Food Trip Friday: Big Seafood Platter

This is a big seafood platter. It costs $24.95 (plus tax). It has the following:

• Frog legs
• Crab cakes
• Fried Shrimp
• Fried Fish
• Fried Clams
• Fried Oysters
• Hush Puppies
• Cocktail Sauce
• Ranch Dressing

I know this is a lot for 1 person. In fact, hubby wasn't able to eat them all!

Food Trip Friday: Eggplant in Garlic Sauce

This is a new dish in our favorite Chinese place. Eggplant cooked in garlic sauce with scallions on the top.

Honestly, this is a new taste to me. I never thought you can cook eggplant this way. Whenever they introduce a new veggie dish, I always try it because I like to order vegetables rather than meat.

This is actually good so I will order this again.

Food Trip Friday: Seafood Platter

An order of deluxe seafood platter at Captain D's.

The platter consist of : 2 classic batter dipped fish fillets, 4 premium breaded shrimp, 2 seafood stuffed crab shells, hush puppies, baked potato and steamed broccoli.

Hubby said it was good except for the bake potato.

Food Trip Friday: Tofu with Vegetables

Tofu is not my favorite but I wanted to order healthy. I often heard how healthy tofu is so I decided to order it instead of the usual pork or beef. This tofu is mixed with fresh vegetables. It was good. This is my food trip for this week.

Food Trip Friday: Ciabatta Rolls

Ciabatta Rolls perfect to pair with spaghetti! Its very easy to make. Just bake it according to its directions.

Food Trip Friday: Skewered Shrimp Dinner

Skewered Shrimp Dinner at Captain D's. Fried okra and steamed broccoli on the side with free dinner roll. This is really good. The shrimp is served over rice which is a plus for me.

Food Trip Friday: Catfish Dinner

This is one of the best fried catfish dinner that I have eaten. Whole fried catfish served with french fries and onion rings with free hush puppies.

FTF: Chicken Stir Fry

This is a chicken stir fry at Shoney's. This is what I ordered for dinner last night. It was a disappointment. I end up hungry because this is not really the best. It is too sour and I didn't like it. Lesson learned, no more stir fry at Shoney's.

Food Trip Friday: Ensaymada

Thanks to a good friend who sent this to me. It is delicious and yes it is from Goldilock's nonetheless!

Thanks Mami Dhemz! Yummy

Food Trip Friday: Pinakbet

It's Christmas Eve in the Philippines. Our family will have a Christmas party. It will be festive. They will exchange gift and have a lot of fun singing, eating and drinking too! Oh how I wish I could bring my American family and witness how our Christmas is. Knowing my mom, I am sure she will be making a lot of Filipino snack items like rice cake, "biko", and a lot more. My brother will surely make chopseuy, menudo and all those famous dishes. My sister will cook spaghetti as requested by the kids and some salad too.... Tell me, who will not be hungry with all the food I mentioned?

Well, for me I will just feast my eyes on this pinakbet below for my food trip. .


From my kitchen to yours... enjoy the festivities and may you all have a Blessed Christmas!

Food Trip Friday: Fruit Tray

This was what we had during Andrea's party. I opt to serve fresh fruits for dessert! The fruits in the tray are: black grapes, purple grapes, kiwi, cantaloupe, and pineapple.

Food Trip Friday: Lobster Tail

Lobster anyone? I would rather have crab legs though! I think this is kinda expensive because each tail costs $4.99. Taste yummy though!

Food Trip Friday: Pumpkin Cheesecake

Mom Lori made this pumpkin cheesecake as one of our desserts during Thanksgiving dinner. It was really good.

This was the first time that I heard about this kind of cheesecake. Here's a closer look of it...

Food Trip Friday: Pancake

Pancake in syrup is one of our favorite breakfast item which we really don't eat during breakfast but mostly dinner. Hubby always prefer to eat them with a lot of syrup. I use less though! These days our favorite is pancake with butter pecan syrup! So yummy!

Food Trip Friday: Fried Catfish

We love fried catfish! Its crunchy and yummy. Very good when dipped in ketchup and paired with french fries.

A good friend of mine made this homemade caramel apple. Too bad I don't like them... it is too sweet for me!

Food Trip Friday: Schlotzsky's Original Sandwich

Schlotzsky's is located far from us but because we went out today, my beloved MIL bought us lunch there so I ordered Schlotzsky's Original Sandwich. This is just so delicious and their sour dough bread is just to die for!

Food Trip Friday: Grilled Trout

Hubby was so sweet to me... he grilled some fish for me because he knows how much I love fish. He grilled trout and I loved it!

How to Grill Trout: Wash the fish and pat dry with paper towel. Season with black seasoning on both sides. Grill until done. Serve.

Note: Make sure to spray some PAM in the grill that way the fish won't stick.
