Meatloaf and Mashed Potatoes Soup with Mushrooms
This is another use-up-the-leftovers innovation otherwise known as everything-but-the-kitchen-sink soup in our house. A few weeks ago, I made meatloaf. I love meatloaf! Especially when it is paired with mashed potatoes, gravy and green peas! It is comfort food for me, taking me back to school days and cafeteria lunches. Yes, I actually didn’t mind them! My children, on the other hand, will not eat in any of their school’s cafeterias. Go figure! Their dad also has … Read entire article »
Beef and Mushrooms Over Broccoli
For most working moms like me, a quick stir fried dish is probably a menu regular. At our house, a stirfry of vegetables and some kind of protein is certainly a dependable standby. When I am burnt out on ideas of what to cook for dinner the usual beef with broccoli or chicken with broccoli stirfry usually comes to mind.

But no, after trying it once, they ask me to go … Read entire article »

Beef Tapa
I made TapSiLog to feature the Uncle Ben’s Whole Wheat Rice Giveaway but in our house, the real star is always the meat. This is simply called Tapa or Beef Tapa in the Philippines which kind of confuses some people who are more familiar with the term ‘tapa’ as it applies to Spanish tapas or appetizers. Tapa in the Philippines is more like a version of the beef jerky. My grandmother used to dry it too, just like a jerky. But nowadays, I know very few people who actually dry it. We now tend to simply marinate it then cook it straight away. When my grandmother used to make it, she would simply marinate it in salt and vinegar then dry it out in the sun until it dries out like … Read entire article »
