Breastmilk Cheese

I happen to see the Yahoo news this morning which features NEW YORK CHEF DANIEL ANGERER’S BREASTMILK CHEESE. Yap, you read it right! Cheese made of his wife’s breastmilk. This really caught my attention. So, I asked my friends, “Would you like to try breastmilk cheese?” Some would say, yummy! Why not? Breastmilk is better than cow’s milk. Some would say, eeewww! Breastmilk is best...

Sweet and Sour Fish (Tilapia)

My blood pressure reached 140/90 few days ago. My OB advised me to lessen oily, sweet and salty foods since I have a history of pre-eclamsia.

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...

Turbo Broiled Chicken

My mom was invited by her former high school friends to a potluck lunch party last weekend. She was hesitant to buy a potluck dish since she wanted to bring something she specially prepared for them, yet uncertain to cook because she didn’t want to go under the tedious process of buying, peeling, chopping, waiting for the meal to be cooked, seasoning, and everything. So, I suggested that I will lend her my...

Beef Salpicao

This BEEF SALPICAO recipe is shared to me by my friend Nerissa during our TGIF gathering. To have the best flavor, the beef needs to be marinated for 4 hours but if you are in a rush, an hour will do. A very tender and comforting dish to satisfy a sudden guest or to bring in a potluck gathering. Try this and you will sure ask for extra rice. BEEF SALPICAO 2 tbsp cooking oil 1/2 kilo beef tenderloin, cut into...

Ginisang Kamatis (Sauteed Tomatoes)

February is not just a season to celebrate the romantic spell of Valentine’s Day but the time of year to feast with the abundance of tomatoes. Tomatoes are sold in the wet market for only 5 pesos per kilo. Yeah, you read it right, FIVE PESOS per kilo. Some vendors actually even sell the over-ripped ones for only 3 pesos. I arrived home from the market, Royce asked me, “Hindi ba OA ito? (Are you not...

Nilagang Monggo (Stewed Mung Beans)

Stewing is another way of preparing mung beans or monggo. This recipe is easier to cook than the Sauteed Monggo Beans that I posted previously. Just place all the main ingredient in a pot with water, boil it, wait until cooked,  season it and eat it. Some season it with plain salt but as a Pangasinense, I love the monggo beans with the salty taste of boneless fish sauce or locally known as Bagoong. The combination...

I’m back!

I know, it has been a while… a very, very long while. It has been more than 4 months since I keyed in my last blog entry. I know being pregnant is not a valid excuse for being gone from blogosphere as I am on my 6th month now. I have been over with those cravings and aversions but I had a very hard time getting myself upbeat from August up to mid of November. Though mood swings gradually disappeared, fatigue...
