I’ve made this low-fat Spinach Quiche one of my regular stand-by lunch recipes for some time now.
Spinach is one of those Super Foods packed with vitamins and minerals, best when boiled and not raw. I read this trivia in our local paper and was pretty relieved cause raw spinach is not my favorite thing in the [...]
Here’s an interesting way of serving a Filipino favorite, salted red eggs or itlog na maalat. Youngest Sister prepared it for lunch one time and it was so amazingly fresh tasting and different that I just had to make it for lunch today. The colors in the photo didn’t come out right for some reason [...]
NOTE: This is just another of my pending posts that never got posted for one reason or another.
This is pretty much like Eggs Diablo without the heat. This is one of the dishes I made to use up odds and ends in my refriegrator in preparation for the Big Move. It was actually [...]
I’ve been meaning to do this omelette which I first tasted at the Village Smithy in Carbondale, Colorado last July when Spouse and I went to Redstone for our anniversary. I thought it was a perfect recipe since I’ve always been gaga over smoked salmon (anything smoked for that matter) and cream cheese. I didn’t [...]
Sunday Brunch is getting to be a nice habit for Spouse and I. It’s just a nice way to start what will turn out to be the most leisurely day of the week.
This week, I tried a recipe I’d never tasted or cooked before: Eggs Florentine. Spouse has never had it himself so he was looking [...]
A summer squash is something I only got to try when I moved to the US. It’s always found next to the zucchini at supermarkets. These two vegetables actually go very well together. But I like the summer squash more, mainly for its sweetness. I just found out that this vegetable is also very beneficial for your [...]
This ground pork omelette was a regular packed lunch item when my siblings and I were in elementary school. I can still remember that scent when you first opened your plastic lunch box at the school canteen. It was a mixture of the pork, the bell peppers and the plastic. This always came with steamed [...]
I first tried this dish at a small Chinese restaurant somewhere around the Timog/Circle area of Quezon City. For some strange reason…like a failing memory…I cannot recall the name of the place! It was a favorite lunch choice of my officemates and I, quite affordable and consistently serving good, simple Chinese cuisine. I heard they [...]
Each time Spouse and I stop at a Chinese restaurant, there’s an 80% chance I’ll be ordering this dish called Mapo Tofu. I never bothered to cook it before since it’s so convenient to pick up the phone and order it for delivery. When I scouted for a recipe online, I was pleasantly surprised at [...]
After cooking a dish a couple of times, and introducing some of your own innovations, it becomes yours. Like this Fish with Blackbeans and Tofu which has become one of mine and Spouse’s favorites. This recipe is based on a couple of recipes I used in the past.
It’s evolved to be a quick and easy [...]
There was a time when I didn’t even know what a perfect boiled egg was. I love boiled eggs, unlike majority of the world population I’m sure. If you handed me a hard-boiled egg, I wouldn’t look at it with a discerning eye. I’d just pop it into my mouth.
When I needed hard-boiled eggs, I [...]
