What’s cooking
Instant pot still is my best friend. I seriously rarely use my stove. Instant pot is my number one. Then air fryer and my electric wok. Before I move on to what’s cooking these days, I need to praise Instant pot and Cuisinart for their service. I had an error with Instant pot before that…
Cloudy and rainy day in a pot
It starts getting cooler here today, it is cloudy, a little rain here and there. Looks gloomy outside, the color just reminding me of a bowl of mushroom risotto. So I decided to make them. My boys are still sleeping, but worry not, instant pot will keep it warm for them. If you are too…
Spanish rice and chicken stewÂ
I wasn’t sure what to call it. I just whipped dinner in 30 minutes, 10 minutes prepping, 30 minutes thinking about what to cook the whole way home from work. That’s pretty much my routine. I can’t follow meal plan, I am more of oh I have this and that let’s make this 😂😂. Even…
Instant love

Another budget dinner
I try to work on a budget for our meal. I like to challenge myself to bring food to the table that if possible less than $10 that is not just pasta and mac and cheese or ramen noodle. If we can have dinner for 3, which actually 5 with our big appetite family, that…
Instant Brisket
Over the weekend, I grabbed a big giant pack of brisket that was on sale for $18 and I know I can cut them up into 4 or 5 big pieces. Meaning 5 different meals. I have been shopping at Aldi, Sprouts, and Wal-Mart. Every time I go to Aldi, I always got a full…
Chicken salsa VerdeÂ
Well, I guess I keep everything on my Facebook album for all the stuffs I cook. I was looking for how I made this chicken salsa Verde and could not find it here. It is my son’s favorite. I usually serve them with cilantro lime rice. He does not really like rice plain, but this…
