Chicken Salad Sandwiches
Chicken Salad Sandwiches are great if you want a quick, delicious lunch. Everyone has their own version and of course, mine has just a little hint of spice. I used to make these all the time growing up and the recipe has stuck with me ever since. Probably because it’s so quick and…
Keema Fettuccine

Seared Shrimp Rice Bowl
A rice bowl is a great way to use up any leftovers you may have or any pantry goods like canned food or frozen vegetables. I think sometimes people automatically assume something made with canned food or frozen food isn’t going to taste very good. But I don’t think that’s true! You can…
