Chicken Adobo
Being that my mommy is Filipino, chicken adobo was a dinner staple for my family growing up. I was never interested in cooking (until I met my husband and actually started to care about my health) so I never helped my mom with dinner or cared to learn her recipes. A few years ago I…

Chicken Soup, Linguine, Pumpkin Custard
Today I took it upon myself to make REAL chicken soup for the family I work for. They’ve been very busy and consequently their bodies are tired. I saw some Airborne on the counter and thought that some healing foods would be good for them. They have a few cans of chicken soup and a…

Japanese Yum-Yum Sauce – PALEO VERSION!
I started a new job as a nanny this week. The third grade child got straight A’s on his report card so the family went out to a Japanese steak house for dinner last night. There were leftovers in the refrigerator so I fed that to the toddler for his lunch. There’s a giant bottle…

Slacker
So this was dinner like two weeks ago. London broil. Pretty rare, to my liking. My husband did a fabulous job cooking this ^.^ The veggie/meat ratio doesn’t look right in this photo but rest assured, I ate like a plateful of broccoli altogether. Between the two of us we kill a whole bag of…

Brewer’s Tasting Room
Dinner Friday evening was pretty standard: Chicken thighs, onions and mushrooms with broccoli 👍 (there was more broccoli waiting for me on the stove). Saturday morning I painted my toes and had a few mimosas before the day turned dark and dreary. It was about 1:30 when the weather turned nasty. Shortly after that time…

Fried Fish
Typically my husband and I stock up on frozen fish at Whole Foods like mahi and wild sockeye salmon. Well apparently my husband threw in a bag of frozen monkfish. I saw it defrosting in the refrigerator the other night and thought it was mahi since it was white. We ate the fish last night…

Quiche-ish Dish
A few weeks ago I attended a 3rd birthday party celebration. It was a Saturday morning purple pajama party with a waffle bar!! Lots of waffles, lots of toppings and garnishes for the bloody Mary bar. There was also a quiche. Quiche is delicious and simple yet I’ve never made one. I obtained the recipe…

Beef Stirfry
My husband and I FINALLY made the drive to Whole Foods in Tampa two weekends ago to stock up on meat. It’s been great to have fresh high quality red meat in our lives again. I absolutely love the smell of raw steak. I often wonder if I’d like the taste as well…..lol I’ve heard…

Brisket Dinner
Grabbed food from Locale Market last night. It actually wasn’t our first choice. We wanted to go to Chief’s Creole Cafe but they, along with the bbq joint next door, were rented out for a private event. I’ve had brisket from Locale at least three other times and each time it was soooooo good! Mouth-watering…
