healthy greens..

on a Sunday afternoon after chores had been done and Sunday obligation attended to, it was a perfect time to brew some coffee..then thought of what to eat with it..

this recipe came up because of our craving for the "accidental garlic sauce"..

we used chicken breast which luckily was marinated days ago with garlic and rosemary..one could only imagine the flavors it had..then we had it simmering in a covered pan in its own juice.

the organic lettuce i bought at the LaTOP stall in the La Trinidad Public Market..

the garlic sauce recipe i repeated..

in setting up, we washed and drained the lettuce then tore them into serving pieces, next the cut up chicken pieces are laid out on top then the garlic sauce is drizzled over it..and the outcome is this yummy and healthy salad..perfect pair to an equally perfect cup of brewed coffee!

chicken mami!

as you can see on the date of this picture, it was during the New Year noche buena... the family opted for something different, rather than spaghetti or pancit..it was Chicken Mami!! and its not just your ordinary mami...the soup stock was slow cooked for hours composed of chicken back and pork spareribs with sibut (chinese seasoning), salt and pepper...then the other ingredients were also prepped up..pancit miki, chopped green onions, chicharon, toasted garlic, boiled egg cut into pieces, calamansi...assemble them in a bowl and pour in the soup...yummy!! :D
