Mother's Day Menu

We celebrated the Mother's day at Raccoon State Park in PA with the Worthington and Brady family. We made some foods to eat while were in the middle of nowhere lol. My daughter wanted to help me with the pork bbq but I told her that it's a little messy and I suggested for her to make some fruit kebabs from the available fruit in our fridge. This is what she came up with.

Here's the pansit and bbq.

My friend Raquel made some chicken wings and the maja blanca dessert. Shy brought some hotdog and grilled it at the park.

From the park, we went straight to my FIL's house where my SIL and her daughter's family celebrated the mother's day. They prepared vegetable salad and Chicken.

I also love the cheese cake that my father-in-law has made.

Pancit canton

I cooked one package of pancit the other day. I am missing the kind of pansit (noodles) that is called pansit bato hehehe. I think that it is more tasty than this pancit canton that we're buying over here.

I also prefer bihon over pansit.

I always put a whole garlic in making a dish because my husband love garlic so much (I don't lol). I always gag when I chew on a garlic even if it is just a tiny bitty piece.

Domino Pizza

After we brought Rylie to the doctor last weekend, we dropped by at Domino and ordered us tow of their specials. I love their Hawaiian pizza and the kids love their pep & mush combo.

Usually EJ would pick all the olives first and eat it, then he would pick the pepperoni next, then would eat the crust lol..

Here he is doing his thing, pick-an-olive...

Here's the silly duo doing their funny faces while eating.. I was busy taking pictures because I did not eat with them, I had to go to the dentist afterwards and I don't want to brush my teeth again lol (tamad).

Hubby misses Pizza Hut though.

Pigs In a Blanket

It has been months since we last made pigs in a blanket so last Friday, me and my daughter made some. Actually, we intended to do some mini pizzas using her pizza maker but then the ingredients are incomplete so I asked her if we could just make pigs in a blanket and she agreed. What I like about making this snack is that it's fun to do with kids and its very easy. All you need is a can of biscuit roll dough and smoke sausages or hot dogs and you have an instant snack after 30 minutes.

Here's my daughter who love to do anything in the kitchen, anything that involves baking.

Sea Foods Overload

I grew up in a coastal area so we pretty much eat seafoods almost everyday because my father was a fisherman. So when I migrated here in the States, that was the most difficult challenge for me, finding the food that I used to love eating in my own country.

But when you're far, you have to do what you gotta do to survive, even if it meant, getting the foods that are frozen, can goods, in exchange of the fresh ones that you have in your own country. That is how we live here in foreign countries. But even so, you get to appreciate how good those things are if you find them in the store, you feel like you're "At Home".

I am blessed that my husband can tolerate the smell of seafoods when I cook it, some don't allow their wives to cook them inside their house coz they think that it's insulting or disrespectful (based on what I read).

My kids and I love fish, especially my daughter. My husband can eat fish but it has to be fried and it has be galunggong.

We also love shrimp (daughter and I), be it halabos or sinigang, it doesn't matter. Hubby always buys us a box of shrimp which cost $20 or some bucks but its worth it.

The last time we went to the oriental store, I saw some fresh bitter melon or ampalaya, so I bought a piece. I wanted to make pakbet but since I did not find any other veggies to goes with it, I just cooked it with shrimp and coconut milk. Ampalaya is not my favorite veggie but sometimes i crave for it.
