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!
