Parmesan Tilapia

I have at least a dozen of my favorite recipe books sitting on my kitchen countertop for easy access. Considering between these books are at least a thousand meal ideas and inspirations, you would have found silly how I was going back and forth last night from freezer, fridge to pantry deliberating on what’s for Read more

Asparagus and Crab-Stuffed Dover Sole with Tarragon Cream

I know, I know. The title asparagus and crab-stuffed dover sole with tarragon cream is quite a mouthful. But I offer no apologies. Reading its name in one gasp is the only difficulty you’ll encounter with this recipe as this dish is very simple to put together for casual family dinners yet fancy enough Read more

Yellowfin (Ahi) Tuna Poke

I am sorry. I am very, very sorry. This past week has been downright crazy for me. I worked from 5 AM to 10 PM this last Saturday and Sunday because of the annual Department of Health Services survey of our facility. I’ve been doing my nursing clinicals after work to 11:30 PM on Thursdays and Fridays. I am drained, exhausted, tired to the bone. It seems at 38 years old, I can no longer push myself to the limits that I used to. To my subscribers who Read more

Ginisang Sardinas at Miswa (Sardines and Vermicelli Stew)

It is a learning adventure, this food blogging. Not only am I discovering foods outside of the Filipino cuisine, but I am also finding that there is more to the Filipino cuisine than adobo. In my quest to discover fresh meal ideas for the blog, I often find myself steering almost every conversation I have towards food. It was in one such conversation that I discovered from a Filipino nurse at work that it is customary in some areas in the Philippines to add miswa noodles to sauteed sardines. Whaaat?
