Maja Blanca

“Maja Blanca” (Manjar blanco in Spanish meaning white delicacy), also known as coconut pudding, is a Filipino dessert made out of coconut milk. It’s commonly served with corn or ube (Maja Blanca con maiz/ube) during events, holidays, and traditional celebrations. If Jerry Maquire got Renee Zellwegger had her at “ hello”, well then this got me at first “ohmmmm” lol!

Simple Slow Cooker Vegetable Soup

I used to use this recipe for the stovetop and now I use it for the slow cooker. You can use fresh vegetables, which I prefer, but if you are short on time then frozen is just as good. You can serve it with cubed chicken ,cooked noodles, rice, pasta, matzo ball, etc. Or just as is. #mycookbook Enjoy!

Mexican Rubbed Steak w/ Chorizo Potatoes & Mango Habanero Salsa

My family and I are huge steak lovers and we are lovers of Mexican cuisine. So we have tried to meld 2 of our loves together with this Mexican Steak dish. The steak has a Mexican rub with a few more aromatics added to it. It is cooked like a fine dining steak with the butter basting with a few different herbs and spices added to kick up the Mexican flavor of the dish. I added 2 sauces: mango habanero and a chili sauce, and it has chorizo potatoes, chili corn, and a jicama & fennel slaw for the sides. There is a lot of things going on in the plate so the ingredients and steps are quite a bit but the taste makes it all worth it at the end.

Chile Quinoa Corn Salad

Risotto with Chicken, Grilled Corn and Cilantro

My students find this to be a Challenge but rewarding. It is all about temperature control and not over stirring or under stirring. It takes 20-25 minutes....ish for the rice to cook.

Smokey Corn

Country Fried Okra

I love this combo of fried okra, potatoes, and onions. It just feels like home to me. I do recommend cutting potatoes into smaller chunks than shown here, for more even cooking.

Tuna Corn Salad

Winter Staple Corn Soup Chilled for Summer

I've loved this corn soup when I was a child. Since it's easy to make, I often helped out. The powdered cheese gives it's kick, so hold back on the salt. Also for the pepper, white pepper looks better than black. Recipe by *yukimi*

Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie

This is one of my budget meals . I have a few different Versions of chicken pot pie, they are all easy . Some recipes I seen calls to bake the biscuits on top of the filling in the oven, but honestly the bottom of the biscuits are like dough, it’s why I cook them separate . If your not taking pictures of your food like I tend to do lol there’s really no reason for the baking dish , just serve it up...

Hillbilly Taco Soup

Just made something with what I had on hand.

Prawns skewers with Lime and tequila corn salsa

You can get away with using Vodka, white rum or even whiskey instead of tequila. If you don’t want to use alcohol, you can skip it out all together and replace with little more lemon juice.
