It's been 2 months since I updated this blog. Yes, I've been traveling - a lot. Since the 15th of December 2018, my husband and I have traveled to 8 different cities/towns in 4 countries in 3 continents. We had such a wonderful time in each of these places. Here's a quick snapshot of where [...]
A Taste of Home in Geneva: Tinolang Manok (Chicken in Ginger Soup)
Let's face it, it's that time of the year when we are out almost every night for dinners and Christmas celebrations. Before that big Christmas day celebration, I often find myself wanting to just have a night of comfort, homecooked meal as a break from the festive meals. Plus It's been raining for days now [...]

Homecooking in Geneva: Leftover Stuffed Peppers
So, we had our challenge to clean our fridge and minimize throwing anything that is still edible last week. What’s amazing with this challenge is that out of our usual 500-600 Swiss francs weekly food budget (welcome to Geneva!), we only spent 197 Swiss francs for the whole week and that was from a 3-course [...]
