without much delay, let's get started with the recipe.

This recipe has been sitting in my draft box for a while now, but for some reason I really never got around to making it. Today, it’s very cold and at the moment it’s snowing and I don’t want to make soup, so I decided on this delicious pasta dish which will work just fine. New Year Eve seems to getting closer, and I still haven’t planned out the New Year Eve Menu not really sure what it is I want to make 😦 but one thing I do know for sure is we will be making the classic Greek Cake Vasilopita.During the holidays we tend to make too much food and this means too many leftovers. This year there was wayyy to much leftovers than previous years, the reason as you all know was due to the fact of the passing of our dog Marka, no one really had a appetite for eating big…:( Life must go on and so it will as the New Year approaches.I hope you enjoy this delicious pasta dish not to many ingredients and very quick to make. 🙂

This is another last-minute dish, whipped up after my wife requested pasta to go with the chicken I was in the middle of preparing for dinner. I didn't have anything at hand that could obviously go into a pasta, such as sausage or herbs, and only had a bottle of passata and a handful of capers in the pantry. So I decided to forgo both altogether and created something new, with a little bit of inspiration from carbonara, and a little bit of inspiration from caccio e pepe. For a simple, spontaneous dish cooked in less than 10 minutes, it turned out really well.
