This morning my daughter and I walked in at JJ Bakery for some pineapple buns and ham & cheese breads. These are among my kids' favorite steals at JJ. So I get it whenever I have the chance to pass-by. It was amazing having breakfast with my 5 y.o. girl while waiting for her preschool afternoon session. The chats were non-stop, and they were filled with girly stuffs I used to do when I was younger. It was nice to reminisce while munching on something you both enjoy.

Pork and Chicken Afritada
Having little picky eaters at home is no fun. I'm mostly stressed planning menus for the week because I would have to consider what they don't eat. Most of the time, I end up modifying menus online according to my kids preference. But since I started cooking more frequently, I noticed the decline on their pickiness. They became more accepting towards new food, and developed positive attitudes towards trying them even before saying no. That is absolutely amazing! Believe it or not, but my girl has learned to eat veggies one day at a time. Her list of veggies are getting longer each week. And my boy has longer lists of favorite dishes in 6 months now. Isn't that wonderful?

Pork & Chicken Adobo
Pork & Chicken Adobo |
This is my version of the Filipino Cuisine, Adobo.
We consider this as a comfort food on cold days since it's best served over freshly steamed rice. They never turn bad. You can store this really long. Just freeze it and thaw as you crave for it. The longer you store this, the better it tastes.
I have served this to my family several times, and has repeated it
quite frequently. I call it my escape on days I was short of time and ideas.
