Pininyahang Manok (Pineapple Chicken)

I love Sundays, It's usually the day of the week where I love

to have home cook meals.

Something fresh, and I usually prefer Asian food on Sundays,

But that depends... If we had American food on Saturday.

... And since I'm by myself I can cook whatever I want,

Put everything I want on the food I'm cooking.

That's probably only the good thing about being alone.

This dish is one of my favorite Filipino dish, I learned this from my mama.

If you guys haven't noticed I love anything with coconut or anything creamy 

over my rice. ( You can definitely tell I'm asian huh?) 

Anyways.. This dish is good even without rice!

I haven't tried to make this for hubby.

He said it looks good.

Maybe one of these days, I will.

I'll let you know what he thinks!
