fast food take: Jolibee steak and spaghetti

It is rare to find a Filipino who does not like Jollibee food. The Philippines' very own homegrown fast food joint, showcasing the Filipino take on pasta bolognese, burgers and fried chicken, it easily rivals other famous food chains around the globe. Already, this brand and its jolly bee mascot is an icon recognized by Filipinos of all ages around the world. As it has now expanded to multiple geos, I am excited that other cultures are taking a yummy taste for this happy bee.

I for one love love love Jollibee. Each one in our family have our personal favorites, Jolly Spaghetti, ChickenJoy, Jolly Hotdog, and Peach Mango Pie to name a few. The common favorite is <drumroll> Burger Steak!

So, despite living elsewhere now, Jollibee remains close to our hearts. How we look forward to another vacation someday to our hometown; top on our to-do list is to feast on jolly meals with our kapamilya. Reminiscing, we make our homemade versions to satisfy our craving. So far, burger steak and Jollibee spaghetti are a sure homemade hit. Like that 90's hippety-hippoty song goes -- ♬ "this is how we do it!" 🎶

Japanese potato salad, onegaishimasu!!!

Refreshing Crunch in every bite Nice touch of creamy from the potatoes and dressing Wonderful colors BEST of ALL: HEALTHY 🥗 Ingredients 3 potatoes, boiled & roughly mashed 1/2 cup of picnic ham, or 1/2 can of Spam, diced and fried. 1 cucumber, sliced 1 carrot, julienne 1/2 cup sweet corn, 1/2 cup picnic ham, diced &fried Japanese mayonnaise (*or any mayo) vinegar 1 boiled egg (optional) Salt and pepper to taste. 🥗 Steps Once the potatoes and ham are done, boiled-mashed, fried, respectively. mix altogether in a big bowl. Serve warm immediately, or it can also be served after being chilled for an hour (if in a rush 30 mins in the chiller will do.) The kids preferred without onions, so I always exclude it. Pair with some nicely fried food, like Japanese sausages, or chicken nuggets; world peace over dinner is hugely important. 💡 Inspired by: Ochikeron & Just One Cookbook

Is da you?

i & our achi are having a bout of colds & flu. she got hers from school, i think. and i got mine from hers, from the all-nighters i had taking care of her the 1st few days onset. but by God's grace, we are better, it's just a matter of time :-). our shobe is just like her papa, healthy as a horse, (er maybe pony would suit her better), and still all by God's grace! :-) s o anyway, i just had to cook some soup for us.. something easy to swallow w/ our sensitive throats, not oily, and with a chock-full of vitamins to help our bodies in this battle with the virus. to me, tinolang isda (translation: fish) is just the right answer! t he last time i cooked tinolang isda was in Cebu 7-ish months ago. when I and my family got here, i was hesitant to cook the same, because i was not familiar with the fresh fish in this region. Always, all i end up buying at the grocery is the same packed frozen suchi fish.. and i h...

Hummus try this!

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...
