Sometimes, there are advantages to not having demanding, little brats (just kidding – I love kids!) who’ll question your dinner choices every now and then…..but any brat….errr….kid….will like this recipe.
As I said in my previous post, I’m not on my regular schedule after a vacation back home. My pantry and refrigerator are just crying to [...]
An Irish stew flavored with the essential Guinness Stout underneath a flaky, scrumptious pie crust…it was rich and substantial and not so hard to prepare.
Thank goodness our Colorado weather cooperated and gave us another cool day so I could try this pie. Some weeks back, I read about it in another Filipino food blog, Eat [...]
I made this Pan Seared Rib Eye steak for dinner last night using my trusty cast iron pan. It’s a good recipe that would’ve been better if my steaks were an inch and a half thick. I was so disappointed to find the steaks were onky about half an inch thick each – there were [...]

Then Spouse had to introduce me to homemade American burgers that I once [...]
St. Patrick’s Day will be here in a few days. But I couldn’t wait wait to have Corned Beef with Cabbage before it came, so here it is.
This dish reminded me of Nilagang Baka and I always cooked it the Filipino-way, boiling it with onion and black peppercorn till it was falling apart. Then adding [...]
This is not your usual chili. For one, it’s served “on top of spaghetti, all covered with cheese”. This one in the photo is known as a five-way.
It’s served with the chili or meat sauce, beans, cheese (I used provolone so you can hardly see it in the photo) and chopped raw onions over [...]
