Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend! After this past weekend, I’m re-charged and ready to start the new week! This past weekend was a super productive one with lots of foodie fun in between. To kick off the weekend, my brother and I prepared a special prime rib dinner for our parents. After having them visit and stay with me the past 3+ months, they were ready to head home overseas. It was great to have them with us and already I miss them, Joel even more so. The Baron even misses them I’m sure, since he was my mom’s favorite person to cook for while she was here… and The Baron loved every meal she put in front of him lol.
My brother took charge of the prime rib while we had a few sides and Filipino favorites mixed in, including garlic roasted potatoes, Pancit canton (stir fried noodles), Pork Adobo (soy sauce pork), Sinigang (tamarind beef soup), steamed broccoli. For dessert, I prepared Meyer Lemon Cheesecake bars with a strawberry coulis – recipe coming soon! Overall it was a delicious meal and it was great to have everyone together before my parents left.
That was pretty much the foodie tidbits of my weekend and now with my parents gone, I’ll have to get back into the routine of meal planning, grocery shopping and cooking up meals on a regular basis. I was so spoiled the past few months when my mom insisted to prepare most if not all of our meals. So stay tuned… hopefully I can get back into the kitchen and into my cooking and baking groove…
