Hey all, I hope this short post finds you all doing well.
Life has been really throwing me some hard and fast balls this year which has prevented me from posting like I want to. But, I hope to get back in to the swing of things soon.
In the mean time, my daughters and I have been out trying a few new restaurants. We checked out 2 ramen spots, 1 Korean Chicken and 1 Korean Bbq restaurants.
The quick video below shows you where we went and what we thought.

Christmas 2023 was a bit different this year. It was my youngest daughter and myself for most of the day. While she relaxed, with the occasional assist, I stayed in the kitchen and prepared Christmas dinner. My oldest daughter was away visiting her boyfriend’s family, and my partner had to works. So the festivities this year would not begin until after 8:30 p.m.
I spent the day doing what I loved, cooking. I took my time chopping, slicing and dicing until my heart was content… or my arms got tired and my back began to hurt.
Nevertheless, all this was different because, usually the kids would be up and ready to open gifts; everyone would be home; Christmas breakfast would have been ready to been had. But all things change, nothing stays the same,
This year, I decided to make Gloriousgal’s Ratatouille, which consisted of carrots, zucchini, yellow squash, and king oyster mushrooms, bacon rapped carrots, veggie stuffing, roasted potatoes, candy sweet potatoes, and 2 apple and peach pie.
If you want to see bow I make Christmas dinner for my family and how we enjoyed our late Christmas, checkout the video posted at the top or below here.
Thanks for hanging out with my family and me.

If you have been following me for some time, you know that one of my favorite foods is noodles. Noodles of any and all kinds; I am not picky. However, there is nothing like combining noods with a yummy broth. In this quick May Vlog, I speed through how I make my lamb ramen, which is great when you are feeling under the weather like I was.

I was excited to host my mom this summer for almost 2 months. It had been 4 years since we had seen each other in person because of the pandemic. My mom and I live far from one another, but over the past 10-plus years, I was used to her coming out to my house every summer for a month or more. But because of circumstances that we could not control, that was on hold.
Whenever my mom comes, I always like to spoil her, especially when it comes to food. Watch as I cook nostalgic food for my mom and we hang out and reminisce in the kitchen.

I really love cooking; the chopping and slicing are therapeutic, the aromas are intoxicating, and the methods are sometimes routine but comforting. However, I love my appliances that tend to make my life and the cooking process more manageable.
I recently purchased an Instant Gourmet Dutch Oven. This is the third Instant product I have purchased, and I absolutely love them all. I have been meaning to buy a traditional Cast-Iron Dutch Oven for many years, as this was a staple pot in my mom’s kitchen. Although the one I purchased looks nothing like the one my mom used, It is heavy and cooks very well with the electric heating element base or alone on the stove or in the oven.
My first use was to braise Pig Feet, it did so well, I have since used it to make cabbage and soup. If you would like to see my Unboxing, How I cooked my Pig Feet, and how they turned out, Check out the video below. Until Next time remember to: Cook, Eat, Enjoy, Travel, Live, and Repeat.

Earlier this month, my family and I attended The Grotto’s Festival of Lights. The Grotto is located at 8840 NE Skidmore Street in Portland Oregon and is an outdoor Catholic Shrine and Sanctuary. I had always wanted to come and visit here, and this was my opportunity, especially since my oldest daughter also had her Conducting Debut at this event. This was definitely a proud mom moment.

Hey guys, I hope you are all well. I am running a bit behind on my posts because life has been extremely busy. But I wanted to ensure I got my last two uploads on YouTube posted here. So here is how it went in March; 36 hours in Spokane, Washington Part 1 and 2.
It was extremely cold, but I got to eat some really good food and see the Spokane Waterfalls, which was top on my list of things to see. When I go back again, I will try to go when it is warmer weather so that I can fully enjoy all that Spokane has to offer.

Hey guys, I pray you are all well and safe. With prices on the rise for everything, I am trying to stretch my meals as much as possible. In this Cooking vlog, I make Stuffed Cabbage Rolls for the first time and Beef Cheeks and Veggie Soup.
Cabbage Rolls
I grew up eating stuffed peppers; my mom made them, and they were always so delicious. We also ate a lot of cabbage, but never cabbage rolls. I’ve seen several recipes and videos of people making and enjoying stuffed cabbage rolls and it seemed like a recipe that could last for several meals and that it would be easy to make. However, of course, I had to make the recipe my own and make a few adaptations for the things that we do not consume like tomatoes. So have a look at the video below to see how I made my Cabbage rolls.
Beef Cheeks
With food prices being so high in the United States, it’s hard to stay within a budget for food, especially when one is trying to feed a college student and a teenager; my kids have extremely healthy appetites. I must be very intentional about what I buy, but still make sure that when I cook, it tastes good. The advantage that I have is that growing up, we didn’t have a lot of money. My mother made a little something into a lot and made it taste good. Back when I was younger, all the odd cuts of meat were extremely inexpensive, like neck bones, organ meat, cheeks, feet, and such. But now, people have gotten hip to the fact that these inexpensive/trash pieces are some good eating.
I grew up eating chicken hearts, pig feet, hog jowls, and the likes but never had any beef cheeks. It was a nice cut of meat and not too expensive, so I decided to pick up a pack and try it. It looked like a roast with a bit more fat on it, so what better way to cook such a cut than to make it into a soup or stew. Check out the video below to see the process.

Hey Food Tribe, I am so late in posting this, but better late than never. Back in mid-November, my youngest daughter Amarie turned 14.

And because of how the world is currently, we celebrated indoors with a special dinner. Last year she asked for a Japanese-inspired dinner, this year, she requested a Korean-inspired dinner. I obliged her, as I love all Asian food, but Korean food is at my top.
Spam rice ball, friend rice, kimbap
I made a spread for my baby girl including Royal Tteokbokki, pork and beef lettuce/perilla wrap, pork neck bone and mussel soup, and more.
