Garlic. Good for the heart. Butter. Yummy for the tummy. (Ehrm.) Olive oil, healthy. out-guilts butter's bad cholesthingies. Crispy-topped toast. Lightly roasted cherry tomatoes. Uhm, ah, uhm. Super-garlic-frolic-lickin-espially-docious good eats. The 2nd attempt, big on flavor and perfect crispy texture-- the little ones, blooming ones and young once-more can take just the right bite. None of that gnawing, why-cant-my-teeth-bite-thru struggles (whew).   1/4 butter melted 1/4 cup olive oil 1 head garlic minced Herbs- parsley, basil, rosemary, etc. (optional) Sweat in a shallow pan to bring the juice out & cook the garlic slightly (not browned, it will be roasted enough with the bread later on). 1/4 butter softened 2 singles cheese grated A dollop of heavy cream (or natural yoghurt for a healthier option). A little salt (adjust if cheese is salty already) Mix all in a bowl. Easily slather that spread on the bread! The more, the better. :-p Warm up the stove.  Bring in the griddl

No oven, no steamer, no problem! All you need is hunger and LOVE to find a way 😜.  ...well, also a not-so-shallow non-stick frying pan . With staple ingredients, you're set for this comfort food! My teen-to-be Chef  M  tried this stove-top method, 🙆"So smart", she'd quip. Yup, it was easy as 123! Tools- Non-stick pan (not deep) Clean kitchen towel (to wrap the pot lid) Mixing bowl Whisk Measuring cup & spoons Strainer Ingredients- All purpose flour Sugar Salt 1/2 cup cold butter (a tad softened, like 5 mins out in room temp. ~113g) 3 eggs Milk Vanilla Tip(s): * Making a smaller portion, you need to reduce to a smaller ratio of every ingredient. ALSO, reduce the cooking time! (e.g. half portion in 45mins-ish) 💡 Inspired by: Kusina Chef

Stove-top Lasagna (no bake style) Lasa.gna - in my very own urban  dictionary... that puns to " Ang lasa nya ! " in Filipino ("its taste!"). An incredulous retort blurts out unhindered, befits this remarkable Italian dish. Dig in layer after layer after layer of flavors.  Buon appetito! 😘👌 Tips:  for pre-cooked pasta * Save cooking pasta for last. Once its cooked and not too hot to handle, assemble the dish immediately. * Olive oil in boiling water for lasagna pasta to avoid the sheets sticking together. 💡 Inspired by: Simpol! https://youtu.be/0QSpl48QOhQ?si=oszoYHN7nQdMHAkJ
