Famous Chicken Adobo
This chicken adobo recipe is simple to make and loved by all who try it! It has been modified to be a bit saucier than traditional adobo and is delicious served over rice.
Hummus from Scratch
This is a great recipe made from dried garbanzo beans and soy beans. I cook my beans in a pressure cooker for an hour in a half water, half stock solution, but the old 'soak the beans overnight and simmer for two hours' method would also work.
Zesty Lemon Loaf
This dressed-up pound cake-style zesty lemon loaf has a delicate hint of ginger. The decadence of Grand Marnier makes this zesty lemon loaf recipe special. It's great with Earl Grey tea or ice wine.
