However, sardines can be made a lot tastier by adding flavor to it or following recipes on the internet. Sardines are also very...

Sweets are our happy pills as we strive to keep up our sanity till this whole coronavirus crisis is over. In this recipe, I tried to keep it simple and cheap as possible.

Coffee and tea are my go-to drinks lately, and because of that, I’m usually craving for cookies to munch before my drinks. One of my favorite cookie types is lengua de gato but I don’t know how to make them (maybe next time I’ll try to find a recipe for one) so I thought to make lace cookies instead.

What is quinoa? Pronounced as “keen-wah”, quinoa is a type of crop in which seeds are edible just like rice. Because I’m a rice lover, as well as my whole family, and time and time again we have to remember that white rice contains lots of sugar, I had to find alternatives to rice that I can incorporate in our daily menu.
