PHOTO: Filipino Ribs (Baked)
I am craving for this hence I find myself sharing a photo of the ribs that my husband, JZ cooked (with me giving instructions over the phone and through email) for us long time ago. Drools! :)
Recipe: Avocado Spinach Green Tea Smoothies
I do not consider myself a health buff when it comes to dieting — it’s actually far from reality as I usually tell people I eat like a truck driver. :D
However, for tonight (and for some other reason I don’t want to divulge :D), I found myself craving for healthy smoothies so with that, I stopped by at Lunds after my hip-hop class to buy avocado and yes spinach. ;) I chose...

Recipe: Nobu's Spicy Shrimp Tempura
I bought a pound of jumbo shrimp the other day and I already know in my heart that I want to make Shrimp Tempura. However, since I don’t want to deal with making tentsuyu sauce, I googled for variations that don’t require that said sauce—voila, I found this perfect recipe (Nobu’s Spicy Shrimp Tempura). I have been to Nobu in Miami just once and all I can recall is that...

Recipe: Pad Thai
I was supposed to blog about this after taking the photos and eating that sumptuous dinner but I think I passed out from food coma after that divine meal. Anyway, I first saw the “Beautiful Cookbook” series from JZ’s grandmother — almost undisturbed together with a bunch of books (however it stood out as the book is probably 13x20). She has the China one but I asked for...
Other JZ Cooked, too: Risotto Chicken Alfredo
My husband, JZ, requested a Wolfgang Puck digital pressure cooker for Christmas and being the (food) loving wife that I am ;), I obliged and gave it to him as one of his gifts but with some skepticism that he will use it on his own.
Surprisingly, tonight, he volunteered to cook our dinner instead of going out. He told me that he’s making Risotto Chicken Alfredo using his new toy. I just...
Photo: Salmon-Venison Sausage Patty B'fast...
Our freezer was filled to the brim of venison — thanks to JZ’s great friends and their love of deer hunting (good thing my own husband doesn’t do that but that’s a totally different story).
Anyway, since I am not that familiar with this meat (as it isn’t commonly served in the Philippines), I decided to mix it with salmon, onions and fresh basil from our garden to...

Review: Caribou Coffee: Oatmeal Reinvented?
I was running late this morning hence I wasn’t able to eat my most important meal of the day at home. Anyway, since there is a Caribou Coffee inside the building where I work, I decided to just grab something from there. I said to myself that it will give me the chance to give that new offering a try anyway — the “Handcrafted Oatmeal”. So there I was — ordering...

Restaurant Reviews: Koyi Sushi (Minneapolis)
Koyi Sushi moved from its downtown location to Franklin Avenue (at the old Seward Co-op building) which is about a block or two from one of our rental properties. It is a welcome addition to the Seward neighborhood which currently has slim pickings for dining places. The location is good as it is close to the LRT however, the view from the window(s) is facing a Holiday Gas station. :(
We went...

Today, I am having Scrambled Egg with Basil and Venison Sausage (served with cottage cheese and pita bread). Wonderful source of protein. A glass of freshly-squeezed OJ completed this meal! :)
