Burger King’s Burger King Double Stacker is currently my favorite from BK these days. That bacon is really good. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still a Junior Whopper kind of girl hehe.

BACON & CHEESE BURGER ON WHEAT BUNS
Burger King’s Burger King Double Stacker is currently my favorite from BK these days. That bacon is really good. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still a Junior Whopper kind of girl hehe. But yeah, Burger King Double Stacker is good. We do indulge on fast food burgers once in a while, especially when out on errands and we had to grab something quick. However, as much as possible, we like making burgers at home as well. Hubs and I don’t really like the premade patties. We prefer making them ourselves. My husband’s “signature” burger to make is ...
KIMCHI AND CUTTLEFISH STIR-FRY
My husband and I love Kimchi. Having spent a year in Korea while serving in the Army back in 2003, my husband had tasted the best Kimchi. He said people there eat so much of it and they also have different dishes where kimchi is incorporated into the dish inself instead of just being on the side when meals are served. One particular dish he keeps talking about is the combination of pork cubes or cutlets and kimchi. I’ve made it once but I don’t think it was all that great coz I added too much ...
LEMON TILAPIA FILLET
For this lemon tilapia fillet dish, I adapted the recipe from my lemon chicken recipe. It was easy to prepare, fast too cook, and simply delicious. Coz when it comes to fillets, simplicity goes a long way.
SELF-FROSTING NUTELLA CUPCAKES
When I bought the jar of Nutella last weekend I made a vow (yes I did) that part of the Nutella will be made into cupcakes. I’ve always planned to do that whenever I buy one but it never gets that far. Darn those nutella sandwiches and occasional spoon licking. Well, I finally made self-frosting nutella cupcakes and golly they were so beautiful and delicious.
MUSSELS & MUSHROOMS PASTA ALFREDO
I had another pack of frozen mussels from the Baked Mussels that I made last Christmas that needed to be cooked before it goes bad so I cooked them in Alfredo sauce with mushrooms for the Angel hair pasta.
Organic Greens W/ Boiled Egg & Italian Dressing
I got hungry one day but didn’t want to eat any of the sweet treats or chips we got in the house. I remembered we had organic salad in the fridge but I wanted to spruce it up. I didn’t want leftover meat on it though. The light bulb turned on, boiled eggs. Behold, organic salad with boiled eggs and creamy Italian dressing. It was filling and healthy at the same time. I was so proud of myself :) . Technorati Tags: organic salad,organic greens,sald with boild eggs,healthy options
Baked Chicken Caldereta
Whenever I visit the Filipino/Asian store nearby, I always grab a few packs of different mixes. Mostly I grab caldereta, menudo and sinigang mixes. I don’t live in the Philippines so the mixes are the closest to I have in tasting caldereta, menudo and sinigang dishes. There are also adobo, pansit, stir-fry, and tocino mixes but I don’t buy those coz I can make those dishes with my eyes closed without the help of a mix :) . With the former 3, I need the mixes. But that’s not what this dish is all about..
Holiday Recap: New Year’s Eve/Birthday Dinner
A continuation of the lechon kawali/deep fried pork roast post which we enjoyed for our New Year’s Eve dinner which also happened to be my birthday dinner as well. I did not make any appetizers since we actually went out for lunch which served as my birthday eat-out celebration.
Lechon Kawali aka Deep Fried Pork Roast
For my birthday dinner/ New Year’s Eve meal, the main entree was this deep fried pork roast which in Filipino culture is called Lechon Kawali. My husband actually handled the deep frying of this bad boy using the turkey deep fryer that we bought for our Thanksgiving Day turkey.
Christmas 2009 Dinner
For our Christmas dinner, we didn’t do the traditional ham or roasted chicken. Hubs found some really nice looking rib eye steaks from BJ’s days before Christmas which made him declare, “we’re having steaks for Christmas.” I had no problem with it coz it meant he’ll be grilling, :) .

Pizza “Bruschetta”

Bacon Wrapped Beef Stuffed With Portobello Mushrooms, Cheese, and Asparagus
