Bacon And Scrambled Eggs With Tomatoes

Bacon and Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes

Brunch for me for me today. This was one of our usual breakfasts growing up. It’s something my father would make for us to eat before taking us to school.

Maki Sushi Rolls

I'm not feeling well today, so I ordered some maki rolls for my "feel good meal", aka treat today.

Beef Steak and Onion

This scrumptious meal is inspired by the popular Filipino cuisine, Bistek Tagalog, that my father often cooked. It was a staple dish in our household when I was growing up. I love it so much that it is a favorite food for me to take for my school lunch. In this version, I cut down on the soy sauce so it is not as dark and salty as the original.

Honey Apricot Glazed Pork Chop

This honey apricot glaze for these pan-seared pork chops is simple but delicious. The roasted zucchini is a refreshing vegetable that goes well with the pork. Great with steam rice or mashed potatoes.

Crispy Pata

I remember fondly the times when my father and mother would visit me at the dorm during my college years. They traveled at least five hours round trip to bring me some change of clothes and some of my favorite dishes that my father cooked himself. Crispy Pata was always one of those dishes I always requested.
