Ginger Punch

Me- 🙂Boyfriend- 🙂🙂 We love ginger beer and other ginger drinks in this house. This is our go-to ginger beer, especially since Costco sells it by the case. I’ve made this once before and we finished off the batch in no time. This punch is super easy to make and is only 4 ingredients. You…

Orange-Glazed Chicken Wings

Me- 🙂Boyfriend- 🙂🙂 These wings were so good! The glaze on the chicken was very flavorful. I loved the hint of orange from the orange marmalade. The only negative feedback about this dish isn’t for the recipe at all. I deviated and picked up party wings (or wingettes) from Costco instead of deconstructing chicken wings…

Mango, Pineapple and Grape Cocktail

Me-☹️Boyfriend- 😕 I’m trying recipes that I’ve made years ago from a cookbook that I absolutely love. What a stinker of a recipe to start with though. It was way too sweet. Now, I may not be the best judge of fruit recipes since I pretty much have to force myself to eat fruit. Although,…

Thai Iced Tea

Yum! I give this a 🙂 I had been craving a Thai Iced Tea for so long. I used to be just a Thai Iced Coffee gal, since I thought the tea tasted a bit too different for me. But now! I’m obsessed. Originally I wanted a kit. So I purchased these Thai Iced Tea…

Ginger Scallion Noodles

Avocado with Red Radish and Carrot Carpaccio

Me- 🙂Boyfriend- ☹️ I really liked the daikon radish in this dish. This salad is from Italy according to the cookbook. You layer daikon radish, shaved carrot, shaved red radish with avocado slices. You top it with pickled onion and an oil and lemon juice herby sauce. I plan to use this tomorrow to make…

Hummus

Eh. I give this a 😕 I liked this hummus recipe at first. This is the first hummus recipe that I’ve made that includes juice of an orange. I liked the orange since it added a bit of sweetness. But on the second day, the hummus was a bit lacking. The orange flavor kind of…

Bean and Coconut Soup

Yum, Yum, Yum! This was so good. This is a recipe from Tanzania according to my cookbook and I loved it. I’m a beans gal and this is a perfect way to highlight beans with a buttery, coconut-y soup. Along with a piece of buttered bread, I did a little dance eating this. I’m working…
