Here’s another recipe I made when I was in Virginia using mushrooms. It’s a good thing my cousin La loves mushrooms too since all the meals I cooked in her house contained mushrooms. I saw this recipe on Smitten Kitchen and I filed it on my simplenote iPad app for cooking in the future. SinceContinue reading “Mushroom Crêpe Cake”

Dinner at Clyde’s of Reston
My recent trip to the USA had me rethinking about American Food. It’s definitely not the stereotype I had in my mind. My meal at Clyde’s was definitely good American food. Clyde’s of Reston is just one of the 13 restaurants under Clyde’s Restaurant Group. This was located in my favorite Reston Town Center. TheirContinue reading “Dinner at Clyde’s of Reston”
Warm Sourdough Bread Salad w/ Roast Chicken
It’s funny but I cooked more when I was in Virginia for 4 weeks than a whole year in Manila. I find it easier to put together meals when everything is so convenient in their supermarkets. Everything is pre-cut, pre-packed, pre-cooked. All you really have to do is be creative and put all the ingredientsContinue reading “Warm Sourdough Bread Salad w/ Roast Chicken”
Baked Fish w/ Fennel
A few days ago I posted a recipe of Mushroom Truffle Pasta that I made for our dinner when I was in Virginia. My cousin La made this Baked Fish with Fennel. Before this dinner I’ve never tried fresh fennel. I’ve used fennel seeds with its aromatic anise like flavor for making Italian sausage. FreshContinue reading “Baked Fish w/ Fennel”
Creamy Mushroom Truffle Pasta
When I was on vacation in Virginia last July we didn’t eat out all the time. One night I offered to cook some pasta which is my specialty. My favorite ingredient for pasta is fresh mushrooms which are costly in Manila and we don’t get many varieties either. For this dish which I cooked withoutContinue reading “Creamy Mushroom Truffle Pasta”

I did some research on the net and came up with my own recipe for garlic parmesan pita chips. IContinue reading “Garlic Parmesan Pita Chips”
Roasted Broccoli
I read a lot of food blogs and magazines and I would always copy the recipes that I want to try. 80% of the recipes are desserts and the rest are meat or pasta dishes. I save them on my computer or on my iphone. I will probably cook only 1 out 100 of thoseContinue reading “Roasted Broccoli”
Inarizushi
I love sushi but not so much the raw stuff. I can remember the first time I tried inarizushi. One bite and I was in love. I really liked the beancurd skin but I don’t usually eat all the rice inside. It’s a good thing I saw inarizushi with different fillings in a Japanese restaurantContinue reading “Inarizushi”
California Summer Rolls
One day I happened to see a picture of this dish on a friend’s facebook page. I thought it looked good and easy to do. These are the results of my experiment. I served them at our New Year’s Eve party and everyone like it. I don’t really know what this dish is called butContinue reading “California Summer Rolls”
Pasta with Sun Dried Tomato Pesto, Sausage and Spinach
I bought this giant jar of sun dried tomatoes from Costco last year and it’s been sitting in my pantry waiting to be opened. I finally opened it last Monday to make sun dried tomato pesto for a pasta dish I was going to make for lunch. Rochelle and co. were coming to the houseContinue reading “Pasta with Sun Dried Tomato Pesto, Sausage and Spinach”
