We all know that ribs are perfect for barbecues and family gatherings. They are easy to prepare, inexpensive, and can feed a crowd of hungry people in no time. But if you want to make them for dinner without having to spend hours standing around the grill cooking them, then you will need an air…
Pizza rolls, or pizza, in general, are some sort of good omen. I see them during successful meetings, at celebrations, or even when one simply needs to wind down, with a pizza roll in hand. I’m storing these for my own accessible stash of pick-me-up snacks, ready to pop a couple of frozen pizza rolls…
Everyone loves peanut butter. From the velvety texture to the delicious taste, peanut butter can be enjoyed in several ways. If you have ever purchased a box of peanut butter, you would know that it comes in two different variations: creamy and crunchy. Although peanut butter is a delicacy most enjoyed on a traditional peanut…

I’ve visited Chicago twice now, and the city still never ceases to amaze me every time. One gem of a discovery is this wonderful Japanese restaurant called Benihana. Our time was grand, with all the chefs preparing our food right in front of us. Teppanyaki is also something that I’ve tried in Japan, and while…

I can’t even remember how many bowls I’ve consumed each time we dined in their restaurant.…
If A Woodchuck Could Chuck Wood…Sorry, I couldn’t help it! I get triggered to do a mental tongue twister whenever I see the word “chuck”. Of course, this post is about a tried and tested oven-baked chuck roast recipe passed on for decades within our family – and has nothing to do with the tongue…
Steak has always been a favorite dish of mine for so, so many reasons. I always associate steak with a holiday, or something wonderful to celebrate. It is quite a straightforward, yet flavorful dish, that is prepared for those special occasions. As a bonus, preparing London broil is not as expensive as your usual steak!…
There are a lot of things referred to as “liquid gold” – honey, argan oil, or even gold in liquid form – literally. For me, well, it’s ranch dressing! 😀 I remember seeing clips of Courtney Cox chugging an entire bottle of ranch, and I’d say, I could relate to her, like really! I use…

The peaches provide Vitamin C, fiber and carotenoids, while the spinach gives the sandwich additional zinc and folate, along with a boost of color. Serve the sandwich with a side salad to turn this into a complete meal. Leftover…
