We have changed quite a bit of our grocery list for the past weeks. We are looking forward to more healthy meals and getting our grocery budget down. Those reasons and probably because we have grown tired of the usual meals. And also lately, I have been getting more and more food coupons so might as well try them.
We recently purchased a big styro pack of chicken breasts which my hubby loves. He prefers those over the other chicken parts since they're easier to fillet, delicious on stir fries and perfect for
homemade chicken tenders that my son prefers over store bought frozen ones. I got to relax and let hubby cook several versions of his stir fries. So yeah, that chicken breast will definitely be on my grocery list again.
Aside from the chicken breasts, we also got some thick sliced pork chops without any fats/skin on. It was perfect for Pork Tonkatsu. The Panko bread crumbs is another must on our grocery list now. However, it's bottled Tonkatsu sauce for now, I'll do my own next time.
I also made Pancit Canton as I couldn't think of anything else to cook. We had a bag of shrimps, Mama Sita's mix and a bag of frozen veggies plus some fresh noodles so I threw them all in a pan and was done in under ten minutes. There were a lot of leftover rice the next day which I made into fried rice and partnered with fried chicken.
A new favorite of ours is the
Tom Yum soup. We bought a bag of mixed seafood specifically for that. The last two batches that I have made were without noodles. The hot soup and white rice were just perfect for each other. Don't forget the fish sauce! This soup has so much flavor and easy to make. It's basically broth, tom yum paste, seafood and your choice of vegetables. Boil, season and you've got yourself the most flavorful soup ever.
Ever since I tried using ground pork for this
adobo, I have never looked back. My daughter loves it and can eat three small bowls at a time. This time, I added hard boiled eggs just like you would on a normal adobo dish.
And there's this dish that my mom used to call beef stew but it's more of a version of Nilaga (Boiled Beef). The beef are sliced into small chunks, sauteed in garlic, onions and tomatoes, seasoned with fish sauce, boiled until tender before adding carrots, potatoes and cabbage. I added chinese cabbage for a change and some beef fats for more flavor (yikes!)
And before I forget, I finally used the raspberry cream cheese frosting over a tortilla. Healthy or not, new or old dish, a little tweak here and there, we had an awesome week eating all these yummy food :D
