Kung Pao Shrimp. 3/10/26

We watched Jet Tila make this recipe on Food Network. The most important step to remember is, have your mise en place ready before you start cooking anything. The whole cook time is about 10 minutes. A couple of things … Continue reading

Crispy fish fillet sandwiches and a salad. 3/7/26
