Travel: Fancy Cappuccino Art (Osaka, Japan)
Here is a fancy little cappuccino with a bear's face! My brother ordered it at a famous department store in Osaka, Japan. It was expensive but well worth the art and of course, it tasted great!
This is a classic comfort food. Kids usually love it. I used round steak but you can also use ground beef or turkey, or just leave the meat out entirely. it is just as good!

This is an inexpensive hearty meal that is very filling! It is one of my own concoctions. I invented it while continuing to use up food I have stored at home.

Quick, delicious cake-like cookies. Makes around 6 dozen.
Pork loin roast smothered with a sweet pineapple, apple and Marsala glaze. This recipe is easy to follow, easy to prepare and has an amazing taste.
