Saturday Hunger

There is nothing like weekend hunger to get you to be creative with what you find in the pantry, fridge, and freezer 😂😂 A call for Turkey & Chicken 😋😋

This first one is two turkey Burgers and some, well they started out as Sunnyside up eggs and ended up becoming scrambled. The difficulty of being creative 🙈🙈 They came out pretty delicious. Yes, that beautiful glow is from our best friend, tumeric 🎉🎉 I ran out of extra virgin olive oil and used canola oil. It's not my favorite of oils, but it got the job done. WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!: PRACTICE with your use of ANY Adobo seasoning. It is very strong, do be very careful how much you use. Eggs do not absorb salt flavors very well, still practice though.

This one was probably the hardest because I was trying to create a flavor from memory using flavors I found within the house. What's missing in the image is some honey (I used it as well). Everything was pretty much to taste and creativity stylings except the Matouk's (bottle with the white top). It is QUITE spicy making one teaspoon of it enough to taste it's flavor. Practice with your flavor balance though. My flavors I wanted to go for were: spicy, but not too spicy, sweet, but not too sweet, a little bit of saltiness for flavor (soy sauce), and some actual salt to bring out the sweetness (many people forget the power of salt and sugar combined) and the sweet n' sour was to add a bit more flavor, but not too sour either.

Want food perfection on your perfection level? Practice! Practice! Practice! Practice makes PERMANENT! Maybe that "permanent" can one day become perfect permanence 🙌🙌 High Hopes to you all brave enough to get creative in the kitchen!

12 or 11 days (Depending on the Timezone)...

As the year comes to an end, I started thinking about all that I have done this year, my experiences, my expectations for next year, and much more. Thoughts of my new years resolution, my steps to my career, and the friendships I have made and left behind are like headlights shining in my eyes. In all honesty, I do not even remember what my New Years' resolution was for 2019. I guess that is something I will have to do for resolution 2020; write it down. I have a vison board for 2019, but only achieved about 1/3 of the entire board...which is not exactly the goal for the year. This year has honestly been a huge eye-opener for me especially in regards to relationships and the true character of people I felt I had known my entire life. From the excitement of births, to the hardships of deaths, to the happiness of marriages, 2019 has given me a new perspective on friendships especially. You never want to miss those special once-in-a-lifetime moment with those you consider true friends and almost family which makes it all the more wonderful getting to experience incredible and life-changing events with them. With the overwhelm of education and unfortunate occurrences of intense sadness, I thought the year would end on quite a low note. However, despite everything that tried to bring me down, one thing after another kept bringing the light back into my life, giving me hope for the morning to come. My 2019 was forming, reconnecting, introducing, and releasing. I do not know what is instore for 2020, but I do know this:
 (Loving my daily dose of 'I got this' from Shine) "You don't have to bring everything with you into 2020. Today, reflect on the things that didn't serve you this past year. Whether it's a habit, mindset, or story you tell yourself, see what happens if you commit to letting it go."
I hope in 2020, you find what you are looking for and have those moments that tell you "everything is going to be okay." Just hold on and wait for those precious moments. You never know what goodness can be brought out from it.
