hi munchkin mommy, I was having the same problem with slow loading on this site over the weekend. For some reason it binds up in Internet Explorer but not on Firefox. *sigh* unfortunately, I don’t know what the problem is. Hopefull I can figure it our soon.
Thanks for visiting!

I would LOVE to try this recipe, I love greens of all kinds, but I never seem to be able to find Swiss Chard. I look into every food store that I go into, but no luck.
However, I have printed the recipe and if ever I find some Swiss Chard, I’m trying this!

Thanks jMom!! Please do check out my shop. I am having trouble getting started with sales because when people come into my shop and only see 1 sale and 1 feedback it tends to drive them away. But everyone has to start from somewhere! I think I am going to use your recipes next week! (lets see if I can impress the boy…)

Hi Sheila, I’ve also used other types of greens for this recipe if you can’t find Swiss Chard. See: http://www.kitchen.amoores.com/2006/06/09/collard-beet-greens-in-coconut-milk/
Hi Watson, at least meron kayong dahon ng gabi diyan, you don’t need swiss chard
Hi Andrea, that’s right, we all have to start somewhere, one step at a time. Your one order will soon be lots of orders, you’ll see. You do great work.

ah ok. JMom, meron ka ba recipe ng chili beans? A friend’s sister once cooked it for special occasions back in high school… the photo of the beans in one of your recipes reminded me of it.

Oh yum! We made the same thing for this Lasang Pinoy!
Except this was my first time ever to make laing! I love it…

hi Wats0n, try this recipe for chili beans: http://www.kitchen.amoores.com/2004/12/20/winter-chili-con-carne/
It’s a very flexible recipe. You can change up the type of beans, omit the meat, make it spicier or less. You can make it anyway you like it.

hi JO and Joey! I love laing especially when it’s really spicy.
I haven’t visited the LP entries yet. I’ll have to check out your version, Joey.

This looks great - we both really like things cooked in coconut milk, and it’s a great way for us to get more green leafy things into our diet. I’ll definitely be making this sometime next week!
