G and I chanced upon a farmer's market on route to San Diego last weekend and decided to make a quick pit stop to check what was available. The outdoor market was reasonably-sized, housing about a dozen or so stalls and a wide array of products from cheeses and cured meats, artisan bread and pastries, jams and preserves, herbs and spices to fresh fruits and vegetables. Much to G's chagrin, our quick pit stop turned to a good hour as I wanted to stop at every stall and poke around. Ha! He should have known better than to let loose a food blogger in a farmer's market.

Ginisang Gulay

I was very pleased with the few things I bought but I have to say, my best loot of the day were the organic Asian vegetables I scored for cheap. Okra, Thai eggplant, long beans, patola and kalabasa that were far crisp and fresh than the ones I usually find at Seafood City and which I quickly turned into a pot of ginisang gulay the next day. Simply sauteed in tomatoes, onions and garlic and flavored with half of pound of shrimps and a splash of fish sauce, this vegetable dish is plain awesome over mounds of steaming hot rice. Enjoy!

    Hi Lalaine,
    Love your website! My family is from Pampanga in a barrio, Margot, Angeles City, next to what was once Clarkfield Air Force Base. We moved to Keywest, FL since 1969 and have not been back since. I learned to cook Filipino foods from my mom’s good friends (Navy wives) and their many, many potlucks. I currently live in Miami, FL, married to an all American guy for 45 years who loves Filipino foods and have since learned to cook his favorites! We both love to cook and I’m always looking for good recipes not just find something new and different but to compare to what I already know.

    I don’t have any children but I work in a busy Trauma ICU and I love to bring food to feed all my adopted “work children “. They call me Momma Terry and the Filipinos call me Tita Terry. Love of good food is our common bond, where there are Filipinos there’s good food! I encourage my young friends to cook for their families or just for themselves instead of fast foods, take outs or spending too much money going out all the time. That is why I’m so happy to land on your website I have somewhere to send them for good recipes and learn good methods, not so intimidating for beginners.

    Looking forward to this gastronomic adventure with you. Thank you for sharing your talent and heart through your recipes.

    Tita Terry

      Almost pareho lang including the vegetables. The difference lang I used fish sauce instead of shrimp paste na ginagamit sa pinakbet 🙂

    I just want to say thank you for sharing us your recipes. I may may not be able to use all the recipes now for my household, reading the recipes and looking at the pictures of the finished product makes me happy. It's kinda therapeutic.
