Southern Spicy Fried Chicken

This spicy fried chicken recipe is finger-licking good! It's a keeper and a must-try.

Melon Ice Candy

A frozen treat filled with shredded cantaloupe and milk, melon ice candy makes a great treat on a hot summer day! Typically stored in long, thin plastic bags, this is probably the closest Filipino equivalent to the American Otter Pop (but could also be placed in molds as well).

Apple Cobbler Crisp

This apple cobbler crisp is a cross between an apple crisp and an apple cobbler — I wasn't really sure what to call it. I cut out a lot of ingredients in an attempt to make it healthier.

Easy Garlic and Rosemary Chicken

This rosemary chicken recipe is a simple, flavorful baked chicken, specially created for my husband! This is great served with rice.

Roasted Duck

Roasted duck is a nice change from traditional turkey at Thanksgiving. I made this out of the blue one year, served it with all the usual side dishes, and my whole family — who had never eaten duck before — enjoyed it.
