Seasoned Tilapia Fillet
My pantry already contains ingredients I need to cook a wholesome simple meal. Spices that help deliver big flavor when combined. For a home cook such as myself, this is essential.
Meatless Monday
Cooking this vegetarian dish, Pinakbet with Tofu reminds me of my dad's vegetable garden. Dad, an avid gardener, grew all kinds of vegetables in our backyard. My dad came from a poor family, so gardening for my dad's family was not a hobby to enjoy, but a means to put food on the table. Growing up, I had fond memories of the times he would have me pick some vegetables like tomatoes, green beans, and eggplants, and they would be part of a wonderful meal he himself would cook.

Grilled Sole Fillet with Black Pepper Sauce
The moment it came off the grill, the height of its deliciousness. I was ready, and quickly it was devoured.

Chicken and Vegetable Soup
Add some bones to the soup for a richer taste and more body. The savory flavor you were going for is enhanced by including the bones together with the other ingredients.

Baked Salmon with Lemon and Thyme
My favorite salmon dish baked in the oven. This salmon is so simple to bake that it will quickly become a mainstay on your weekday menu. But I want to provide one crucial piece of advice right away: Instead of cooking the salmon pieces in a baking dish, use a sheet pan. With the former, the fish will cook evenly and avoid having raw centers and dried-out tops since the oven's heat will be able to circulate throughout the fish.

Kangkong (Water Spinach) with Bacon
I was thrilled to see this at the Asian grocery and promptly grabbed it because I was craving a healthy supper choice. This green veggie was a staple of my childhood. In our backyard, my father planted this particular veggie. Cooking oil, garlic, onions, vinegar, and soy sauce are used to sauté it. This is a fantastic main course or side dish. It's a terrific vegetarian recipe even without the bacon, but I decided to add some. A tasty, fresh dish that fulfilled my need.
