Breakfast Sliders

 

As much as we can, We make special breakfast on Sunday's.

It also kind of like a meal prep for me for the week, since every time we 

make something, we make a lot.

The boys loves Breakfast Sausage Sandwich.

I buy the frozen ones of these but sometimes I like to make the Homemade version.

So so good!

This is perfect to freeze and just heat up in the microwave.

Let me know what you guys think!

INGREDIENTS

• Breakfast Sausage patties
• ▢ 12 Hawaiian buns, or other slider buns
• ▢ 8 large eggs, scrambled
• ▢ 6 slices pepper jack cheese

Christmas 2023

Merry Christmas everyone!

How was your Christmas?

 

Ours was a little special because we got to spend it with Family.

I love it when Family get to visit us.

I mean,

One of the favorite reason why we love being here.

Closer to Family.

The Table Decor was somewhat the same as the last year.

Which I love so much.

Maybe next year I will change it up a bit.

Anyways, 

For Appetizer.

My first born is in charge with that.

He made Candy Cane Charcuterie.

..And I thought he did pretty amazing.

IT was gone right away.

Everybody loved it.

I can't help it but add  some Filipino Dish in our Dinner.

Just to honor being a Filipina. 

And  I made my ultimate favorite

Pancit and Air fried Lechon.

RECIPE DOWN HERE

Pancit Bihon

Lechon Kawali

WE made the usual ham

and my favorite Wreath winnies.

SO easy to make!

And this amazing Parmesan Roasted Green beans!

For Dessert I made 

MANGO FLOAT

Another Filipino Favorites.

It's so easy festive so it's the best for Holidays.

I couldn't find the perfect mango for it so I used Peaches. 

My Father in law loved it!!

Also made some Leche Flan,

It's actually my first time making it by itself.

I always make it with the Cake.

And it still turned out as good. 

It was a wonderful Christmas!

I hope you all had a great Holiday.

Cheers!

Christmas Charcuterie Board

 

It's been a while since I made a Charcuterie Board.

So I thought, Christmas would be a perfect time to make it. 

Snacking and drinking with family a Charcuterie Board would be perfect.

..And you can make it as festive as you want. 

I used a cookie cutter to cut the Brie in the middle and it was perfect to put some Jam.

Rosemary is such a perfect touch to it.

Of course, 

EggNog!

Upgraded Instant Ramen

I think I have started an obsession with Instant Ramen.

Not the usual ones,

I like to upgrade it and add more stuff.

It's actually have been fun

and it's good every time.

So so comforting.

Now that it's winter I'm probably gonna be eating this more.

I just use Instant Ramen noodles.

If it's a thicker noodles.

Like it would say Udon noodles I would pick that one.

I cook it the same usual way,

With this one I added Gochujang, just a few tablespoon.

Then I add more Broth. Chicken or Beef whatever you have available.

I like it to be more soupy.

Top with soft boiled egg and green onions, also chili oil sometimes.

I have made it so many times maybe next time I will do the cheesy ones.

Let me know what you guys think!!!

"I don't know the secret to happiness..

But, I tell you what, 

I've never been sad at a Mexican Restaurant."

El Monterrey Mexican Restaurant

 

I can't remember how many times we went to El Monterrey,

And every time.

It doesn't disappoint.

To service, to quality of food.

It's just sooo good.

If you are in town give it a try!

Of course,

Starting off with their amazing margarita.

The corona is just a cherry on top!

We ordered white quezo and guacamole.

It's our first time having their guacamole!

..And its probably gonna be a must every time now.

With me being indecisive...

I gave this Burrito a try.

It's Fajita Burrito.

So it's all Fajita in a Burrito.

Oh, my, god!

SOooo good!

My boy had their Enchilada too, 

And hubby had a Burito.

It was all amazing!!!
