Zucchini Floaters

Zucchini Floaters

This is one of my favorites in preparing zucchini, it is flavorful and a definite low carb. What's best about it? It's so EASY to make! You can eat it as it is, as a snack, a side dish, anything!

Snappy cauliflower and broccoli saute

Trying a different saute mix and it came out real good. This is still part of my carb substitute foods.

It was paired with smothered pork chops. That was good!

Pork Roast

Pork Roast

So, being able to stumble upon a great sale day at our local food market here, I just couldn't resist NOT to buy this HUGE pork roast at .89 c/lb, hence, the picture.

I have so many ideas that would go great with the pork roast, but I decided to cook it as simple as that in the picture because I wanted to learn how to cook it perfectly, not overdone.

I am glad I took the risk and went ahead, with just a rub for ingredients, the outcome was awesome! It was juicy, flavorful and tender.

There is a definite encore of this recipe in the future (when all of it is gone).

Ginataang Langka - Jackfruit in Coconut milk

Ginataang Langka - Jack fruit in Coconut milk

March is almost over and I barely cooked anything. Working has taken it's toll on me, and I have been abusing my body with all the frozen prepared foods and eating out. I still am not there, but I am pulling my weight to get back on track. I want to get back on cooking all my meals.

Anyway, I wanted to share one of my favorite foods. We call this, ginataang langka (jack fruit), or jack fruit in coconut milk. I can remember my family gathering around the table, with this at the center, and we have our share of vinegar dips (white vinegar with a dash of salt) and plain rice. The fun and mess we made!

If you like coconut milk, an adventurous palate, I am pretty sure you will enjoy this one.

Sloppy sloppy joes

Sloppy sloppy joes

When I first heard about sloppy joes, and I have seen different variations, I wanted to try it but kept putting it up since I get too tired when I get home. There's the slow cooker version, but I tried this fastest first just to get a glimpse and taste of what it's like.

So here goes my version. I hope you like it as we did.

Low and Slow Baked Pork BBQ Back Ribs

Pork BBQ Back Ribs

Hooray! Hooray, for finally being able to make my very first baked back ribs and successful at it. It was really tender and juicy. The flavor was sweet and a little bite of spiciness.

Here's my recipe and do enjoy!

Okra Salad

Okra Salad

I am going to share with you a recipe that I have grown up eating with. I love the taste of this and how perfect it is to go with dry foods (grilled, fried, you name it).

There are many things that you can do with an okra, and I still have a long way to go in learning the other ways. BUT, this super easy recipe will keep you coming back for more (THAT is if you are fond of something SOUR).

This serves as an appetizer or side dish.
