Chicken Liver Adobo Pate
I am a liver lover – much to the chagrin of a lot of my friends. Most of the time when there is liver on the menu, i squee like a little girl presented with a warm chocolate cupcake. Weird, I know. Liver is one of those things that is in the absolute yech list. … Continue reading
My First Ever Blog Award
Many thanks to Grace, The Cooking Apprentice, for giving me my first ever blog award. Hooray! I would like to thank my husband and friends for consuming what gets cooked here and for all my friends who give me questions and inspire me to cook for them. What is the award about? Liebster is a … Continue reading
Leftovers for Breakfast (Leftover-silog)
I love weekend breakfasts, but I hate cooking on an empty stomach. I like brunches, but I detest getting ready early to meet my friends – you see, my friends very well know that if they want my presence early in the morning I. MUST. BE. BRIBED. WITH. FOOD. A traditional Filipino breakfast is a … Continue reading
Bok Choy Two Ways
Aaahh… bok choy! Whenever I dine out with my friends at any Asian restaurant, there is a prerequisite of ordering vegetables. This is because we believe in ordering “the basic food groups” which means, a chicken dish, a beef dish, a pork dish, a seafood dish and a vegetable dish. I know that’s a lot … Continue reading
Mackerel and Spinach Adobo
Recently, I have made the conscious effort and decision to eat better. This is no small feat, as I barely have time to shop and cook (and blog it here) – and I refuse to eat anything that is labelled low-fat, low-calorie and whatever sugar free substitute is out there in the market. For a … Continue reading
Stuff In My Kitchen: Upcycled Pantry Organizers
We all long for that beautiful and organized kitchen. The stuff that magazine pictures are made of! Sigh. Those beautiful containers add up, I know. I own 2-3 of them and I couldn’t bring myself to buy more than what I have now. Thank god for my husband’s love for chocolate milk. His addiction has … Continue reading
Tomato and Egg Instant Ramen
The nor’easter Nemo is freezing New York City as I write this. I’ve blogged about my hurricane preparedness and while it may seem like suffering to eat ramen noodles for survival (oh the dramatics!), here’s a recipe for you to enjoy the day when you should be staying indoors and NOT ordering delivery. This dish … Continue reading
Garlic and Butter Broiled Salmon Heads
As I have mentioned before, I have a penchant for buying whole fish. Since buying a whole salmon is out of the question, I prefer cooking its head. Salmon steaks are expensive, and not as fatty and succulent as the meat from the collar and cheeks. Besides, at $1.99/lb, how can I resist a very … Continue reading
Turbo Duck (Crispy Skin Roast Duck in 90mins or less)
Say hello to my 90-minute or less Turbo Oven Roasted Roast Duck! This easy to prepare feast of a bird was our 2012 Christmas Eve Dinner. I can’t say it was inspired by anything except that I bought two separate things on a whim: a can of La Chinata Smoked Paprika Powder, and a headless … Continue reading

If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 5 years to get … Continue reading
