Herb Fried Rice
This is my husband’s creation, utilizing herbs from the garden, which my youngest daughter never fails to request whenever we decide to have a big breakfast on the weekend or when we have breakfast for dinner. In the photo above, we had it with homemade tocino and scrambled eggs for a very filling breakfast.

Uncle Ben’s Whole Grain White Rice GIVEAWAY
Eating healthy is a constant theme in any household and ours is no exception. However, eating rice has never been a problem. We eat tons of rice! We eat it three times a day whenever we could! When I received the samples for Uncle Ben’s Whole Grain White Rice though, I was hesitant how my family would react to it. For one, they are a bit of a snob when it comes to rice. They consider Uncle Ben’s as the fast food of rice and they had always turned up their noses whenever I’ve suggested Uncle Ben’s in the past. So this time around, I didn’t tell them it is rice from a box. I just made it and threw the box away. Guess what? They ate it! The bad thing … Read entire article »
Suman – Sticky Rice in Banana Leaf
When I think back to special occasions like birthdays and Christmas during my childhood, this delicacy is always present. I had a grandmother who made the best suman and she would always make some everytime we saw her. The whole family claims, to this day, that no one made suman quite the way she did and I agree. While my girls like my version enough, to me it just falls flat compared to the memory … Read entire article »

Spicy Marigold Rice
My family loves their steamed rice and hate raisins. So when they say that this is one of the best rice dishes they’ve ever had, you better believe it! You can see a peek of the Indian dinner we had last week. This dish is not only pretty to look at, it was aromatic and delicious as well. This was a perfect compliment to the spicy curry. The sweetness of the raisins is a perfect counter for any spicy dish. We’ll definitely be cooking this rice again.The recipe for this was also from the All Around the World Cookbook by Sheila Lukins but I altered it a little to suit the ingredients I had. … Read entire article »

Left Over Fried Rice
Like Lalaine at CookMobile, I have had rice in the brain all month. It’s not a bad way to start of the new year, I say. I still have the puto experiment to get on with, so no, the rice challenge is definitely not over for me. This is a common dish in our house. I usually fix this on Saturday mornings for brunch when I finally get around to cleaning out all the left overs from the refrigerator so I can make room for weekend leftovers. Jade has been perfecting her beef stirfry (bistek); since their winter break she has probably made this dish three times. The last time was last night when she cooked dinner for her and her friend Vin. … Read entire article »

LP 22 – Puto
When I first started brainstorming about what to make for LP 22, I thought of trying my hand at making Tapey, a rice wine common during the holiday season in my mom’s hometown. It requires a yeast called bubud, to encourage fermentation, that I was determined to search for. But, holiday preparations got in the way and I resigned to try my hand at something simpler instead; this puto and kutsinta combination. Little did I know the process was not as simple as I thought to get the results I wanted! At least for the kutsinta I was partially successful and can foresee future tweaks to improve on it. My attempts at puto, however, leaves a lot to be desired. I wish I could have read Stef’s puto experiment, her entry … Read entire article »
