Happy mid-week, everyone! I know some of you might be a little busy for Halloween night (although, it’ll look different than before), but I want to reshare this classic family dinner. Not that it looks as creepy cute as those spider cupcakes or mummy muffins, but it sure will get a thumbs up from everyone, especially the little ones. Just one look at this baked meatloaf and everyone will be gathering around the table in seconds....
It’s is a super budget-friendly dinner too, with bags of delicious Chinese flavour and a lighter option than a takeaway. Yuk Sung is one of my midweek go-to recipes because it’s not only quick and easy, it’s SUCH good value too. Pork mince is a meat that is very reasonably priced, but often people don’t buy it because they don’t know what to do with it. You know I love to fill the gap that is wondering ‘what’s for dinner’, which is why I am on a mission to share as many pork recipes as I can so we can make the most of this versatile, budget-friendly mince option....
With fish set on the grill, a hearty bowl of pasta on the stove and a fresh bountiful salad for the side dish is our idea of a perfect dinner at home. Husband is responsible for the selection of wines to accompany the meal and of course the background score. The aroma of the grilling fish engulfed the air surrounding the dining area. To many Pasta and Fish, may not sound a delicious combination especially for a romantic dinner date....

While I’m no pastry chef, and this pie crust has a rustic appearance, I can honestly promise you the best results in terms of texture and taste with this easy recipe....
One thing I’ve noticed about American cooks, is that most of us stick to traditional recipes for Thanksgiving. Yet Christmas seems to be fair game! Our Thanksgiving meal is opulent and loaded with classics. Yet by late December, we’ve already had our fill of turkey, baked ham, green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin pie. We want to make a lavish holiday meal for our family and friends, but we’re open to new possibilities....
Ok, here I go again another pepper soup, but this time it is made with goat. Yes, goat meat– Grilled, stewed, sauté, I love it –am a lady and a carnivore and not afraid to admit.

Greek Salad There’s nothing quite like a big chunky salad to round out a summer meal. We all want to eat a little lighter in the summer months. Crisp cool salads really hit the spot served with grilled chicken, pork chops, or steak. However, this traditional Greek Horiatiki Salad is so hearty and satisfying you can pair it with a main-dish protein, or serve it on its own. Secretly, I have been known to stand in front of the fridge and eat it out of the serving bowl with a fork....

If I were to choose between fries and hush puppies, I’d never give fries a second look. I’m all for the hush puppies, baby! I could still remember the first time I tasted hush puppies. There was an instant connection. Perhaps it was because cornmeal is a staple in West Africa, and I grew up eating it like this Corn Fritters here. And when I learned how simply easy it is, it became a go-to party appetizer, and it is always a 100% massive hit....

Think about it… Melted ice cream is essentially milk or cream, sugar, eggs, a little salt, vanilla extract, and possible add-ins....

Because although it is delicious, the name is a little confusing… Ram Don is not a traditional Asian recipe, but is actually a dish that became popularized by the 2019 Korean thriller Parasite. The name “Ram-Don” comes from the use of two popular instant noodles, ramen and udon noodles....

This Modern Creamy Lemon Posset is far removed from the 18th Century Posset Shakespeare writes of in Macbeth. The ancient Posset of the Middle Ages was a warming drink made with milk, wine, honey, and spices, often used for medicinal purposes.
