Chicken Adobo, Bacon and LaBatt Blue

I had a craving for Filipino food, so I made chicken adobo, bacon and LaBatt Blue.

#kvpkitchen Made chicken adobo with bacon, hominy and @labattusa Blue. ???? My kid cut up green onions as a garnish. We served it over white rice. NOM! #kvpinmybelly #adobo #chicken #rice #bacon #filipino #filipinofood

I love the salty combination of bacon, soy sauce, and patis. I also added hominy.

Cooking for Comfort

I found myself cooking for comfort. A few weeks ago, I had a break from (temporary) single parenting when my husband was on the other side of the country for a death in the family.

My kid was out of the house for movie night with new and old friends.

When I had the house to myself, I cooked for comfort. I made a creamy, spice sauce of gochujang, garlic, butter and heavy cream. I added spinach, corn and cheese tortellini. Mixing up all this ingredients made eased my aching heart. Cooking helped me feel better after spending a week of worrying and juggling teaching, writing and taking care of my kid. He just wanted to know what happened to his daddy.

I loved our Lunar New Year dinner at Shaanxi Garden in Mesa.

The handmade biang biang noodles were huge and extra chewy. I ordered the noodles with lamb soup. The broth perked up when I added chili sauce. My husband ordered dipping noodles with a fantastic vinegar sauce.

My kid enjoyed juicy xiao long bao and pork and shrimp shumai.
