About this Cook
I am a Filipina married to an American. I have always loved to cook. I was my mother's little kitchen helper and learned a lot by watching her. I love all kinds of cuisine and I love to try something new every now and then.
My favorite things to cook
Chicken and pork adobo Pancit Canton Pasta Fried rice My Mom's pork chop recipe Food for the Gods Martha Stewart's chocolate chip pecan cookies
My favorite family cooking traditions
Rellenong manok (deboned, stuffed whole chicken) Embutido (meatloaf made with ground pork) My Mom's pork chop recipe Pinakbet and dinengdeng (vegetable stews) Inihaw na baboy (coal grilled pork)
My cooking triumphs
Anything I bake because I have always been bake-challenged.
My cooking tragedies
Apple pie - no matter what I do or try, I can't seem to get it right!

Whole Wheat Blueberry Pancakes
this was good - not to die for, but a good breakfast to start the day. i doubled the recipe and added 1 more egg. took the advice of others and added 1/4 cup more milk (2%). mashed 3 bananas and added it to the batter because i didn't have blueberries. also added about 1 tbsp. pure vanilla and an extra tbsp. of splenda.

French Pastry Pie Crust
I decided to make my own crust because I couldn't find any at the frozen section at our local store. I am so glad I made that decision because this is the best pie crust - together with grandma ople's apple pie recipe, this was a match made in heaven. I will always use this pie crust from now on.

Grandma Ople's Apple Pie
I used the french pastry pie recipe for this pie - I added 1/2 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. cinnamon and 1/2 tsp nutmeg to the sauce and had no problems with the color at all. The sauce, combined with the french pastry pie, is what makes this pie so good. Next time I make this, I will do what others did by combining half the sauce with the apples and pour the other half over the lattice top.
