    #ADULTINGACCOMPLICE Book Giveaway

    “As we grow older and wiser, we begin to realize what we need and what we need to leave behind. Sometimes there are things in our lives that aren’t meant to stay.

    Easy Homemade Stovetop Pizza Recipe

    My son and I love pizza. But, as much as we love it, buying one is expensive ranging from P300 to P700 for a regular size, hand-tossed pizza crust. Here in the province, there are small stalls selling pizza at a cheaper price but the toppings are limited and most of the time we don’t like the taste. Because of this, we thought of making our own. Below is our Homemade Stovetop Pizza Recipe. **We don’t own an oven, so we just used our favorite frying pan and cooked it on the stovetop. 😉 Ingredients: Bambi Pizza Crust – 10″Del Monte Sweet Style Spaghetti SauceJolly Mushroom (premium sliced)Hotdog (thinly sliced)…

    Sinigang na Bangus Recipe

    One of the easiest dishes to cook, for me, is Sinigang na Bangus. “…it is a Filipino soup or stew characterized by its sour and savoury taste most often associated with tamarind (Filipino: sampalok). It is one of the more popular dishes in Filipino cuisine.” – Wikipedia For this recipe, I used boneless milkfish because it is easier to eat, especially if you have a toddler. You can either have the milkfish deboned in the wet market or buy one in the supermarket. Ingredients: 1 Bangus (Milkfish, Cleaned and Sliced)2 onions sliced3 tomatoes sliced20g pack Knorr Sinigang sa Sampalok Mix Original1 L watera bunch of kangkong (water spinach), separate the leaves from the stalks1 bundle sitaw (string beans)2 sili pangsigang…
