As I watched Netflix’s Somebody Feed Phil, another easy-to-make dish uncovered. A tasty trip of Phil in Vietnam, as shown in the Saigon episode, brought me to the discovery of Clam and Spinach Soup.

Today, we have a leftover Mac N’ Cheese from last week’s Three Cheese Mac N’ Cheese Pizza and I’m planning to top it on fries. I thought of Canadian Poutine so I would like to add some gravy, too, but instead of cheese curds, we put the Mac N’ Cheese for that cheesy craze. It’s
Before the strawberry season comes to an end, I would like to use my leftover strawberries to make a different strawberry dessert this time.
