🖤🍗 If a reheated dish does not whet your appetite, then try YMCA. Yesterday's meal cooked again. 😉 Re-inventieeen!  🧑‍🔬 Such as this one... an easy weeknight recipe revamps that other night's pasta and chicken in the fridge. The Sauce that Binds It All - Black Pepper Sauce!!! 🖤🎗️🖤 Prep the roux- On medium heat, saute these- - knob of butter - 2 tbsp ground black pepper - 1/3 chicken cube - add 🍄 mushroom sliced , garlic 🧄 minced, or diced 🧅 onion (optional)* - add herbs (optional)* Add thickener- - 2 tbsp plain flour. Saute for 2-3 minutes. Add liquid according to desired consistency.  More if you're going for a bit runny sauce, less if you want it more gravy-like. - water - chicken stock (if no chicken cubes) Ready to serve, slather it on the warmed pasta & re-toasted chicken. Dig in and enjoy. It's like the entire thing was newly cooked.    FRESH . Inspired by: 💡 spice and pans

This was literally the key dish that threw the gates wide open ⛩️ and tingled my palate, excited for the smorgasbord this Lion City had to offer.   Still a few weeks in Singapore, it was at a wedding reception of my husband's teammate. I recall vividly its taste. And my reaction, Oh my, oh la la. 🎇🎆🎇. Psychedelic. And so, I fell in love with the rich makan culture of Singapura. 🩷 .LAKSA. 🧡 Creamy coconut sauce. Yummy yellow orange tinge, that my eyes could feast on. Spicy chilis. Noodles satin soft. And the bitey shrimp just right. Smells heavenly. Whether here for just a few hours, or expecting a long stay, you simply cannot leave this city state without having a taste of this glorious LAKSA. "Shiok" is how the locals say when the taste of something is so on point! #foodAdventure > SG

🇲🇽 hola!  I was inspired by my cousin's dinner post ;-) ... a Mexican egg breakfast dish by my cig (cousin-in-grace). Looks like chimichanga? not quite. Nachos? But not really.  Meet Chilaquiles.   A breakfast dish in Mexico  (🔉 chee-La-kee-les). Eggs, tortilla chips, Chili sauce. Chilaquiles, where've u been all my life?   Since I don't have tomatillos and jalapeno, I opted for the Rosso red version...  Improvised with tomato paste, tomato sauce, red chili flakes, & singles cheese.  Added cabbage shreds & cucumber bits for a heartier meal for my hungry tribe. I can imagine the authentic version will zoom me out of this world and then  drop me straight in vibrant Mexico.  But, until that Cancun trip...   ¡Tú puedes!   it's fun to make things work with what's on hand.   Getting creative in the kitchen is, what's the word for it?  revitalizing!  Uplifting! 🔋🎈 Tip for next version: - Poached e...
