Saucy.
What comes to mind first?
For me, this:
Sweet and sour pork. Yes, a Chinese recipe but it has come to be a Filipino dish that we love.
I love this but honestly, I haven’t tried cooking that. Maybe because we haven’t had pork for a long time (except pork steak cuts for baon). I tried sweet and sour sauce with fried tilapia though.
That by the way was an order from Chowking 😉 Tastes good but a tad too sweet. I could do with more lean meat than fat and more vegetables in the dish.

Every Saturday, participants post photos based on a theme. The theme for this Saturday is BREAKFAST.
See a Filipino breakfast here.
Young and old alike, pancakes are breakfast favorites. From those plain pancakes to those fancy pancakes with add-on like chocolate chips or marshmallows on top, these are on the top of the list of must-haves for breakfast or even any time of the day.
Pancakes as my children’s heavy snacks served one cool afternoon 🙂

Lasang Pinoy Sundays theme for this week is all about the “walang kamatayang” SILOG.
The more popular terms are tapsilog, longsilog and tocilog.
But now there are different varieties like hotdogsilog, Ces’ entry pusitlog, danggitsilog, spamsilog, cornedbeefsilog, friedchickensilog, hamsilog and anything and everything that catches the fancy of the one preparing the food or the one who will eat the preparation.
Imagination has no limitation when it comes to the silog combination.
Below is our all-time favorite Rodic’s tapsilog, which I also featured several times in my blogs with the tapa already flaked for easier chewing 🙂

When my hubby had our photo taken, our son didn’t look at the camera because he was busy eating his tapsilog. When asked why, he said he missed eating the combo 😉

For the third week of the What’s in your Lunchbox Meme entry over at the FilipinoMomBlog.com here is what Julian and Tania had for snacks yesterday:
Sliced apples and chocolate milk drink. I know these do not exactly “match” but they love both so that is what I give them.
The apples were washed using (I know this may sound weird) liquid dish washing soap to ensure that the skin is clean. The apple is then sliced thinly so that they can easily eat the pieces and not feel that have had too much of the fruit.

Theme: Green
I love greens, from the raw vegetable salad to the greens like camote tops, malunggay leaves, pechay and others that go with other food cooked as viand. As a healthy alternative, I personally prepare my own vegetable salad for my consumption. This is way less expensive than if I have to buy those that are ready-made.
One of my favorite salads is made up of just (Romaine) lettuce, slices of tomatoes and carrots, diced cheese, (sliced boiled egg) and tuna.
Most of the time I do not even put any dressing because some of the dressings are rather fattening.
