I posted about this dish several years ago, I recently saw that a chef made it in competition on Guys Grocery Games and have been thinking about it ever since. I have never been to Hawaii but if I ever do, I will seek out this dish once, twice maybe even three times during my stay. It is SO good, it’s the total package of … Continue reading Loco Moco

Luckily his dog and our dog get along quite well and chasing tennis balls is the best game ever. Last week for our #worldwidewednesday family dinner we went … Continue reading Mongolian Beef & Buuz meat filled dumpling
