In this recipe, I was trying to replicate the Peruvian dish lomo saltado, but I forgot to buy french fries. Despite the lack of potato, the dish turned out great: savory and flavorful. Ingredients 1 pound beef cut into strips or chunks 1 small onion cut into strips 1 yellow chili pepper (aji amarillo) 1/2 […]

Quick and Easy Lasagna
Premade pasta sauce save a lot of time in the preparation of this lasagna. The total prep time is about 20 minutes, and it takes 45 minutes to bake.

Cajun Chicken Stir Fry
Packed full of vegetables and a spicy kick, this recipe hits the spot and leaves your mouth tingling. If you have a heat sensitivity, you can add sour cream and/or lighten up on the cayenne pepper.

Grilled Cheese with Cranberry, Chicken, ...
Crunchy, creamy, savory, and sweet, this sandwich has it all. When I want to be really bad, I add more cheese, but there is enough cheese in the recipe to keep the sandwich stuck together. Sometime I use a sandwich maker to make a delicious “hot pocket”, and sometimes I simply use a skillet or griddle. The […]
Albondigas – Mexican Meatball Soup
This is a very simple soup to make with lots of flavor and a medium amount of heat due to the green chiles. If you prefer a milder version, substitute with regular diced tomatoes. Conversely, if you prefer a hotter version, add a diced jalapeno. Also, this is a gluten-free recipe because the meatballs do […]
Pineapple Strawberry Italian-Style Soda
This refreshing Italian soda is like a light milkshake. The amount of each ingredient depends on the size of the glass and if you use ice. If you use cream, I recommend drinking with a straw because the cream will separate if you are a slow drinker. Ingredients: ½ c 100% Pineapple juice 1-2 T […]
Easy Homemade Iced Caramel Macchiato
Sometimes you just have to treat yourself. I usually don’t go for the super-sweet coffee drinks because coffee houses make them so sweet, it hurts my teeth. Making liquid treats at home is the best option because I can add as much or as little sweetness as I prefer. My morning cup of coffee is usually […]

That sandwich was one of the best sandwiches I have ever eaten: a thick layer of slow roasted beef between two pieces of fresh baked wheat bread with crisp lettuce, onion, and tomato. I enjoyed that sandwich so much […]
