It has almost been 5 months since I last posted on the blog… the longest I’ve ever been away in this digital space! What happened???!! Well, to say that A LOT has happened is an understatement. But for those of you who are up to date and have been following me on social media (ie. Instagram and Instagram Stories), I’m sure you all know how very busy I have been these past couple of months! Life happens we all know it — and I must admit there were a couple of ups and downs here and there. But we move on, realign and refocus. And now I am back and happy to say that things are looking much better now than it was before!

So thank you for bearing with my absence! I hope you missed me as much I missed you! 🙂

And now that it’s almost the end of August (how did this happen?!)  and the crazy -ber months are on its way again to make our lives even busier than it already is (but dare I say, these times are always more exciting!), I am now sharing with you some quick and easy recipes that I have tried and tested over the past couple of months for TASTE BY GRACE HOME! I am hoping that you too will be able to try these recipes in your kitchen and will say that yes, they are really THAT quick and easy (not to mention, healthy and yummy) to do!

Watch this video now and right below it are the recipes I have written down for you one by one and in order — see how much I missed writing here? 😉
