Fried Chicken Necks

Judge me guilty this Fried Chicken Neck. I admit and I know how high in cholesterol this is but hey, forgive me again! I love its crispiness and juiciness. Fried Chicken Neck is a good chicken dish if you wanted to eat chicken but ran out of budget. So to make it even, serve them with vegetables. Just be careful to munch only 2 or 3 Fried Chicken Necks. You might find yourself later hypertensive. I hope not because...

McDonald’s Burger Caramba and Saucy Beef Rice

My husband and I went to Manila last August 5 to get some supplies for his contracts and went to Banawe, the car accessories selling mecca of the country. It was only then that I fully understood why my husband would let me go shopping alone or would leave me at the mall, do my shopping and he would just go find some food or just anywhere he pleased.

Filipino Chopsuey

Vegetable dishes serve as the other half of the plate or counterweight of a balanced meal. Pairing sweeter vegetables with more full-bodied and robust main courses, mild or slightly seasoned vegetables with intense flavored meats, and sweet-and-sour pickled vegetables as side dish with a mellow grilled, steamed or fried fish or meat.

Empanada

As a working mom, I usually prepare and leave bites and nibbles in our home so anytime my husband and my son would be starving, warming the food up a little bit is the only thing they needed to do before a hearty meal. I have known baking Empanadas since I was in grade school. My mom taught me how to bake them and she was also the one who introduced me to entrepreneurship by selling them to my classmates. I made a...
