Avocado and Ham Salad
This time around it’s my turn to make the avocados. It’s a simple salad that I used to enjoy a lot when I was younger. If my parents bought avocados, we would usually serve it in two ways; stuffed with small shrimps or in a salad with crabmeat. This time I decided to try with ham. I had a couple of slices that I bought in Tinderbox left in the refrigerator and I wondered if it would be good with the avocados. It was.
Chicken Piccata
Another chef I like to follow on the food network channel is Giada De Laurentiis. With her Italian origins, she makes interesting and delicious dishes that suit our family taste well. Most of her recipes are quite simple and very easy to make, which is a big plus for me. The first recipe of Giada’s that I decided to post is Chicken Piccata. I made this for dinner tonight and served it with a simple salad on the side. I loved the flavors of this dish coming from the lemon and capers. Slightly sour but very very good. After researching online, I learned that traditional chicken piccata has white wine in it. I wished I knew that earlier because I think it would have made the dish even better. Oh well, there’s always a next time.
Deep Fried Fish with a Lemon Twist
It’s very rare for my dad to cook fish because he doesn’t eat much of it. The kind of fish he likes are salmon, trout, sardines, anchovies, and bolinao (it’s a small fish; I’m not quite sure what it’s otherwise called). But yeah, that’s about it.
