Secret to Happiness

 

"I don't know 

the secret to happiness,

but I tell you what,

I've never been sad at a 

Mexican Restaurant."  =)

Fiesta Mexicana (Mackenbach, Germany)

 

Our first Mexican food in Germany!

Well not exactly first,

But we decided to go and eat there for the whole experience!

And I love the break from cooking from time to time!

We got to try 

Fiesta Mexicana

in Mackenbach Germany!

If you are in Kaiserslautern area it's definitely worth the try!!!

First time having this and omg!!!

It's their Mangonada!

The Tajin was definitely a good touch!

Always here for the Biriria!

Next time I will try something different

Definitely miss the unlimited chips in the US 

but this was so good!!

The boys had few different dishes and it was good!

I love that you can order different tacos in one plate!

Yes!!I had Birriria!!

It was really good!!

Their spicy sauce was bomb!

I would definitely come back to try their other stuff in their menu!!!!

SPA Day (Landstuhl, Germany)

Got to experience my first ever Head Spa!

I have been wanting to try it for a long long time.

There is not much Spa in the Area that offers a head spa

I am so happy I found one that seems good.

In Landstuhl!

It was so warm when you enter and thats just perfect since it's been so cold outside!

It smelled so good too!

Vanessa was the sweetest, 

She made sure that I didn't wait too long.

Even though they seem to be having a busy day,

Since I decided to try this on Valentines day! ( I know, that's crazy.)

But hey, I'll take this than any Chocolates and Teddy bears or flowers!

Their front door as you enter!!

After my head spa I also had a deep tissue massage,

I really need it and it did not disappoint!

I'm pretty sure I fell asleep for a few minutes!

It was definitely one of the best Spa day!!

I highly recommend if you are in the Area!

You can Book an appointment online or call them!

You deserve it!!!

Germany Home ( Mini Bar )

 

I am so in love with our new Mini Bar.

One day maybe we can have the big one

But this will do for now.

It was so easy to assemble,

as of Hubby!

It was from Amazon!

What else you think I should add??

It was perfect!

Time to make more cute drinks!!!

Bacon Wrapped Enoki Mushroom

 

To be honest,

I don't think I had Enoki Mushrooms before we got here in

Germany, I know it's weird.

I decided I want to try it if I see it at any grocery stores

after seeing all of the Ramen videos s on Tiktok 

I was missing out,

The crunch of it is such a good addition to soups!

I wanted to make something different so I made these Bacon wrapped Enoki Mushrooms

A thinly sliced beef would be good too!!

You pretty much just wrapped the Enoki Mushrooms in Bacon.

Baked in the Oven for 375 F 

Surf and Turf Dinner (Valentine's Day)

 

Our first Valentine's in Germany was amazing.

Like always!

We love making Special dinner at home.

Cheers!

We made these really good Appetizers

Something we have never try making before!

And it was really good!!

BBQ Charcuterie Board

 

We did it again!

Remember when we made BBQ Charcuterie Board for Super bowl Sunday?

HERE

We made it because we were rooting for the Chiefs

And this year,

The outcome may be not the same when we first made it

It was still fun to root for the Chiefs!

I am definitely loving this sports more than ever!

We added a few dish to our meal 

Like this Paella that we got already made at the Grocery store

I am so impressed how good it was!!

The perfect plate!

It was all so good!!

I kind of just randomly added stuff

But here the recipes for

Crockpot Ribs

Baked Beans

This was actually fun  because you can also just add stuff you have in the fridge!!

It was all so good!!

Enjoy!
