Ever since my taste buds discovered Japanese sashimi, I like certain fishes more when they are raw than cooked. I appreciate the seafood’s taste when it is at its freshest. Therefore, I also became comfortable eating our local Kinilaw and the famous ceviche of Latin America. These are raw seafood dishes prepared with vinegar or
The family totally liked the Banana Muffins I made last time so with the remaining bananas that I left in freezer, I made banana bread through another unique way.

After my mom knew that chamomile tea is good for sleep and weight loss, she ordered plenty of these dried flowers online so she can have her chamomile tea at night. Of course, I have to choose what’s available in the pantry so I have chamomile tea at times as well. I actually tried different
