***TOSILOG*** I woke up early in the morning to start my day because I am a morning person, I made this Tosilog for my breakfast, I made a sinangag na kanin out of my rice from yesterday and this is a way for us not to waste food. I added slices of tomatoes because it’s always been my favorite side dish and it balanced the sweetness of the meat This chicken tosino is from our province made by my father, He marinated it using sugar, soy sauce, Garclic, ginger and pepper, He didn’t add preservatives that’s why it’s still healthy.

WHAT IS LAING?

Laing is a Filipino dish of shredded or whole taro leaves with meat or seafood cooked in thick coconut milk spiced with labuyo chili, lemongrass, garlic, shallots, ginger, and shrimp paste. It originates from the Bicol Region, where it is known simply as pinangat.

These are instructions on how to make a creamy and delicious laing for your meal:

Go through the dried leaves, and shred into pieces. Inspect for any other stray leaves accidentally mixed in during the drying process and discard.
Remove and discard the dark green layers of the lemongrass until you get to the lighter green part. Using the back of a knife, pound ends of stalks to release flavor and then chop.
In a wide pan over medium heat, heat oil. Add onions, garlic, and ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and aromatic.
Add pork and cook until lightly browned. Season with pepper to taste.
Add shrimp paste and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 1 to 2 minutes.
Add coconut milk and bring to a simmer.
Add lemongrass and chili peppers.
Add gabi leaves and with the spoon, push down into the liquid until moistened. Do not stir for the first 15 to 20 minutes.
Lower heat, cover, and cook for about 25 to 30 minutes or until pork is fully cooked and leaves have softened.
Add coconut cream and continue to cook for about 10 to 15 minutes or mixture is almost dry and begins to render fat. Season with salt to taste.

Healthy Weeknight Meals

Cooking can sometimes feel like a chore at the end of a busy day. It’s often tempting to throw a ready meal in the oven or call for take out. But preparing a simple and healthy family meal doesn’t have to be hard or time-consuming. Here are some quick wholesome dishes that you and your family will love. They can even be prepared in advance.

Better than Poutine

I know, what could be better that a steaming plate of fries, gravy and cheese curd? Fries, gravy, cheese curd and bacon, that’s what! Throw in some fresh shallots, chilli, and a splash of roasted bone marrow and duck gravy, and we turn this popular French-Canadian dish into a something sublime.

Breakfast at my House

During the week we’re often walking out the door with a coffee in one hand and slice of toast in the other, but on weekends breakfast is never rushed. It’s a late affair, sometimes spilling over to lunch, with lots of reading and chatter in between courses of fruits, poached eggs, honey and toast. One of our favorite things we like to serve when friends are visiting are buckwheat blueberry pancakes.

Roasted Pumpkin Soup

There’s nothing better than a warm bowl of pumpkin soup on a cold autumn day. Combine your roasted pumpkin with some onion, garlic, vegetable broth, and a few spices, and give it some time to simmer away. Pair it with a few slices of fresh bread to turn it into something sublime.
