Pancit is a Filipino dish made with meat, noodles, and veggies and seasoned with soy sauce. My husband’s grandfather on his mom’s side was born and raised in the Philippines and passed his cultural and traditions on to his family, especially through the food! It’s been years since my husband has had homemade pancit and after talking about the dish yesterday we remembered how great my recent Sausage n’ Cabbage Noodle dish was and decided to try using the same method for pancit!

The boys and I made this fast meal on Monday night and it was delicious and easy enough that the evening did not feel as much like hectic Monday’s often can….

Prosciutto Perfection
As many of you know who follow my blog I love to just grab what I have in the fridge and make a meal happen. I don’t like to think too hard unless I have to, especially when it comes to food! Here’s what John and I quickly threw together for lunch yesterday and we both loved it enough to blog about it. The boys also gave their stamp of approval when they devoured the leftovers for an after school snack! Continue reading
The word “mole” translated means a sauce or concoction. Depending on the region, family tradition, or choice of ingredients, mole can be made a million different ways.

Caldo De Pollo
I recently posted about the endless soup options one can come up with from simply boiling down a left over chicken carcass. Besides the chocolate custard that I made for my family on Valentines Day, I also roasted a chicken and the next day came up with this delicious and blog worthy soup. The rain is back in Northern CA and having a warm and subtly spicy chicken soup for leftovers has been comforting and yummy! Continue reading
Chicken Dive In
My mom used to make Chicken Divan when company came over for dinner. It seemed very gourmet at the time because for us it was so different. My mom was a total “health nut” and our normal meals usually consisted of veggie stir fries, big pots of beans or split pea soup and home made whole wheat bread. However; when we had guests she would bust out her Divan with big chunks of chicken and broccoli smothered with a mixture of cream of mushroom soup, mayo, and a touch of curry powder – and of course topped with slabs of melted cheese.

A FUN Salad
One thing I love about eating paleo; as long as you have some protein, veggies and some good fats anything is possible! For lunch yesterday I threw together a salad that was tons more fun than the standard lettuce and chicken. It was a “kitchen sink salad” of sorts, I tossed together everything in the kitchen but the kitchen sink! Continue reading
