    Porcupine Meatballs with Mushroom Cream Sauce literally my favourite birthday meal EVER! I don't actually remember what I would ask for as a kid, but as a teenager and every year since this has been my birthday meal.

The names in the hat were countries and your dish had to be influenced by that region. I had a Ghanian fried rice recipe from my past. So, I whipped up this easy Ginger and Vegetable Fried RIce side dish. Loaded with flavour this rice was a huge hit!

You guys it was so much fun!

    French Onion Rice

    I can honestly say, I've never truly been a fan of rice. It's just never been my thing. I truly believe it's from overuse, you see, my mom loved rice, or maybe it was my Dad and she was cooking it for him. But, after years of rice at least once a week, I'm over it. That was until, I added a package of onion soup mix to my rice. And like that French Onion Rice was born and I'm a huge fan.
