There are some evenings we return home late. Whether is because of a Basketball game or Taekwondo. Some days I need a quick meal to serve my crew. I’m not big on fast food, so I try my best to prepare something hearty and tasty at home.
Who doesn’t love a good soup. I fancied up the soup by serving the soup in a bread bowl.

A new collaboration means a new recipe. Marukan Vinegar is “rice vinegar that plays an important role by adding bright, tangy notes, adding flavor to any dish, enhancing flavors of other ingredients as well as balancing sweet, salty, fatty and acidic components of a recipe”. Oxtails is a dish we grew up eating. It’s still one of the most requested dishes in our house with my family. Oxtails can be fatty, so I decided to marinate the oxtails in the Marukan Vinegar that has no sodium or sugar. As well as marinate veggies to top the dish with.

The McRib sandwich from MCDonalds was a popular sandwich when I was a teenager. For those who may not remember this sandwich was a bbq rib sandwich with pickles and onions. People would go crazy for this sandwich. It could be because it was only for a Limited Time offer. The sandwich is available each year in November. Every time this sandwich is available people go crazy. I made my own version of the McRib Sandwich. My sandwich is a Twice Pork Rib Sandwich. I used pork Ribs and Bacon in my BBQ Sauce.These Ribs were baked in the oven. I slow-cooked the ribs in the oven.

It’s been cold and rainy here in Houston. Saturdays are my day of rest. It’s my day that I intentionally take moments to be still and stop from all of the busyness. It’s something that I’ve done for years and really centers me as we enter a new week. It’s also my day to catch up on my TV shows and watch movies I haven’t watched yet. I hope that your Saturday is comforting, calm and rewarding.
I love comfort food. This Lasagna soup was comforting, warm and cheesy. I made my first Lasagna soup over a year ago. This soup has since gone viral and there are so many recipes all over the internet.
