Saying that my kid love sinigang, would be an understatement. He adores the dish that he can eat it one week in a row. Believe me, yes, I tried! He was four when he developed his liking for that sour soupy dish. The good thing is he can pretty much devour anything in the soupy dish, be it fish, shrimp, meat and yes even the vegetables are a welcome treat for the boy. I grew up in a family

Laziness was attacking me last Thursday and I was really having a hard time dragging myself to the kitchen to cook for food. But, my son is expecting that he will be eating something special since that was my restday. I checked what was inside our fridge and I was able to find a tub of frozen salted egg sauce from the crab dish that I did last week. An idea popped in my mind to toss in some

Fried Tilapia may mean boring especially to kids but not to my kid. So how do you spruce up a boring dish like this? Try to serve it with an array of dippings. Not only are you going to encourage your kids to eat but you will also open the door to more food options. You will also get to enjoy different taste with a very simple dish.My fried tilapia was served with these three special sauces.

It's always nice to go the the market at dawn. I was able to score some good (read:fresh) crabs. It was nice because I was craving for a crab dish that one friend shared online. Hubby and I were arguing though because he wants me to cook it with Black Pepper sauce after much prodding he agreed to have it with Salted Egg Sauce instead.Ingredients:2 pcs. crab, cleaned and cut to serving pieces1/

My mom would always popped in my dreams from time to time. She never failed to pay me us a visit in our dreams. Last Wednesday was never different. I was contemplating of registering a name for a business venture and was trying to focus myself on finishing the task at hand. Later that day, I was discussing with Hubby that if Mom would still; be alive, she would have been starting getting

Dinner is always a big deal in my family. It is the only meal that we get to enjoy together. The same reason why whenever I have the time to cook I always make it a point to prepare something really special and good. Last night was no difference. I was craving for a vegetable dish but my kid wants to have some chicken. We compromised and I ended up cooking this dish. My main ingredient would

I actually don't know how the name Cottage Pie came to be. I am guessing though the original person who initially cook this dish was living in a cottage. I was well, partly right. According to Wikipedia, this pie was introduced almost the same time that the potato was being introduced as a poor man's food. Cottage was synonymous to dwelling of the poor people then. On the contrary, this pie

Alright, admittedly, our family was never a healthy eater but that was way back when Mama was not yet diagnosed with the Big C.  No, we were never raised to much on those junk foods like there is no forever.  It's just that we are not aware of what we are getting on the foods that we are eating day in and out.  It would be suffice to say that we eat so we will feel full and so we would not feel

Faux Ice Cream Ever wonder how to tickle your kid's interest on food? Why not try to put two of their favorite foods together. Ice cream and cupcakes! Yes, I was able to put the two together. Well, actually I am going to serve these by Christmas time. I just wanna try it out and let the kid have a taste on the faux ice cream. I want to see how he will react when he tasted them and realized

Have you ever wondered why a birthday celebration isn't complete without a cake?   Cakes had been a staple not just on birthdays but on most celebration even from the ancient times.  Most  articles about the birthday cakes points out that it can be traced back to the Ancient Greek.  Well, ancient or not, since I have been into baking, I made it a point to bake a cake for a person's birthday.

So why a food blog? I was sorting my blog entries on my root domain and I came to realize that quite large amounts of the entries I have pertains to food. And why not, huh! Ever since I was a kid I have always been surrounded with great food. Being raised by pure blooded Bicolnon, who knows their way in the kitchen, my palate was introduced, at a very young age, to the flavors and textures of
