I saw a pack of Zatarain’s Fish Fry Mix at the store so I figured I’d try it with the pretty looking  salmon I bought at BJ’s. Something for a change. Fish Fry usually uses cod or haddock but I decided to be “fancy” and used salmon instead. (more…)  Read More →

  In some regions of the Philippines, coconut milk is one of the ingredients in the dish called ADOBO which happens to be one of my favorite Filipino Dishes. It’s either in pork or chicken. Pork is my pick any day. Anyhoooo, in my cooking years, I’ve never made adobo with coconut milk until... (more...)

Part of my husband’s birthday dinner last week was Lobster Bisque. I did not make it as indicated in the title and by the picture itself. I bought a pre-made one from a wholesale store called BJ’s. The Lobster Bisque is from Legal Sea Foods brand. 2 containers of this size cost $11.99. (more…)  Read More →

Lasang Pinoy, Sundays theme this week is ROLLED. It worked out perfectly coz I have this stuffed pork roast with spinach and mushroom ready to roll, so to speak . This pork started as a pork loin. I cut it in half without going all the way to the bottom, and then butterflied the sides to get a flattened... (more...)

My favorite dish to order when going to the Mexican restaurant, La Cocina, is the Fajitas Texanas. Basically, it’s a sautéed goodness of beef, chicken, and shrimp with onions and green peppers. Then you get a side plate of shredded lettuce, Spanish rice, refried beans, sour cream and guacamole (optional).... (more...)

I think the last time I drank anything Bacardi (it comes in different flavors) was 3 years ago. I still remember the heartburn I got from it. It’s the same heartburn I get when I drink Smirnoff which I also haven’t touched in a long time. Last Friday, my husband came home with a 6-pack for me. He... (more...)

Burger King’s  Burger King Double Stacker is currently my favorite from BK these days. That bacon is really good. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still a Junior Whopper kind of girl hehe. But yeah, Burger King Double Stacker is good. We do indulge on fast food burgers once in a while, especially... (more...)

  I found these set of porcelain chopsticks at  the Oriental Store in Raleigh last year actually. I’ve been meaning to post them  for a while but just never get the time to do so. The chopsticks featuring Chinese characters and calligraphy are longer than the regular wooden chopsticks... (more...)

    My husband and I love Kimchi. Having spent a year in Korea while serving in the Army back in 2003, my husband had tasted the best Kimchi. He said people there eat so much of it and they also have different dishes where kimchi is incorporated into the dish inself instead of just being on... (more...)

  For this lemon tilapia fillet dish, I adapted the recipe from my lemon chicken recipe. It was easy to prepare, fast too cook, and simply delicious. Coz when it comes to fillets, simplicity goes a long way. (more…)  Read More →

When I bought the jar of Nutella last weekend I made a vow (yes I did) that part of the Nutella will be made into cupcakes. I’ve always planned to do that whenever I buy one but it never gets that far. Darn those nutella sandwiches and occasional spoon licking. Well, I finally made self-frosting... (more...)

I had another pack of frozen mussels from the Baked Mussels that  I made last Christmas that needed to be cooked before it goes bad so I cooked them in Alfredo sauce with mushrooms for the Angel hair pasta. (more…)  Read More →

I got hungry one day but didn’t want to eat any of the sweet treats or chips we got in the house. I remembered we had organic salad in the fridge but I wanted to spruce it up. I didn’t want leftover meat on it  though. The light bulb turned on, boiled eggs. Behold, organic salad with boiled... (more...)

Whenever I visit the Filipino/Asian store nearby, I always grab a few packs of different mixes. Mostly I grab caldereta, menudo and sinigang mixes. I don’t live in the Philippines so the mixes are the closest to I have in tasting caldereta, menudo and sinigang dishes. There are also adobo, pansit,... (more...)
