1. BLUEBERRY PANCAKES :: Every Saturday is Pancake Day in our house. Usually Sunday, too, for that matter. These were a little special. I ran out of the mix I normally use to make them, so I had to make some from scratch. I happen to see this recipe on the back of my Chobani Vanilla Greek Yogurt package. I only made a couple changes... I added one more egg, used a full cup of milk instead of 1/2 cup (the batter seemed a little thick to me), and no cooking spray (I have a super cool non-stick pan). They were delicious!
2. VEGETABLE SINIGANG :: I kept Nathan home from school one day last week because he was having tummy issues. The only thing he really wanted to eat that day was one of his favorite meals, sinigang. I normally make it the way my husband likes it, with pork short ribs, but the kids and I like it meatless. Would be good with shrimp, too :) It happen to be a gloomy day that day so this nice, warm soup was perfect.
3. BAKED CHICKEN WITH HOMEMADE BBQ SAUCE :: Since we've been married, Mike has whipped up this tangy and easy BBQ sauce. It's basically a combination of whatever condiments we have in our fridge, i.e. ketchup, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, hot sauce, sweet chili sauce, worchestershire sauce, etc... Sometimes when I make it I'll add some orange marmalade. We also had a side of sweet potato fries and Thai Crunch Salad.
4. CHICKEN ADOBO WITH SPICY BEANS :: Mike made one of our family favorites for dinner last night, chicken adobo. He used chicken legs (we've also used boneless chicken thighs) and cooked them with garlic, pepper, equal parts soy sauce and vinegar, and chicken stock. I made a side of Spicy Beans, a recipe I learned from a college friend years ago. Just get some long green beans and saute with chopped garlic, soy sauce and hot sauce. So yum! And of course, can't have adobo without rice.
