The daffodil is a member of the genus Narcissus. They are beautiful to behold and I certainly look forward to seeing them every spring.
Pictured here is one with outer white leaves, and a central orange corona. Does this remind you of a sunny side up egg?

I live in South Texas (San Antonio), and here tamales are a Christmas tradition. I have always thought of them as Mexican. Although they are available year round in restaurants and grocery stores, I usually dined on them at Christmas. Tamales made easy…the ones I bought were from the grocery store. 🙂
Whereas my annual Christmas dinner included store bought tamales, it’s a totally different situation for Hispanic families. For many Hispanic families, they gather together on Christmas Eve to make them. Over the years this gathering turned into a big social event called a tamalada. There’s a great article from NPR called “Tamales For Texas Are a True Texas Tradition” which I urge you to read for great background information.

There is a restaurant in San Antonio where I live called Kim’s Galbi, aka the Lighthouse Restaurant. 🙂
I love visiting this restaurant with my mother. We often went for lunch, and were always treated to the MOST DELICIOUS banchan. Banchan are the side dishes that are served to accompany Korean meals.

On movie nights, I cook a meal to accompany the film we are going to watch. The meal I choose is somehow inspired by the film. The inspiration could be something actually eaten in the film, or the setting.
We watched the 1939 classic French film called “The Rules of the Game” on a recent movie night. Jean Renoir directed this film, and it is considered by many authorities on motion pictures to be one of the greatest films in cinema history.

Recently we watched Cleopatra, the 1963 film starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. This was a lavish film, and I have to say that Elizabeth Taylor was the most amazing Cleopatra!

I had heard about The Pantry Challenge a few months ago from a friend on Instagram. The Pantry Challenge is a time where you focus on using up what you have before buying any more food. The benefits are you will save time by not having to go out shopping, save money by not overbuying food, and be a better steward of the resources that you have! Every one of those benefits are definitely worth it!

Are you stuck at home and not sure what to cook for dinner tonight? Then pantry cooking it is! Pantry cooking is cooking meals from items that are in your pantry. I have seen some very extremely creative dishes that others are coming up with. It’s a true joy to see people doing the best with what they have on hand.
Are you in need of a delicious dish that is super easy, quick, budget friendly, and uses items you most likely have in your pantry? Then please consider this Super Easy Tuna Noodle Casserole.
Super Easy Tuna Noodle Casserole is the ULTIMATE pantry dish. All you will need is egg noodles or other pasta, and these canned foods: tuna, cream of mushroom soup, and peas. You will also need some oil to grease your pan, and some seasonings. This is the most basic version, however, if you have some CHEESE (yum!) then by all means add that in as well!
Please note that I am including links to Amazon for some of the ingredients in this dish. The links may be a substitution for the ingredients you see pictured in my post, if I could not find the same ingredient on Amazon. The links are simply included for convenience if you choose to order on Amazon.
I call this Super Easy because all you need to do is grease a 9x13 oven safe dish, mix tuna, drained peas, the cream of mushroom soup, and cheese (if using) and place it in your dish! I used Pam cooking spray to grease my dish. You could also use a little vegetable or olive oil. Add cooked egg noodles, give it a stir and season with some salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Then place in an oven that has been preheated to 375F for 25 – 30 minutes.
You can use tuna packed in water, however, I think tuna in oil adds a depth of flavor that can’t be beat! If you use tuna in water, please drain the water. Otherwise when you add the tuna in oil add everything to the mix!
If you happen to have some Panko in your pantry, I recommend you use it to put the finishing touch on this Super Easy Tuna Casserole!
All you need to do is add a little olive oil and some of your favorite seasoning to the Panko, and stir. I used Goya Sazonador Total. Then, after the casserole has been baking for 25 minutes, remove from the oven. Add the panko mixture spreading it evenly over the top, and bake for another 5 minutes.
After 25-30 minutes in the oven, remove and behold how beautifully browned the top is, and get ready to DIG IN!
This recipe is enough for around 4-6 people, and costs about $9.00 to make (with the brands that I used). So as mentioned it is budget friendly, super easy, and you’ll just have to trust me on this until you can verify for yourself…utterly creamy and delicious! It’s great to garnish with green onions if you have them!
I hope you will enjoy this Super Easy Tuna Noodle Casserole soon! Oh and by the way…it is the PERFECT COMFORT FOOD AS WELL.

If you haven’t ever made your own pesto, trust me…you should. It is so very easy and the taste is out of this world!
Pesto is traditionally a mixture of crushed basil leaves, olive oil, salt, garlic, pine nuts, and parmesan. It originated in Genoa, Italy and is typically served with pasta. Today, there are many variations on pesto.
I had only ever made pesto with basil before. However, the other evening I found a bunch of Italian parsley in the fridge, and spied some leftover pine nuts in the pantry. The decision was made to give parsley pesto a go, and I’m so happy that I did!
I looove things spicy! This parsley pesto includes some chilis, which give it a great kick! However if you aren’t too fond of spicy foods, leave the chilis out and it’ll still be absolutely delicious.
You can use pesto in so many ways: as a dip, as an accompaniment to meat, as a spread for crackers, and whatever else you can come up with! I decided to mix this pesto in with some linguine, and that night there were NO leftovers. 🙂
You can also substitute other types of pasta for the linguine! I also made this pesto with penne. Whatever pasta you choose, it’s guaranteed to please!
I hope you will enjoy this budget friendly, easy to prepare, and absolutely delicious Linguine with Delicious Parsley Pesto soon.
