These wraps? Delicious and it does taste like enchiladas except it’s cold and there’s no sauce over the wraps. But these wraps were delicious with creamy cream cheese and other yummy fillings inside the wraps.

There are several Japanese dishes I just love – Kare (pronounced as “ka-ray”) is one of them. Japanese curry has a unique flavor that is different from other curries from other countries. I have made it for many guests before and it’s always been a hit!

Chicken marsala is one of my very favorite dishes ever. I like the unique taste of marsala wine (although I don’t drink myself – only judging from the taste from the cooked wine). Marsala sauce with mushrooms is so wonderful and rich in flavors.

So I’ve been having so much fun lately with making my own salad dressings at home. I’ve been trying to eat more greens in my diet – and I love being able to use fresh ingredients in my own salad dressings. This dressing I had the other night was fantastic with a great roasted jalapeno [...]

I have tried empanadas many times before but this was by far my favorite. It was creamy, cheesy, and flavorful from all the great ingredients. The dough had a softer texture which I loved, with a hint of cinnamon. The whole house smelled like heaven for a few hours from baking these delicious empanadas.

Alright, guys, get your crockpot out because I have an amazing crockpot recipe for you. I love using my slow cooker when I am busy or when I feel a little lazy.
