I needed another dish for our food this week and I decided to cook up Bagis.  Bagis is ground beef cooked in calamansi (Philippine lime).  I’m trying to plan my dishes wherein I can eat it up since I’m having a hard time eating due to my dental braces. [Read more…] about Bagis

The second chicken dish I cooked up today is Chicken Tinola. It’s funny that the dining table is full of chicken dishes.  Yesterday, it was full of pork!  Seems like I have a protein theme this weekend.  Anyhow, I want to make sure that we have both a soup and a main in our meal so that’s where the balance is 😛 [Read more…] about Chicken Tinola

I have a rule in the kitchen that I do only keep ingredients in the fridge that I intend to use for the week.  So as I was trying to do a cleanup of my fridge, I saw that there are still a lot more chicken thighs.  Thus, today, I decided to cook two different chicken dishes.  One of them is Chicken Adobo.

For the past few months, I had the privilege of sampling my mom’s dishes.  Thus, I never needed to cook because her cooking (especially Chinese food) is just the best!  However, since my mom left the Philippines already, I needed to get back to cooking.  So today, I decided to cook two dishes.  One of them is Pork Sinigang.
