Hi Guys!I hope your Saturday is as sunny as ours. Yay, Summer is back lol I was just browsing the news and for a sec there, my heart skipped a beat! Someone in our town won 500K CAD, from last week’s lottery. For a sec there, I was soooo hopeful, crossing my fingers, it was me, until I realized, I never bought any lottery tickets, boo-hoo. lol So…let’s just share a recipe for now I asked my husband to boil me some matpe beans, but I did not really specify how much, so he cooked the whole bag. Of course, waaaaaay too much. It ended up as breakfast, lunch, and dinner And also, for snack time…which was this following Dal. Sooooo good, believe me My boys enjoyed it as well, so am happy.
