Last night I also cooked this for tonight’s dinner. It’s a staple Filipino dish but taken up a notch...Meatball Adobo. I made the meatballs separately using 1 lb grass-fed ground angus beef and 1 lb ground pork simply seasoned with with kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and Adobo Seasoning spice. Brown the meat until slightly cooked. Then set aside. For the adobo sauce, cooked separately, I used Filipino brands soy sauce and vinegar measured to taste, mashed garlic, bay leaves, whole black pepper, turmeric, annatto powder and a little bit of bone broth and water. Simmered until slightly thickened. Combined the meatballs with the sauce and simmer for a few more minutes until the meat is thoroughly cooked. Let the meatballs soak in all that saucy goodness before serving. #KainPoTayo ©#TheCookingApprentice #filipinofoodlove #pinoyfoodie #instafood #foodie #foodphotographyph #foodieinfluencerph #eatpilipinas #foodstyling #whattoeatph #foodgrammerph #lutongbahay #kusinera #filipinofood #homecooking #pinoyfood #adobongmeatballs #adobo #meatballs #flexitariansplurge #flexitarian #ouradobo

What better way to start off your day with freshly home baked baguettes? I came across this Basic French Baguette recipe from #thehomemadeveganpantry cookbook. The technique of developing the no-knead method originated from #JimLahey. Lahey discovered that all you have to do was simply mix the dough, then set it aside for many hours to let the gluten develop itself. So I tried it for myself by letting the dough do its thing for about 24 hours. As an amateur baker, believe me when I tell you that these baguettes turned out beautifully! The recipe is on my blog... ©#TheCookingApprentice #cookbookauthor #cleanfood #baking #baguettes #inmykitchen #foodiefeature #eeeeeats #breakfast #lunch #dinner #sammich #nomnom #foodblogger #foodies #lutongbahay #homemade #homecook #homebaked #foodblogeats #foodgram #healthyfood #tastethisnext #flexitarian

Coming all the way from my cousin in #Saipan was a wonderful care package of boxed chocolates (which we happily devoured not long after the package arrived 😆)and a medley of dried fish and squid which I cooked in the air fryer. I also made a spicy vinegar dipping sauce and garlic fried rice to go alongside it... ©#TheCookingApprentice #pinoyfood #filipinofood #foodporn #pinoy #foodie #foodstagram #foodphotography #filipinofoodmovement #whattoeatph #yummy #foodgasm #asianfood #homecooked #pinoycuisine #food #casualdining #foodgram #filipinocuisine #love #livelifewithflavour #lovelocal #localcuisine #pescatarian #thefoodiestation #tasteofhome

A little over 8/9 years ago my journalist son, after his first earnings from a part-time job, gave us this waffle maker for Christmas...#stillgoingstrong ©#TheCookingApprentice #breakfast #waffles #foodie #picoftheday #foodporn #amazing #foodgasm #sinful #bestthingever #nomnomnom #instagood #food #wafflemaker #eatingfortheinsta #hungry
