Banana From Philippines

If you live here in USA, you will always crave for Filipino foods no matter what. That is why when any of us will hear that there are Filipino stuff available nearby, we always grab the opportunity to go and check for it.

One of my Filipino friends posted a picture of a plate of cooked bananas in Facebook yesterday that she just bought from a Filipino store here in our area.

After I saw the picture, I craved for it, so I went there, too, right away. I even had to interrupt my husband's working on his homework just to take me to the store. Disappointed. The store closed early. I was craving for it too bad that I was thinking about it for the whole night. This day, I had to work morning shift. My husband was in school for the whole day, so it was my dad-in-law who picked me up from my work. I realized I still have the bananas on my head so bad that I asked my dad-in-law to take me to that Filipino store, and of course, he did.

Finally, I got these bananas. Although I have to admit that I was a bit surprised to see that these are packed frozen bananas. The instructions says to either steam it or micro-wave it. I steamed it right away we got home, and had it for snacks before I took a short nap.

Thank you, Lord, that Filipino food are available here in our area. Thank you, Lord, for giving me an understanding husband and a loving family, too.

Boiled Green Banana and Raw Salmon

When my husband and I were in Tallahassee, his cousin took us to an Asian store where I found these green bananas. These are the kinds of bananas that best for cooking, and that I can't find it anywhere. I bought 8 of them, with the thought of splitting them in half. The first half will be for boiling while still green, while the other half will be for frying it ripe. And I did... well, on the first half though.

When I was talking to my best friend, Ann, via Skype, she showed me that she was eating boiled green bananas, and I told her that I got those , too. She suggested that I should prepare a raw fish to eat with it (it used to be one of our favorite dishes when I was still there in the Philippines), and I said, "Oh yeah, that's a good idea!" Right on the following day, I went to Pacific Seafood (my favorite place when it comes to fresh seafoods). I was not sure what kind of fish to buy. I saw Sea Bass, but was told that they were frozen, not fresh; and so I settled with Salmon.

I never did this before, but I have the best teacher when it comes to coooking, and that is my best friend, Ann. I was so happy on how it turned out, that even my husband liked it, and actually ate with me with the banana. That was an awesome dinner.

Oh, I am so thankful to God that this is possible here.

Holiday Cheese Ball Recipe

Guest post written by Heather Brown

.

I've been doing all kinds of stuff to plan for the holidays and even though Christmas is almost here, I'm not done with my planning. My in-laws are getting to our house the day before Christmas Eve, so I wanted to have some nice refreshments set out for them after their long drive.

I went online to try and come up with some different recipes that I could use to make things for them when they get there. While I was online looking up that stuff, I came across some website CLEARWIREINTERNET.COM and after I read through it some, I signed up for an internet package from it.

I found some cheese ball recipe that I'm going to make. I've never tried to make a cheese ball before, I've just always bought cheese balls, but I don't think that it can be all that hard anyway. But IŐve also bought a good selection of crackers that IŐm going to serve with it and I think that theyŐll really like it. I remember last Christmas that my father-in-law ate a lot of a cheese ball at a holiday party.

Food Trip Friday #24 - Gambas

I am joining Mommy Willa on this "Food Trip Friday" meme for a reason that I want to challenge myself to try something new food at least once a week in order for me to learn to cook.
.
.
.
.
.
.
When my husband was in the Philippines to visit me, one of the "first time" foods he has tasted was the Gambas, he liked it and became one of his favorite Filipino foods. The "hotter" (spicy hot), the better it is for him. None of us were trying to make Gambas when I get here in USA because we both don't know how to do it, until last Friday, he had decided to research for its recipe, gave it to me, and there you go. I am glad that it turned out great. We both enjoyed our dinner.
.
Ingredients:
Shrimp, ½ kilo, uncooked medium shrimp, cleaned, peeled and deveined
Red Bell Pepper Large, seeded, cleaned and diced
Carrot, medium diced
Garlic, 4 cloves, minced
Onion, ½ cup diced small
Tomato Sauce, 250 grams (one pouch)
3 Small native chili, minced
1/2 cup green peas (optional)
1/4 cup mushrooms
3 – 4 tablespoons of olive oil
.
Cooking Instructions:
Heat olive oil in pan, add garlic till it browns then add onion and sauté, cook for 30 seconds, then add carrots, chili, mushrooms, green peas and bell pepper.
Add tomato sauce, then cook over medium heat for five minutes. Add shrimp and cook for three minutes more, until shrimp turn opaque.
Serving suggestion is on heated iron plate/wooden platter with side of rice.

Canned Peaches

I was checking the pantry this afternoon to see what would be good for dinner, then, I found out that we still have this last jar of canned peaches. I am so happy. I thought I ate the last one. I miss this peach so much. This is my favorite fruit here in USA. This canned peaches is from Michigan. Mom and Dad grow them. They brought these (and some other canned goodies) for us when they came here for a visit last March.
.
One of the things that I love about Michigan are the fruits and vegetables we have in our backyard. It felt so blessed to eat the harvest right from your own backyard. I remembered my first fruit picking there was a red apple. How I love those feelings. It was something that rarely happen to anybody in the Philippines. It never did to me. How I miss to pick up peaches during afternoon, when Paige, Fluffer and I go for an afternoon walk. Precious moments! Now, I can only wish for a chance that we will go there again to visit. There are so many things I miss about Michigan and I am just so thankful that I had that experiences. God is so good. They are treasures that I kept in my heart forever.

Chocolates Symbolizing Sweet Life On Thanksgiving Dinner

Thanksgiving Day will be in less than two weeks from now. I better start to figure out what I will prepare for that big family dinner day. I don’t know if we will be open on that day, but I hope that we will not so that I can have time to be a part of it and to prepare the foods, too. Just like how it was the last year, my husband’s relative that live here next to us, and some from other states will be having a big Thanksgiving dinner at the basketball court where everybody just take their food in, dine and just catching up the months or years they missed. It is kinda like a family reunion to us.
.
Thanksgiving Day is about food, different kind of food; because it is about being thankful of the abundant living we have, especially if you are tending a field. I believe that it is about sweets, too, symbolizing the sweet life we have throughout the year. That is why I find it rather a brilliant idea that we place some nice bowl in the center of the tables and fill them with chocolates .
.
Talking about Chocolates, See’s Candies is where you can find the high quality chocolates with friendly, old-fashioned service since 1921. They are made of finest grade raw ingredients of 100 varieties in all. Let me say this, if you are a fine chocolate lover, and had not tried this one, I suggest that you should do so. Fill up that half space that you miss in your life.

Food Trip Friday #23 - Sauteed Mushroom

I am joining Mommy Willa on this "Food Trip Friday" meme for a reason that I want to challenge myself to try something new food at least once a week in order for me to learn to cook.

My husband and I are "Mushroom Monsters". We love mushrooms very much. We put mushroom in almost everything we prepare. I know I liked it long time ago, even when I was still in the Philippines, but my husband just learned to like it few months ago, when Orville, his cousin had him try a giant Portabella Mushroom. Since then, he always picked Giant or Baby Portabella mushroom every time we went to buy groceries.
.
This time, I am not going to give you a recipe because all I did with this Sauteed Mushroom was sauteed it with few kinds of seasonings as how ever you want it. We always had the mushroom before our dinner. It is what we call "appetizer". Then, half an hour later, dinner is being served. :)

Ms. Apple's Crab Shack

We wanted to go to the Space Coast State Fair to ride their "rides", we arrived there too early, as early as 2 p.m., and so we just rode past the location, off we went to Lone Cabbage to just sit around together with busload of tourists anticipating alligator around. While we were there, my husband called Michael, (he works at the Fair) asked him what time the fair open, told him it will be on 5 P.m. We didn't want to hang around for 3 hours more to wait for the fair to open. We decided to just go back home and maybe come back another day, as our availability permits.
.
On our way back home, my husband suddenly was craving for crabs. Ms. Apple's Crab Shack was on our way, so we have decided to drop by and see what they got. Once we were inside, I was amused as I was looking at my husband's face, he looks like he was out of his mind looking at those hundreds of crabs. They got shrimp, fish, mussel, oyster and clams, too. He can't decide what to get. After almost quarter of an hour looking around, he finally decided to get half a dozen large size crabs, have them cooked it and we took it home to eat with rice. We had a very filling dinner and were very satisfied. Thanks God for the food.
.
For your information, Ms. Apple's Crab Shack is located at 520 Merritt Island Causeway (Florida). The owner is Ms. Apple, a very friendly Thailander. They have cook, too, and he is very good. We like how he did it. We really enjoyed our dinner with the crabs.

Malunggay - (Before and After)

May of this year when a concern (Filipina) citizen, Beth, of Hawaii offered to give away malunggay seed to anybody who might be interested. She posted it on WOF (World of Filipinas), which my husband has been a member since 2006 and up to the present, but I have been the one using his account since he no longer need it since I came here. :)
.
The picture on the left was the seed right from the envelop that my friend sent to me; and the picture on the right is what it looks like after planting it on the ground for 4 months. Well, I planted them first on a small pot and kept inside our house; and two months after I had decided to transplant them on the ground where it really belongs.
.
We call this "Malunggay" in the Philippines. It probably got different name in different country, but it is "Moringa" in English. I don't even know if anybody here in USA knows about this plant. Filipinos used the leaves of Malunggay like you do with Spinach and also the fruit it produces as a vegetables. Both the leaves and the fruit are very nutritious, which contain many vitamins like Vitamin C and other minerals. Filipinos have been eating these leaves as part of our food for centuries. I remembered that a friend of mine used it as a hang-over remedy to her brother, too.
.
I am looking forward to see it growing tall. It can grow as tall as 10 feet or more. This plant grows in a tropical country, I am worried right now because it gets colder now here in Florida. I hope that it will survive until next spring again where it can really grow faster.
.
Thank you very much, Beth, for your generosity. You have no idea how many Filipinas (including me and my Filipina friends here in the neighborhood) you have helped and made happy. I believe God had blessed you already, and I am praying for more blessings for you.

Emergency Food

My husband and I had decided to do something that I believe is a smart idea. Every time we buy groceries, we always buy extra one canned goodies to put away for what we call "emergency foods". You will never know that you will need them, and it is better to be ready than to be sorry.
.
Emergency foods are for the unexpected time that we can't go out to buy our food because of some calamity, like for example, a hurricane, which is very common here in Florida. Emergency food is also a good solution when an unexpected group of visitors comes up and, of course, you have to serve them some dinner or lunch.
.
The other day, I had decided to put out all the canned goods from our pantry to sort them out, to arrange them in order according to their "best before" date. Few of them will hit the date soon, and so I have decided to put them on our kitchen counter to remind me to use them up soon.
.
Well, emergency foods also served as our helper when both of us were too lazy to go out to buy for our dinner. It happened to us sometimes, and it was a relief to have them. They also serve as a "good samaritan", for when some neighbor in the middle of their cooking realized that they need something, and that they missed to buy it, they would call us and asked us if we got "it", and if we do, their problem is being solved then. It happened a lot to us, too. Thanks to the "emergency foods".

As with the rest of my weekly meme, I have been neglecting my "Food Trip Friday", too, for the reason that I didn't have any entry for it. It seems like it has been a while that I haven't tried anything new in my kitchen, until today. My entry for today is what I called "Noodles Overload". Actually, it has been a while since I started doing this. It happened when at one time we had left over grilled beef steak, and then I had decided to put it on noodles for our lunch the following day. We both loved it. Since then, every time my husband made grilled beef steak, he always set aside some portion for our "Noodles Overload" the following day. This is very easy, and this guarantee that both adult and children will love it. Here is the recipe:
.

(For one serving)
1-pack Maruchan beef flavor noodles.
left over grilled beef steak, cut into cubes
1-2 stalks of green onions, chopped
... you can also add some chopped carrots, cabbage or any vegetable of your choice.

Bring to boil 2 cups of water and left over beef steak, put the noodles (and vegetables), bring to boil for 3 minutes, add the Maruchan seasoning, stir and removed from heat. Serve in a bowl and add the green onions on it. Enjoy it while it is hot.

Groceries From Philippines

These and a little bit more are the groceries that I bought from Philippines that I brought home with me here during my last visit there. These are the stuff that I can't find here... or let me rephrase it, I can barely find here in USA. That was why when I was there, I really spare some money to be able to buy these groceries.
.
Allow me to enumerate them with the explanation on why I like them. I want to start with the corned beef. Sure enough we have corned beef here in USA. They even say that the corned beef here is better than in the Philippines. That is why most of the Filipino from here take some from here to bring to Philippines. I don't disagree with that. In some way it is true, but personally, I love the corned beef from the Philippines better than the one from here. Why? Probably because it is more juicy compare to the corned beef here. And also, there is a big difference on how we cook our corned beef back in the Philippines compare to how they cook theirs here. No offense, americans. We all have different tongue. I'm talking about sense of taste.
.
The second one is the Lucky Me Pancit Canton. This is my husband's favorite snack. There are different variation available, and I bought the "Extra Hot Chili" which he likes very much. The hotter is the better for him. Although I can find them sometimes in one of the Asian store around here, but barely the hot one.
.
Another one is the McCormick's Carbonara Mix. This is mine's favorite snack. I can't find this one here. Or maybe I just haven't be to a store where I can find them. Although I can come up with something else to get the taste that I want for my Carbonara, but having this mix in a packet is a lot easier.
.
All the rest are just extras, such as Nescafe 1 use pack instant coffee, Magic Sarap All-In-One seasoning, Knorr's Sinigang, Nestle Cream and Maggi Savor. Having all these stuff, and standing in my kitchen makes me feel like I am still in the Philippines.

Wow! It has been a long while since the last time I had my entry for Food Trip Friday. It has been 14 weeks to be exact. I feel bad that it has been that long since the last time I worked on my kitchen for something new. This time, my entry is a dessert. Few weeks ago, my husband and I had dinner at one of the Cuban restaurant, and

they served flan afterwards. My husband liked it very much, so I promised him to learn how to do it, and since it is one of my favorite dessert, too. So, here I go.

.

Filipino Leche Flan

.

Preparation time: 30 minutes
Estimated cooking time: 1 hour
.

Leche Flan Ingredients:
1 can (390g) evaporated milk
1 can (390g) condensed milk
10 egg yolks
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or lemon essence
.

For the caramel:

1 cup sugar
3/4 cup water
.

Leche Flan Cooking Instructions:
In a saucepan, mix the sugar & water. Bring to a boil for a few minutes until the sugar caramelize.
Pour the caramelized sugar into aluminum moulds. (I don't have aluminum molds, so I am using baking pan.) Spread the caramel on the bottom of the moulds.
.

Mix well the evaporated milk, condensed milk, egg yolks and vanilla by hand or blender.
Gently pour the mixture on top of the caramel on the aluminum moulds. Fill the moulds to about 1 to 1 1/4 inch thick.

.

Cover moulds with aluminum foil. Steam for about 20 minutes (the traditional way to make Leche Flan is by open-air steaming on either an open cooking fire or stove top) OR
Bake for about 45 minutes. Before baking the Leche Flan, place the moulds on a larger baking pan half filled with very hot water. Pre-heat oven to about 370 degrees before baking.
.

Let cool then refrigerate.

.

To serve: run a thin knife around the edges of the mould to loosen the Leche Flan. Place a platter on top of the mould and quickly turn upside down to position the golden brown caramel on top.

.

Cooking Tips:
You can tell when the Leche Flan is cooked by inserting a knife -if it comes out clean, it is cooked.

Food Trip Friday #20 - Filipino Beef Steak

I am joining Mommy Willa on this "Food Trip Friday" meme for a reason that I want to challenge myself to try something new food at least once a week in order for me to learn to cook.

.

Yesterday, after reading a Filipino forum that were talking about Filipino food, I thought of making Filipino beef steak that I missed so much, and right away, I went to Wal-Mart to buy what I need. My husband and I had a good dinner. We both like this. You may want to try this one, too.

Ingredients:

500grams of beef fillet, thinly sliced
150 ml. soy sauce

1 tablespoon of finely chopped garlic
250ml water
Juice of 1 lemon

150 ml red wine
5 tablespoons of vegetable oil
1 large onion, sliced in rings

3 medium bell peppers

Directions:

In a pan add the beef, along with the soy sauces, water, garlic, red wine and lemon juice. Bring them to boil and let it simmer for about 20-25 mins until the beef is tender. Taste the sauce. If it's too sour, add more soy sauce or if too salty, add more lemon juice. It should be a balance of sourness and saltiness.
Once tender, remove the liquid to a bowl and leave aside. Let any remaining liquid in the pan evaporate off then add the oil. Gently fry the beef for a couple of minutes then add the onions and bell peppers. Cook till the onions are translucent and still have a little crunch. Add back the liquid and let simmer for another 2 minutes.
Serve with steam rice.

During my last few months when I was still in the Philippines, I learned to make Carbonara, and I made it several times to introduce to my family and friends. They all love it. Actually, I bought the Carbonara sauce mix made by McCormick, so it was really very easy to made Carbonara.

.

When I came here in USA, I brought with me two pack of Carbonara sauce mix, looking forward to make it soon after I came here, but it didn't happened.

.

My Filipino neighbor/friend was making Carbonara and invited me over to taste it. Hmm, it was so good. It sparks the eagerness in me to do it, too. So, I bought what I needed and made it. Here are the things that we need to make this kind of Carbonara:

* 6 strips bacon, cut into small slices

* I pack McCormick Carbonara Sauce Mix (35 g)

* 1 cup fresh milk (but we preferred all purpose cream to make it thicker)

* 200 grams pasta ( I like using Penne Rigate)

Directions:

*Cook the pasta according to the instruction of its package.

*Cook bacon in a frying pan over medium heat until crisp. (My friend use chicken liver which I find very good, but because my husband don't eat chicken liver, I have to stick to bacon.)

*Dissolve Carbonara sauce mix in milk (or all purpose cream) and pour over bacon.

*Stirring constantly, bring to a boil and simmer for 1 minute.

*Serve over freshly cooked pasta and garnish with parmesan cheese (if you want, we don't)

*And I like to garnish it with a lot of chopped green onions.

.

You can be creative on it. Enjoy your Carbonara. :)

Food Trip Friday #18 - Sinigang Na Baboy (Pork In Sour Broth)

.

When I was still in the Philippines, Sinigang na Baboy (pork in sour broth) was one of my favorite dish. I have been dying to eat that food when we were still in Michigan. A month ago, we were at one of the Filipino Fast Food here in Merritt Island, and saw that they have Sinigang na Baboy (pork in sour broth). I was so happy, bought one serving of it and took it home with me. One serving (one small bowl) was $5.00, and to somebody who miss it very much, it was not enough.

.

A week later, my Filipino friend/neighbor went to Orlando and saw a Filipino market, bought a bag of kangkong, gabi (yam) and everything else that was needed, made Sinigang na Baboy (pork in sour broth) and invited me and my husband over dinner at their house. It was so good. Surprisingly, my husband liked it, that it challenged me to make Sinigang na Baboy (pork in sour broth) for our dinner, too.

.

So, I did. With the help of Mama Sita's, I did. Although I did not follow all the ingredients that is recommended, and have it customized to what we want in it, but it turned out great that my husband and I really enjoyed it. He loves Filipino foods and I love him even more for that. :)

.

Sinigang na Baboy (Pork in Sour Broth)

Ingredients:

*10 cups water

*4-5 large tomatoes

*1 large onions (quartered)

*10 stalks of long green beans (cut into 4)

*1 pouch Mama Sita's Tamarind Seasoning (Sinigang sa Sampalok) Mix

*1 kilo pork (cubed 2")

*4 pieces long green pepper

*4 medium size yam (cut into 8 parts)

*3-4 cups leafy vegetables (kangkong or spinach)

.........I put more than just 4 cups of kangkong because my husband and I both love it.

Direction:

*In a large pot, bring to boil the water and pork until tender.

*Add the tomatoes, yam, onions and pepper. Simmer until the potatoes gets tender.

*Pour in Mama Sita's Sinigang sa Sampalok Mix. Increase the heat and bring to a rolling boil.

*Add the long green pepper. Seasoned and taste. Cover and simmer for another 3 minutes.

*Add the kangkong (or spinach). Turn off heat. cover to steam cook. Serve hot.

Food Trip Friday #17 - Clams

I love clams. Actually, I love almost all kinds of sea foods. When I first met my husband (he was my boyfriend then), the only sea foods he can eat was shrimp. He had Gambas at Tambuli and he liked it very much. Then, I made him tasted grilled squid, and he was surprised that he liked it.

.

Few months after I arrived here, I started missing my kind of food, and so, by the help of my best friend in Cebu, I learned to cook Filipino foods, which I never did before when I was still in the Philippines. Every time I cook something new, I always made my husband have some taste. On his age of almost 50, he had his first mussel, oyster and clams; and he like them all. Everybody who knows him had a hard time believing that I made him eat those and like those.

.

He likes best the clams. Few days ago, we went to the fish market and bought a hundred clams. Yes, a hundred clams, because it is cheaper by hundreds. Here is how I cook them:

*Bring to boil a large pot with 6 cups of water

* Add 5 large tomatoes, 5 stalks of green onions, 5 cloves of crush garlic, few dashes of salt and pepper.

*Clean the clams shell using an old toothbrush.

*When the water starts boiling, put the clams on it. Put the lid on.

*Taste and season as desired.

*Remove from heat five minutes after the second boiling and serve.

.

And guess what, he had seventy clams while I had thirty. :)

A Perfect Gravy From Club House

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Club House. All opinions are 100% mine.

When I was still in the Philippines, I only have gravy on my fried chicken, but when I came here in USA, I learned to have gravy not only on my friend chicken, but also on my “sunny side up” egg, turkey and on some vegetables, too. On our first day here in Florida, Mary invited us to have breakfast over their house and oh boy, she made the best gravy that I ever had. I realized, I definitely have to learn how to make gravy.

In speaking of gravy, have you heard of Club House Gravy? They have this great product and the options to add roast drippings to the Club House mix to make great gravy. Gravy really plays important role in completing a superb dinner, especially for this Christmas. But making gravy from a scratch can be very challenging as it depends on the quality and quantity of dripping delivered by the roast. Club House Gravy mixes provide a dependable, easy and consistent way to deliver awesome gravy our family will love.

Never say that you can’t make a perfect gravy. A gravy tips video is provided for you to teach you step by step on how to make that mouth-watering gravy for the season holiday’s dinner.

Fish & Clams

It has been awhile that I really want to eat fried fish and clams. Since lately that I have been homesick, I had to make myself comfortable by eating what I want, doing what I want and going where I want.
.
This day, I asked my husband to take me to the fish market at Cape Canaveral and we bought this fish and clams. I can't believe we spent $20 for just one fish, but I am sure it will be worth it. My husband never had clams and he is not too fond of fish, too.
.
The dinner was served, he was surprised thatboth fish and the clams doesn't taste as he thought, and he really like them very much. I am glad that he does. It really feels good when you share somebody you like to somebody who is dear to you. We had a very good dinner and we thank God for that.

I missed to post my FTF entree for the whole month of November. I was extremely busy... always has been. I don't even understand anymore why it always has been. And... now that I am back, but... too bad, I am very late for this. Friday is almost over. (I'm so sorry.)

.

Anyway, my entree for today is Ham Roll. This is one of my husband favorite's finger foods. This was our share during our Family Thanksgiving Weekend Dinner. My husband taught me how to do this. I learned and I enjoyed it. Here's how:

.

You need the following:

*thin slice of cooked ham

*green onions

*cream cheese spread

.

Spread a paper towel on the table. Place the thin slice of cooked ham on it. Remove the moisture from it using another paper towel. Spread the cream cheese on it. Place the green onions on the edge and start rolling tightly to the end. Once rolled, cut it by an inch. Serve.
