Grilled Pork Shoulder Butt Steaks

I could not cook a whole pork shoulder butt roast for only the two of us so I cut the full roast in three. Then I wrapped each one and froze them. I took one package of the roast from the freezer and let it thaw but I did not feel like roasting it becauseContinue reading “Grilled Pork Shoulder Butt Steaks”

Super Quick Chicken Enchilada Casserole

This is another one of those times I had to scratch my head for what to fix for dinner. We had some leftover fried chicken from the night before but I didn’t like to eat that leftover tonight so I thought of taking the breading out of the chicken and use the chicken meat forContinue reading “Super Quick Chicken Enchilada Casserole”

Beef Fajitas

Fajitas is a popular dish at Mexican restaurants all over Texas and perhaps other states too. It is my husband’s favorite dish to order everytime we go to Mexican restaurants and then he compares whose is better. I don’t ever see him order something different other than fajitas. Fajita is the beef’s “skirt” similar toContinue reading “Beef Fajitas”

Smothered Beef in Gravy

This is about the same as steak fingers except you let the meat simmer and tenderize in the milk gravy after browning them a little. The meat is pan-fried so you use just a little oil. This is a popular Southern dish. Procedure:

Stuffed Bell Peppers

(A “Filipinized” version) I was kind of hungry for stuffed bell pepper and it just so happened the bell peppers were on sale so I bought a few thinking to cut them up and freeze them to use later but decided to use some for the stuffed peppers.

They are so huge I thought they would be good bacon wrapped and grilled like jalapeno poppers. It just so happened I had someContinue reading “Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers”

Pork Ribs-Grilled

I’ve tried different ways of cooking or grilling pork ribs through the years. All of them were good.

It was our favorite but later I wanted it cooked to tenderness that theContinue reading “Pork Ribs-Grilled”

Adobong Pula or Adobong Tuyo

(Red Adobo, Dry Adobo or Adobo Seca) This dish is not much different from the regular adobo in taste except it is dry and it has no soy sauce in it but it has coloring from achuete or annato seeds extract. After I made it and when I ate it, I liked this kind ofContinue reading “Adobong Pula or Adobong Tuyo”

Chicken Nuggets

I used the same batter as for making butterfly shrimp. It was an experiment to see if I can get a good result and it was a success. The chicken pieces came crisp but light and were delicious. This can be eaten as is with sides like coleslaw and fries as in an American mealContinue reading “Chicken Nuggets”

Therefore, you can’t omit or substitute those main ingredients and call the dish moo goo gai pan. You can, however use any kind of vegetables you likeContinue reading “Moo Goo Gai Pan”
