Chocolate and almond cookie squares
Second attempt at baking and I still haven’t messed up. That makes me feel like a super achiever. LOL Am so, so, so bad at baking that not making a disaster out of something as simple as cookie bars becomes an important achievement indeed. I’m becoming bolder too.

Baked fish and spinach
This is one of the easiest dishes I have cooked in my entire life. The inspiration came from an Italian baked fish and vegetables dish that I saw on Avventura on the Discovery Travel and Living Channel.

I mean, I’ve tried carrot juice and hated it. Vegetables always seemed better eaten than drank. I’m glad I tried it though. After the first few sips, I was hooked. After that, my brother and I made cucumber drinks at home using the blender.
