How to Make Quesadillas

Image
Gather all the ingredients, cooked chicken slices, salsa (hot, medium or mild), roast vegetables such as bell peppers, mushrooms, onions or anything you like. I used shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Lay one burrito tortilla on a baking pan, spread the salsa on the bottom, add the chicken slices and vegetables. Add the shredded cheese on top. Put another tortilla on top then bake in a 400° F oven for about 10 minutes or until crispy. Here is the finish product cut into quarts with a pizza cutter, enjoy. It is so easy to make if you have left over chicken. All you have to do is cook the vegetables and put it together. I serve this as a meal or snack too. I think you can also use stove to cook this. However, I think it will be hard to turn it over unless you have a wide spatula to flip it over. It's doable if you don't have oven or toaster oven.

Pork Kabobs

Kabobs or as we call it back home barbecue. My DH call them pork on a stick. I usually cut the pork into a long strips. Like you can see half of the stick is covered with pork strips. I got this idea from the rest stop somewhere between Guagua in Pampanga to Olongapo Zambales (I can't remember the name of the town). They sell these same kabobs. Thick and wide cut, I never liked the one they sells at the street in Olongapo. They were really thin and small. Anyway I marinade this with the mixture of soy sauce, black peppers, powder onions and garlic, and some lemon juice or calamansi (philippine lemon). Or if you don't have any of those I put some 7up in them. Actually that is my secret ingredient...lol. I buy a can or the smallest bottle they have available. And no we don't consume soda. Then you brush your favorite sauce when done. With this ones I used banana ketchup made from Philippines. I like the mix flavor of tangy (pork marinade) and the sweetness of banana ketchup. ...

Lumpia Shanghai, Pansit Canton, & Fruit Salad

Image
Another one from my other blog. Posted while I was pregnant. This craving thing is still going on. Did you know that when you are carrying a boy you tend to eat more than carrying a girl? Yes, its a proven fact. So today, I cooked pansit canton and lumpiang shanghai for lunch. I thought what I made was enough for the 4 of us home. Well, I always cooked too much, now I have to eat it until tomorrow. I'll let you in a little secret, I don't like leftovers; except for cakes and such...he he he. Lumpia mix: pork, shrimp, carrots, onions, and eggs with banana catsup for a dip. Pansit is mixed with pork, carrots, and green beans. And before I forget I had fruit salad for dessert. Pilipino style fruit salad: fruit cocktail, nata de coco, kaong, cream, and evaporated milk. Yummy, hubby likes it too.
