Adobong Paa ng Manok (Chicken Feet Adobo)

Does this scare you? Sorry if I make you cringe. Nope, this is not a Halloween Edition of Hungrynez’ recipe. I know that to some the picture is a yucky, deadly and scary image of chicken feet yet a yummy feast to some just like me. I like to categorize ADOBONG PAA NG MANOK (CHICKEN FEET ADOBO) as one of the exotic foods of Philippine Islands. I believe Asians are much acquainted with Chicken Feet since it is...

Apple Cinnamon Muffins

I took a break for a while from baking. It is quite hard for me with my big belly to go around the kitchen, reach for baking utensils in our cabinets, bend on my knees if I dropped something and whew, I find it very warm for my tummy each time I bake. I was grateful Royce was at home last weekend and helped me bake some goodies again. I guess he misses my baking. I had a couple of apples waiting in our fridge so I...

Chicken Macaroni Supreme Salad

Chicken Macaroni Salad Supreme is almost half gone! Thanks to my Royce for reminding to get a shot before our salad is gone. Anyway, desserts and sweets are my best part of the meal. They make lunches and dinners truly enjoyable. My eyes as well as my taste buds enjoy the variety of colors, shapes, sweetness and tang of fruits, sweet breads, chocolates, puddings, candies, gelatins, and many more. My favorite...

Creamy Gelatin Medley (Gulaman)

My three-year-old son, Colby, discovered his love with gelatins (gulaman) when my father-in-law bought some jelly-ace from the grocery. Since then, he would always grab a pack of jelly-ace from the candies section of the grocery. Last night, I prepared Creamy Gelatin Medley from the extra sachets I made from Fruity Gelatin Layers few months ago. I added a little condensed milk and cream to go along with the gelatin...

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...

Squash Bread

Feeding our kids with something healthier like vegetables and fruits is usually a fight scenario at homes and is such a hopeless mom’s mission to accomplish. Moms, like I, do some crazy ideas just to nosh my 3 year old son, Colby, with peas, broccoli or anything green like a spoon pretends to be an airplane to land on his tongue or hide bits of carrots under rice. Although lately, Colby seems to liken...

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...

Well this article may tell you to think again. In every day’s hassle and rush, a good number of us people tend to succumb to the habit of skipping breakfast.
