Spicy Buffalo Wings

I signed up for the Taste and Create food blog event a few hours past the deadline so I didn’t really expect to be included. But what do you know? Not only was I kindly considered but I also got paired with the host, Myamii, herself! Yes, yes! Read more
Herb-and-Mustard Cornish Hen
January 2, 2008
A combination of fresh herbs and honey mustard gives these cornish hens a delightful, tangy taste. The secret is marinating them overnight to allow the flavors to permeate through. Read more
Finger-Licking Good Chicken Wings
December 16, 2007
Innovation results from need. I think this recipe is a perfect example of that.
My mother-in-law taught me a recipe on one of her visits at home. It’s basically marinating chicken with spicy vinegar and frying or broiling it. Very good! One day, I had a hankering for some mighty wings to go with my favorite sauteed bean sprouts and tofu. I took out the chicken wings, cleaned and cut them into parts; opened pantry-no vinegar in the house! Checked for lemon-none! Hmmm? Describe vinegar? Sour. I remembered the packages of dry tamarind soup base that I got on sale (3 for a $1) a week ago. I usually stock this as my daughter loves sinigang soups. Sinigang is a popular Filipino sour-based soup using a meat or seafood medium, guava or tamarind flavor and loaded with lots of vegetables such as bokchoy and eggplant. Read more

Chicken Curry
December 16, 2007
This is where the other half of my 5-pounder chicken went (see chicken afritada recipe). On weekends, I try to prepare 4 to 5 dishes for my daughter’s weekday lunches so I don’t worry about what she eats while I am at work, buried in work. I keep the prepared dishes in plastic containers, ready for her to reheat in the microwave. Unfortunately, there are weekends I don’t get around to it, what with the piled laundry and house cleaning waiting to be done (on my only days of rest and relaxation! Welcome to America’s fast life lane!). The poor child has to resort to fat-and-calorie-laden offerings of fast food establishments on her way to school (her college is within walking distance of our house and the road is dotted by A&W and KFC restaurants!). But this weekend, I’ve been good! I resisted the urge to take a much-needed nap and cooked up a storm instead. Read more
Miswa Noodles and Meatball Soup
December 16, 2007
As I’ve written in my ginisang carne norte (sauteed corned beef) entry, I usually prepare four to five dishes on Sundays for my daughter’s lweekday lunches. Miswa is one of her favorites and usually enjoys it on its own as a soup. The dish, however, serves well sauced over steamed rice and paired with fried fish such as my crunchy-fried petra sole recipe. Read more
Chicken Liver and Onions

I have a very poignant memory of chicken livers. Maybe it’s why I cook this chicken liver and onions often, too often for my husband and daughter’s liking. Read more
