Mushrooms Cabbage Shanghai Lumpias
I made these Mushrooms Cabbage Shanghai Lumpias during Super Bowl along with bacon-peas fried rice and shrimp & veggies stir-fry. I laughed at the irony of cooking Asian dishes on the most American day in America. I’m a “rebel” that way, I guess. Anyhooo, if you’re asking why these are called Shanghai Lumpias or Lumpiang Shanghai, my answer is, I really have no idea. They could just as easily be called lumpias or eggrolls. But I grew up with the term lumpiang shanghai whenever these skinny eggrolls were served at our table so I gravitate towards that name when I make them now.
Perhaps, it’s the skinny form of the eggrolls. Instead of folding up the sides after putting the filling in the wrapper, these are just rolled all the way leaving both ends exposed. Maybe that’s why. Seriously, I don’t know. In any case, here’s how I made these skinny lumpias, 
Garlic-Parmesan Chicken Wings
I stepped away from the usual hot chicken wings and made garlic-parmesan chicken wings instead last night. It worked out fine actually coz I didn’t have to save separate wings for the children since my son doesn’t like spicy food and my daughter is not allowed to have too much spicy food. She’s way too young to be enjoying hot-sauced coated chicken wings. I’ll give her a few more years, heh. The garlic-parmesan version is definitely something the entire family could enjoy.
How-To Make Easy Siopao
Finding an easy way to make Siopao was an accidental feat while perusing The Pioneer Woman’s Tasty Kitchen portal a few months ago. I was just surfing around the site really. Until I saw one of the recent headlines which said “Siopao W/ Sassy Sauce” from blogger Skwishface. In the beginning of the recipe there was a note about excessive step-by-step photos so I went to the original post to see the pictures coz I love recipes with a lot of pictures . So from there on I learned how to make siopao so easily that I could make it with my left eye closed. Well maybe not but you’ll see what I mean when you read this whole thing.
Honey Mustard Wings
When we are having our Hot Wings night, I set aside some of the fried wings for the kids. They usually get them plain or sometimes I make honey-mustard sauce to make them honey-mustard wings. It’s quite simple by the way.
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, .
Baked Mussels On Christmas Day
I know I know, it’s 2010 and I am just now posting our Christmas food. Well, good thing Baked Mussels can be made in any occasion. Baked Mussels is one of the appetizers I made for our Christmas celebration.
Super Bowl Sunday Party Food Ideas
It’s almost Super Bowl Sunday folks. I couldn’t care less which teams are playing against each other, HeHe! We’re a Baseball family(Yankees Baby!). However, I do like the Super Bowl half-time show and of course the million-dollar funded commercials. Some are funny some are, ehhhhh. But most of them are clever and hilarious. That’s what I’m looking forward to. Plus the super bowl party food .
The best things to make for parties like Superbowl are appetizers and finger foods. You can easily buy prepared-stuff from grocery stores but if you’re like me, you prefer making things at home.
Here are a few EASY Super Bowl Sunday Party Ideas that you might want to serve your family and friends. Click the highlighted title link underneath some of the pictures to get the recipe.
Hot Chicken Wings
We love our hot chicken wings night. My wings are better than any pizza place’s wings. As I’ve been told many many times, by my husband. He’s pretty much the only one who likes HOT spicy wings as much as I do..
