Tex-Mex
Me and Hubby loves to explore different kinds of gourmet food, I was surprised since hubby is really into Tex-Mex, he enjoys it very much than I do kidding aside! He brought me to different types of place you name it and I was surprised since those restaurant's are really good, I'm very picky when it comes to food I dunno for some reason I' am raised like that lol but I'm so lucky that my husband has a wonderful taste when it comes to dinning, he know where to find the best food serve in town.
Hubby is one the best cook ever, I guess it's in his genes all the members in his family cooks. Perhaps, that's why they gave me tons of cookbooks last Christmas for me to practice my cooking skills lmao. He loves to cook for us which benefits me the most especially when I'm too lazy to cook something he will cook dinner for us.
He made us Chicken n' Rice - ( This is a very simple dish which the kids love the most ) Here's how:
2 kilo of rice
5 pcs potatoes
1 can campbell's cream of mushroom
2 kilo of chicken breast
salt
peppers
garlic
grated cheese
butter
mushrooms
onions
Step by Step procedure:
Boil rice in a rice cooker
Cut potatoes in half or 4 pcs then fry it in a warm pan with butter add garlic & onions
Fry the chicken breast while it's a little bit brown
Grab a pyrex pan then add all the remaining ingredients in the pan, put it in the oven. Set Temp to 350, cook for 15 mins or so.
After 15 mins, remove the pan to the oven spread the cream of mushroom then put the rest of the rice, chicken, potatoes and such. Add pepper & salt to taste.
Thanks to Ate Rhebz, since she helped me with the rest of ingredients on how to marinade the crispy pata I'm totally clueless on how to deal with it. I went to the Asian store to grab some crispy pata and I'm lucky enough to snag some. I called Ate Rhebz, immediately to get instructions on how to cook it. Here's how:
Purchase some crispy pata
If you have a pressure cooker that will really help but if NOT just grab a pot pour some hot water and boil the crispy pata until it's soft
marinade it with soy sauce and key limes or if you have knorr toyo mansi that will be better ( marinade for about 15-30 mins if desired )
add some salt and pepper ( if desired)
if you have deep fryer that's a lot easier but if not preheat your pot with canola oil then toss the crispy pata when it's hot and ready and viola!
ready to eat! Pair it with steam or garlic rice w/ Mang Tomas sauce if you want.
Few days ago, I cooked Bicol Express it's one of the main dishes that I can really cook as far as my cooking skills is at stake! It's not that hard to make though here's the quickest ingredients that I can share so far:
2 kilo of pork 1/4 green beans 1 red bell pepper 1 potatoes (optional) 1 cup carrots (optional) 1 can of coconut milk salt n' peppa lol =) jalapeno (optional)
Cut pork into cubes
Slice red bell peppers, potatoes and carrots ( I usually buy the one in can so I don't need to cut them into strips hehe it makes my cooking a lot easier)
I usually fry the pork a lil'bit then once the pork is soft I pour the coconut milk
Bring to boil
Add dash of salt n' peppa
Add the veggies last so that it will not be soggy
I usually pair it with steam rice of course and my family loves it, very quick and easy guys so you can try this as well.
McAllister Deli is one my favorite place especially for my lunch. I usually go there a lot lately, my daughter loves to get the bread bowl soup, it's her all time favorite. After work, I got the chance to grab something to eat because yeah I'm one of those people who is very lazy to cook sometimes lol... so I rely on fast foods lol I got some of their grilled chicken breast oh boy this one is the best and I love it as in. You should try it and I'm pretty sure you will love it as well...
I'm not really a deli fan but I can make an exception hehe... The kids love this place too..
We love chicken wings whether it's from Hooters or WingStop, to me they are all the same lol since they are part of a chicken. Most of the time, especially when I'm too lazy to cook we just order chicken wings in WingStop. I love their chicken wings especially their fries, I dunno but for some reason their french fries is fabulous lol!
