Here's my take on a classic brownie recipe made special with Cointreau.

Watching tons of kdramas can really make you crave and enjoy Korean dishes and my home is not an exemption. And I love replicating dishes so here's my version of pajeon.

This is so very easy to make and great as snack.

RECIPE: TKG's Chicken Medley

Sometimes, I do get creative in the kitchen especially if there are leftovers. In this case, we still have about half fried chicken from Original Savory (we usually order here whenever we wanted a quick fried chicken fix). So I checked the pantry and found some cans of Jolly Whole Mushrooms, Jolly Whole Corn Kernels, and Jolly Cream of Mushroom, and turnip slices in the fridge. Lucky!

RECIPE: TKG's Chicken Sibut

Chicken Sibut is a chicken dish cooked in spices for a long period of time until the meat absorbs the flavor and becomes so tender that it falls off the bone.
