Tinola (Filipino Chicken Stew) is basically chicken in broth sauteed in garlic, onions and ginger. Back home, chayote and green pepper leaves go into this dish. I used chinese cabbage, bell pepper and onion leaves instead.
Hubby craved for some baked potatoes so I made twice baked potatoes with mozzarella and bacon. I'll make these again for Christmas.
I used ground buffalo meat and ground beef for my meatloaf covered with bacon. yup, that's my free bacon over there!
Hubby again craved this time for sweet macaroni salad. It's my first time to make a sweet version and we like it. Lacks color though, didn't have any carrots inside the refrigerator. Recipe courtesy of our friend Arni. Ingredients include macaroni, mayo, condensed milk, chopped celery, raisins, cubed cheese, salt and pepper to taste. I am definitely going to make this again, reminds me of KFC's (Philippines) macaroni salad.
I experimented on some fish given by my coupon buddy. I didn't want to fry them, would've have been easier but I wasn't in any mood for lingering fish smell. So I lined the fish in a pyrex, drizzled with olive oil, seasoned with salt, pepper and light soy sauce. I sliced an onion, put some whole peppercorns, chopped onion leaves and popped them into the oven. It was delicious! My experiment was a success.
Lastly, hubby's favorite, STEAK! Broiled in the oven for less than 10 minutes, seasoned with steak spice and served medium rare.
No wonder I haven't finalized my Christmas menu yet. We've been eating really good food every single day. I couldn't ask for anything more, hmmm..maybe some desserts? Happy eating everyone! :D
