funny side up

If I've not mentioned it already, my little family is in love with chicken  🐔  eggs. 😍 We do not have the  e99y as our beloved padre de pamilya for no reason at all.  Omelette, sunny side up, egg sandwich, deviled eggs, scotch eggs, adobo eggs, salted eggs, egg soup, oh the list does go on!  Another of our favorite take is steamed Eggy Pie . Much-loved by my brood, this one is perfect for merienda in school and at work or right in the comfort of home.  Dessert? Easily so! Simple and delicious, this is also a no-bake recipe. Instead of oven, only a steamer  is needed. And THAT makes it an absolute keeper in my recipe list!  😎 Steamed Eggy Pie Serving size: 8-inch pan 1+1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup cold butter 2 tbsp sugar 3 large eggs 1 cup evaporated milk 3/4 cup condensed milk Vanilla essence Prepare the crust: 1. Mash and mix the dry ingredients below.     1 +  1/2 cup all-purpose flour   ...

Hummus is long overdue; this was my hubby's request for the longest time already. The classic take is always using chickpeas. M y easy excuse was that chickpeas here in our region is not as cheap; no main ingredient, no hummus! 😝 But ever so thankful for foodies around the world who share their recipes online... was I happy t o find that there are versions using eggplants, squash, and cauliflower!!! Definitely cheaper alternative to the peas. F or sure there are quite a few more options out there. But Google already had me at eggplants . Our eggplant hu mmus turned out delicious. Hummus really try this!  Sorry, but pun intended 😁.  This hummus is apparently called Baba Ganoush, originating from the Arab region.  (F ile exotic name in a shelf along long-term memory aisle. Check!  Ohhh lots of yummy dishes in those places. But that's for another day in the kitchen. For now...)   Let me it note down for future Arabian-esque dinner nights at home. Baba G...

Kitchen jargon can be quite a mouthful. It can get really confusing, especially if you have just started cooking or are giving instructions to one who is. However, if you also need to translate an English cooking term into your own dialect, the challenge level rises even more! 😕🤔 We really got to watch that language, yes? 😅 I compiled here the words I fairly use in our kitchen. I included in the list those that are pretty self-explanatory, but of huge importance to recall my Visayan version of these words. I hope this helps you too in some way! Here's a visual of the usual mince vs cube vs dice, and others 😉. By makezine.com (pinterest):

Are you both a foodie and a movie buff? If so, then surely you love watching on the big screen movies that largely incorporate scrumptious food! For being such deliciously charming movies, what are your favorites? Top in my list are these two:   1.  Ratatouille (2007)  Set in France, this is the story of an unlikely friendship of a one-of-a-kind rat, Remy, and a hard up, clumsy but kind young man, Linguini; where one has an unusually refined taste for a rodent, and the other an unbeknownst inheritance. Their circumstances take them to a partnership they never imagined to reach for their dreams! This being a family movie that entertains the young and young once is a huge plus! 2.  Chef (2014)  This is a heartfelt and funny story of a 50-something chef in California. He is divorced and had no time for his young son. His career once started promisingly; foodies were on the lookout for his gastronomic creations. But pressure from the restaurant's pr...
