Filipino BBQ Night

 

It has been so cold!

So cold that its impossible to do anything outside.

But,

Before that

I'm so glad we got to grill!

I miss these so bad!

The frozen version of Filipino BBQ is starting to get ridiculously expensive

So we decided to make homemade one.

This is so easy.

Key is marinate it 1 day is suggested but you can probably get away with few hours of marinating it.

FIRST.

You chopped Pork bite sized,

IT doesn't matter what kind of Pork,

Pork butt, Pork loin

A little fat is not bad.

We marinated it with 

Soysauce

Sprite (or any lime soda)

Garlic (lots of it)

So sauce

seasoning of your choice.

You literally can put anything you want.

Cover and put in the fridge until ready to put in skewer,

Which is probably the only hard part making this

But oh so worth it.

Perfect!

Ready to grill!!!

I wanted some Seafood too so hubby grilled us a Tilapia.

Sooo Perfect!

One of the Best weekend!

How was yours????

Arugula Toast

 

Most days during the week,

I like to make something for. Breakfast for lunch 

Toasts is always my go to.

If we have Arugula its so perfect.

This was pretty easy,

You can spread any spreadable cheese, Cream cheese or mayonnaise

Arugula

and my favorite Soft boiled egg.

Of course, almost forgot

 Chili oil and Siriacha mayo.

Perfection.

What is your favorite toast?

Spam Rice Bowl

 

During the week, 

I like making something easy but oh so good. 

These kind of bowls or plates is so amazing because its so easy 

to make and you can literally put anything you want. 

The Spam is diced and cooked in the pan until browned.

You can put soy sauce, brown sugar or any seasoning you'd like.

For mine.

I added some Tereyaki sauce and seasoning to it until it was cooked. 

Served with White rice and of course,

Perfectly cooked Runny Eggs.

You guys 

I am obsessed!!

I can eat this EVERYDAY!!!

What you guys think?!?!

Have a great week!!

Cheesy Ramen

 

Okay a little confession, 

I have been obsessed with Ramen these days,

Not your typical Ramen!

But the ones you make extra,

Which is pretty much me. haha!

Anyways,

It has been fun to keep changing it up to my cravings,

Most days I crave for soupy ones,

But for this one

I was craving for Cheesy ones,

It is very easy!

You just need your typical 

Ramen pack,

With this one,

I cooked it as as usual..

Then on last minute I added bunch of cheeses on top to melt,

Parmesan cheese and Mozzarella cheese are the best.

That is it and then let it melt and serve!

Of course 

Add any topping of your choice.

This one had Dumplings an Soft boiled eggs.

To get that perfect eggs,

Cook them for exactly 6 minutes boiling and rest in cold water before peeling.

Very easy!

It was a Pizza night,

With me being Asian I needed something else,

Soup, creamy, something else. 

It was perfect!!

Have a good weekend.

Winter Wonderland

 

If there's anything I don't like,

It's being cold.

We didn't get that much Snow last year.

But, today we are getting a lot and the temperature is

really bad.

But anyways,

The first Snow days was special.

Especially if you don't need to go anywhere.

The best thing to do is have some Hot chocolate and

Enjoy the wonderful view.

So beautiful.

The boys got to play a little bit before it gotten miserably cold.

I think they had a blast.

Do you guys like Snow?

Stay warm!

Hey Bear Sensory Birthday Party

 

My baby is 2 :(

It's such a bittersweet feeling.

Feels like it was just yesterday when I had him.

It has been the best 2 years of my life.

He is the best Rainbow baby.

We are so obsessed with him and he never fails to make our day

when we need it.

For his Birthday party.

We kinda just decided on which one he likes the most.

Since he can't pick yet.

He is obsessed with Heybear Sensory videos.

I swear he even dance with them.

So we decided this is it.

So I got all of the party stuff from amazon

..And we just kinda did it it all and decided how it would end ourselves.

To tell you guys,

We did not have visitors or anything.

IT IS JUST US.

for me,

I do not care of anyone came.

with his age he doesn't have any friends yet.

and to be honest.

I just want to focus on him and just him.

AND it was so perfect.

Hubby did amazing with the Balloons!

We definitely worked hard together for this and it was so worth it!

I would love to keep this decor for a week or two!

We did everything very simple

so the cake was from Walmart. 

You guys this was about $25 

If you order a costumize ones from a bakery or someone that makes cakes.

We usually spend $70 or more.

Not having a big party, this cake was just for us it was perfect!

I get it they have to charge more for costomize ones but it was starting to be absolutely ridiculous.

Anyways,

This is just PERFECT.

Little man had a blast!

Us too, 

Watching him smile and giggle, dance and just having the best

day is so priceless.

New Year's Eve 2024

 

Happy 2024 Everyone!

It's so crazy that a New year is here,

Time is going way too fast.

We celebrated another year at home.

It's better that way and safer too.

Kids doesn't usually stay up til the midnight anyways.

I love our New year's eve decoration this year.

Almost the same as last year with little new stuff.

So festive.

I love it.

New year's eve cupcakes from Hy vee

Of course, 

Can't forget the traditional fruit platter.

As a Filipino this is a must.

The dessert table.

I didn't have that much time to make new Desserts this year.

We still had so many leftovers from Christmas,

So we just got the ready ones.

Cheers!

Appetizer were Crab dip and Cheeseburger sliders that is mostly for the kids.

They love it.

And this Steak Crostini that is oh my so good!

Hubby cooked the Steak on a iron skillet and it was perfectly cooked.

Of course,

Deviled eggs.

We make these every Holiday.

For the main dish Seafood Pasta.

I have been wanting to make homemade version of this

AND it was so AMAZING.

Hubby did really good with this one.

It may not be freshest seafood like the ones I had in Italy.

But the flavor was on point.

The seafood was good too!

Lots of Lemon and Parmesan on the top.

SO good!

We just hang out watched countdown on the Tv 

and played some games.

It was a relaxing New year's eve at home.

I hope you all had a good one!

Cheers to 2024!
