Since I’m going back to basics with my recipes, I decided to include one of the first dishes I made in college. Pancit is a popular dish that can be found at many Filipino parties. I’ll go on a limb and say that if there’s a Filipino party, chances are you will find a plate of pancit. I don’t know

This week, we were assigned to bake date & orange muffins. I’m not a fan of dates so I subbed them with another orange combo, cranberries. I was excited bu I was afraid of how these would turn out. Namely because the batter was not as watery as the previous muffins I had made. Maybe it was the wheat flour

I attended the very first South Bay Food Fest today. I’ll admit that I was a little apprehensive at how the event would be considering the craziness that was the first LA Food Truck Fest.

Thankfully I got there early enough to avoid the long lines (and food potentially selling out). The menu on the White Rabbit Truck was very familiar to me. Meals I

Alright, if you’ve been following this blog for a while, you know that the recipes I post are either from cook books or hand me downs. I’ve made up a few recipes but they’ve been simple: pastas, sandwiches, beverages, sides. Never have I tried to make an entree on my own until today. This was the first time I used

My Mexican food challenge began in El Segundo in a small strip mall that hosts Valentino’s Pizza & Katmandu furniture, two places I’ve seen a ton of times during my tenure in the South Bay. Teresa’s Mosaic Cafe opened last year and seemed pretty popular with local workers in the area as it was practically filled to capacity when I

We’ve been talking about comfort foods lately with the change of season. For me, the granddaddy of them all is Chicken Adobo, a dish I’ve had for as long as I can remember. It really doesn’t get easier than throwing all the ingredients in a pot, letting it marinate. Then simmering it for an hour, allowing all the aroma from

I’m a Farmers Market newbie. Have only been going just a few months. However, going to the market has made me more aware of the change of season.
