This Rich Creamy Shells Pasta is a Smooth, Cheesy Comfort in a Bowl


Looking for the perfect weeknight comfort food that’s quick, indulgent, and ultra-satisfying? This Rich Creamy Shells Pasta is your answer. With tender shell pasta coated in a velvety, cheesy cream sauce, this dish brings warmth and luxury to your table in under 30 minutes. Whether served as a main or a side, it’s bound to become a go-to favorite. It's been a while since I cooked a pasta dish so I thought why not go with pasta shells. I love this type of pasta because it has the added advantage of holding the ingredients inside their shells, so you always get that extra sauce stuck in between the hollow spaces. I also love cooking with pasta shells because they kind of remind me of the ocean. Which I haven't been to in a really long time. The last time I ever visited an ocean was when we were in primary school for a class 8 school trip when we were younger. It was a trip to Mombasa for a week. My best days were those spent collecting shells, which I would then tightly squeeze against my ear to hear the ocean breeze. 

Sweet, Creamy & No-Churn Condensed Milk Mango Sorbet


Beat the heat with this Condensed Milk Mango Sorbet, a refreshingly sweet and creamy frozen dessert that’s bursting with tropical mango flavor. Made with just ripe mangoes, condensed milk, and a splash of lime, it’s the easiest way to enjoy a no-churn sorbet at home. Smooth, rich, and ready in a few simple steps – no fancy equipment needed! I can officially say I'm in love with mango sorbet. Thus, one is especially creamy because I used condensed milk to add that touch of richness that comes with the condensed milk. The best part of this sorbet is that it only requires two ingredients and no machine to create such a decadent dessert. It is so smooth it just slides down your throat. This reminds me of when we were young and we would get ice cream after attending church. It was always a Lyons Maid ice cream.
