Pork Adobo and Lumpia

It makes me happy when my husband appreciates all the things that I do for him. For instance, he requested me to cook some Filipino food namely Adobo and Lumpia (Egg rolls) two days ago. Since he requested since Saturday I told him to buy me the ingredients and I will do the rest.

 Anyway, I made the egg rolls as well the pork chop adobo. He was so happy when he came home and I took a couple of pictures below. Check out what I've made for my spouse. He sure is one happy husband!

Christmas Dish 2013

I was working on Christmas Eve at my place of work until 3 o'clock in the afternoon and I was worried sick because I thought I won't be able to make food for our Christmas Eve dinner. Thankfully, I was able to do it after resting about an hour or so after I arrived from home and decided to make 3 types of Filipino dish that my husband had requested for me to make. The three dishes that I cooked were Pinoy Style Spaghetti, Bake Stuff Pompano Fish and Special Chicken Caldereta. Take a look at the photos below and I will be posting the recipe later on.

What have you cook for your Christmas dinner? I would love to hear it from you!

Pork Tocino on Stick

My latest food craving was cooking some pork tocino on stick. I've chose to prepare this type of food because it reminds me of home (in the Philippines) and it also one of our favorites. The recipe is so easy and you can do it while you are blindfolded. Check out this yummy photo below!

Ready to Fry Lumpia

My husband decided to make some homemade French fries and we paired it with some homemade egg roll as well. We had a blast eating our homemade food but it is actually 2:23 in the morning here in Texas. Hubby got out late at his place of work so we end up staying late right now. We are planning to watch an old movie before going to sleep. Take a look at my homemade egg rolls ( lumpia ) below!
