Hotdogs wrapped with crescent rolls!

You probably wonder is it really easy to make the crescent rolls? It is, but just the waiting for the dough to rise is the hard part. :-). In the the West, particularly in the US, you can just buy the dough in the grocery store and ready to bake. The crescent  dough was made by Pillsbury. Unfortunately here in the Philippines it’s very hard to get any Pillsbury product. Since me and my family are into crescent rolls. I have to do some researching on the net for a good recipe. I found one that I tried and it’s good.

Delicious Homemade Biscuits!

My family really likes eating biscuits. As you know living here in the Philippines we don’t have those Pillsbury frozen products on our supermarkets here like what the supermarket in the West have. If they have here it’s just so limited. So to keep up with some food that my family are kind of used to when we lived in the States. With the net nowadays I can cook anything even with the ingredients in the Philippines sometimes are limited, still I can cook it. Lol

Since Thanksgiving is coming up soon in the States, I am gearing up for the feast. Ever since living back here in the Philippines we do celebrate every year. We just celebrate on a different day (Saturday) since no holidays for the the kids here on the Thanksgiving day Thursday.

I’ve been cooking some food that usually had squash ingredients with it. Trying really some new stuff too on Thanksgiving day. We found this recipe on the net for cookies and been cooking for  a few years now with this recipe. The main ingredients was the pumpkin. Well since we don’t have pumpkin here in Philippines I substituted it with squash. Some stores carry nowadays but it’s not often though. Quite honestly, I can’t even tell the difference between the two. It just taste like pumpkin to me. Everybody in the house loves the squash cookies. Really yummy.

  • 1 cup homemade squash puree
  • 1 large egg

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

  3. Combine the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a bowl.
  4. Beat sugar and butter in a large mixing bowl until well combined. Beat the squashed, egg and vanilla until smooth. Slowly beat in the flour mixture.

The Mindanao bomb: (stuffed onions wrapped with bacon)!

The recipe that I’m sharing here right now, it all started when I saw at the FB wall of our friend Brent Finger. When I saw the pictures, it’s just a mouth watering recipe. Bob saw it too and he told me that “Hon, can you make that recipe, we should try it, it really looks delicious”. Lol. We did try it and it’s really a yummy recipe. You will not be embarrass to recommend to your friends. 🙂

Next time that I will cook this recipe, I will try to make it with ground chicken and I will also try to double the layer of the onions to wrap the meatballs.

***If you want to try other meatball recipe that you want to try to put inside the onions. Try to make it and feel free to post here too of the results. Have fun cooking!***

Here’s the recipe: (I made some changes with the original recipe that was posted)

Ingredients:

  • 1 kilo ground beef (can be ground pork or ground chicken or you can mix them)
  • 1 cup bread crumbs ( I add more if the meat mixture tends to be too moist)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3/4 BBQ sauce (homemade or store bought bbq sauce)
  • 2 teaspoon salt or more
  • 2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 medium onions (cut into cubes)
  • yellow onions – medium to large (large in the PI can be medium somewhere)
  • 400 grams package of bacon (we used Virginia brand here in the PI)
  • More BBQ sauce to brush the outside of the bacon stuffed onion wrapped

Procedures: (Preheat oven to 425 °F)

  1. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients (ground meat, bread crumbs, egg, milk, bbq sauce, salt, black pepper, garlic powder and cube onions)and mix it thoroughly. Use your hands to mix it. Eyeball the wetness of the meatball mix.
  2. Prepare your onions: Cut the top and bottom of the onion, peel the skin, cut the sides of the onion from top to bottom. Separate the onions into layers. Use the outside layer or all of the layers from the first layer down to the smaller one.
  3. Start stuffing the onions with your meatball mix between two onion layers (it’s round like a size of a baseball).
  4. Wrap each ball with 2-3 slices of bacon and secure it with toothpicks.
  5. Bake in a baking dish with sides (to catch grease) or bake in a cookie sheets with wire rack.
  6. Bake the meatballs for 425 °F/220°C  for approx 40 minutes or until internal temperature reach 165°C.
  7. Brush or dip the meatballs with the BBQ sauce and bake again for an additional 10-15 minutes!

My simple style of making Pulled Pork Sandwich!

Awhile back I posted a picture on our other site a picture the pulled pork sandwich that I made. I’ve had some request of the recipe. Really it’s a complicated recipe to make. For the barbecue sauce Bob likes to make his own sauce. Whatever he feels like putting. To be honest almost always it turned out pretty good. Their’s just some ingredients that it’s not good for him.

You can make your own barbecue sauce or you can buy imported brand, like KC masterpiece, Jack Daniels Hickory BBQ Sauce, Weber BBQ Sauce, Cattleman’s Kansas BBQ Sauce and many more.

Pulled Pork Recipe: (Using the ingredients that’s available here in the Philippines)

***I just bought a good size 3 kilos of pork shoulder (called Kasim in the Philippine market, kasim is really good for roasting). Preferably for us the dark meat.***

### I did try to cook pulled pork on the crock pot/slow cooker and it’s good too. ###

Ingredients:

  • 2 to 3 kilos pork shoulder
  • 2 tablespoon sea salt/kosher/iodized salt
  • 2-3 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon dry mustard (try also the French’s Yellow Mustard or McCormick Mustard brand)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • Hamburger bun

Procedures: (You can buy bbq sauce at the grocery store, available imported or local brand)

  1. Mix all the ingredients well in a bowl. Rub all the ingredients to the meat. Cover with cling wrap and refrigerate for an hour or better overnight.
  2. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  3. Put the meat in a roasting pan when you are ready to cook the meat. Roast the meat for 6-7 hours. Really you roast the meat until it’s falling apart.
  4. When the meat is done, take it out of the oven and transfer the meat to a large platter. Let the meat rest for 10 minutes or so.
  5. While the meat is still warm, pull the meat apart. Using 2 forks to shred.
  6. Put the shredded meat in a bowl and pour any of your favorite barbecue sauce. You can buy now at any grocery store here in the Philippines. It can be imported brand or the local brand. Stir it all up well so that the pork is well coated with the sauce.
  7. To serve, spoon the pulled meat mixture onto the bottom half of each bun, and you can top it with cheese and onions rings. Enjoy!!!
