Roasted Eggplant Caponata Bacon Provolone Panini Sandwich
I can’t believe how good this sandwich came out since I did not add mayonnaise. Nice and satisfying. Sometimes simple sandwiches is better especially when you can taste all the flavors from eggplant, red peppers, onions, pine nuts, bacon, and provolone.

Honey Vanilla Fromage Blanc
OMG!!! what a wonderful light, not too sweet and very flavorful creamy dessert. The raspberry sauce was to die for and plenty of leftovers for the next couple of days.

Roasted Eggplant Caponata
Excellent flavours, simple ingredients that bring different layers of complex texture. The sourness of the vinegar is balanced by the sweetness of onions along with the spiciness of red pepper flakes to come through. Simply a healthy appetizer. This recipe is quick and easy.

Caesar-Roasted Fish
I told mom that Ina would be shaking her head if she saw my fish presentation so please forgive me. I should have filet the fish or thinner steak. This is not the best food presentation but the fish, OMG!!!! this fish is amazing and can’t wait to prepare for my sister and brother-in-law. Mom really enjoyed it especially the Caesar sauce. I am already thinking of another fish that I can use to prepare…

Spaghetti with Truffle Oil
The combination of sweet onions, garlic, rosemary, eggs, parmesan cheese and white truffle oil made it so creamy that I did not have to use heavy cream. This was so good and sad that I only made a small amount. As usual I inhaled my food. I never learn to eat slow and savor every single bite.

Garlic Beef with Asparagus
Stir-fried dishes can be meat dishes, vegetable dishes, or meat and vegetable mixtures. Tender meat should be coated with a thin paste of cornstarch, fry it in oil slightly, then remove it. In most cases flavoring are added in the course of stir-frying, but in some cases, the major ingredients are preserved and their flavors fixed before they are stir-fried.

Chicken Corn Chowder
I continue to try to convince mom not to purchase pre-cooked food since the sodium content is high. Even my sister is encouraging her to use my cooking skills to prepare any type of food she would like to have. As mom was ready to grab a container of chicken corn chowder I mentioned to mom that I can prepare chowder and it will be lower in sodium content. Here is a quick and easy way to prepare Chicken Corn Chowder.

Grilled Bacon, Apple and Smoked Gouda Sandwich
Preheat panini grill. Assemble this sandwich just as you would a traditional grilled cheese sandwich: 1 slice of Pain Pascal, then top with 2 slices of smoked aged gouda, 2 pieces of bacon, the apple slices, then 2 more slices of smoked aged gouda, finishing with another slice of bread.

Baked Shrimp Scampi
I’m taking a different approach and that is by keeping the head which is full of delicious flavors that will make the sauce richer if there is such a word. In fact I was even thinking that Anthony Bourdain and Andrew Zimmer will prepare the dish this way. Ina carefully butterflies the prawns keeping the tail intact while I removed the tail and kept the head intact.

Vegetable Spring Roll – Three Thai Cuisine
The food is super fresh and loved the peanut sauce with my vegetable spring rolls. Service is excellent. I’ve tried some other dishes and it’s been excellent especially fish with coconut curry sauce. I want lick the plate because it’s so good.

Guacamole
Simple to make and the contrast of the red and green colors of Mexican flag looks good. The layers of flavor and texture from smooth silky avocado, crunchy red onions, fiery jalapeno and essence of lime and cilantro.

Salmon Steak with Orange-Balsamic Glaze
Another way to prepare salmon and using panini press to grill salmon. This was simply delicious…fresh fish and marinade reduction was a hit.
