In the Cooking Mode

Today is a lazy day for me. Why? Because it's been raining like crazy for the whole day. I didn't get the chance of walking Pumpkin outside and I feel so sorry for her. I hope the weather is okay so we can walk early in the morning at the park. I did a lot of cooking today. I made Filipino foods for lunch, dinner and for our brunch tomorrow. My son loves the meal I prepare for dinner. It was a garlic spinach, eggplant with garlic and oyster sauce; and fried tofu with lime juice, onions and soy sauce for protein. He did eat rice with all of it. Anyway, below is a pork adobo with new potatoes for brunch tomorrow.

This dish happened to be the Philippine's National dish; it is easy to make and really delicious especially if you eat it with steamed rice and some veggies of your choice. On the other hand, I can't eat it with rie for I am diabetic. So, I eat it with few cubes of potatoes instead. Anyway, if you haven't tried it, you should. "cause if you don't....you are missing a lot!

Salted Eggs and Tomato Salad

This salad is very simple and easy to make. Salted eggs and tomato salad is the traditional accompaniment for Tinapa (Smoked Fish), a perfect match for grilled pork or any fried or grilled fish.This is one of the foods I miss so much from the Philippines. I love it; still eat it every once in a while even though this is salty. And salty foods are not good for me healthwise.

Foods I missed most on Christmastime

I am pretty sure that Bibingka and Puto Bungbong are your favorites, too! I tell you now, am drooling with these foods. These reminds me of Christmas in the Philippines which I really miss so much! I still remember when I was young, my brother and used to attend midnight mass and after the mass we would buy these two and eat them in front of the bonfire with hot milk.

Don't you guys miss these foods, too? I bet you do! In case some of you are wondering, I am talking to my fellow my fellow Filipinos here :-)
