Instant Pot Paella

Instant Pot Paella
In this Instant Pot Paella recipe, I used onion, garlic, yellow bell pepper, and celery as my vegetables. For my meat, I used pork slices and chorizo. You can feel free to use a different type of meat like chicken and sausage. Or shrimp and fish. If you're making seafood, however, cook the seafood first and stash it away. Don't include the seafood when you cook the rice in the Instant Pot. Just mix it with the cooked rice after. Whatever ingredients you decide to use with your Instant Pot Paella, the only thing you should always remember is your ratio of rice to broth.

Paint Stripping Wood Table

In the end, I loved our dining table. I'm very very thankful that we received it. It's made of real wood (and not laminate covered like the ones you see now), it's extendable, and it just looks amazing. We managed to take it out of its 19th century color and bring it to a more modern look.

Window Mirrors: How to Make your apartment look like you have more windows

If you live in an apartment in the city, you would know how important and valuable windows are. They bring natural light and brightness to a room. In the city, the windows in the old buildings are usually small. Sometimes, these windows even face another building so the light is blocked. To remedy this, I like to use mirrors that look like windows. I call them mirrored windows or ventanitas.
