| Cheers! |
Wow, it's been more than a month since my last post. I have been too busy yet again obviously. So before I babble about my not so boring life, here are some of the food we have been eating lately. This is going to be one long post again :D
Let me start with some BEEF dishes. Well, mostly meatball dishes. We bought a huge bag in Costco and I had fun throwing them into several dishes. Believe it or not, the bag still had tons left. I love beef because they are easy to cook and flavorful. They taste great in almost everything, soups, stir fry, etc. Here goes my experiments!
 |
| beef with mixed veggies and sour cream |
 |
| our favorite Pho with meatballs |
 |
| stir fry beef with oyster sauce, vinegar and bell pepper |
 |
| meatballs cooked in mushroom soup with mixed veggies |
 |
| meatballs, canned tomatoes and vermicelli |
 |
| ground beef sauteed in garlic, onion, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper and egg |
We have been cutting down on meat mostly PORK which makes me sad, really really sad. Hubby has been craving for Lechon Paksiw for the longest time. And when he craves, he bugs me no end. I made several attempts using porkloin, pig's head and pork belly.
 |
| porkloin |
 |
| roasted pig's head |
 |
| oven broiled pork belly |
Finally found the squid we like and cooked it in vinegar plus I made bagoong rice as well. Not much Filipino cooking lately except for the Lechon Paksiw.

| Adobong Pusit |
 |
| Bagoong rice |
We haven't eaten as much rice and meat in the last few weeks. In other words, I'm dying haha! I told hubby time and time again, we have to eat more healthy food, more fresh veggies, etc. and we really are trying to. The kids are loving the variety of food we are having lately except Leila maybe, who loves to eat rice and pork every single day. Here are some of the food we eat aside from our usual rice and meat.

Since the holidays are coming, eating salad won't work for me unless it's fruit salad. Maybe after the holidays we will go back to eating it again or maybe not. My family loves food period.
