Vietnamese Chicken Pho. I’ll never tire of this recipe. It’s so easy, and it even tastes better the next day.
Baked Wontons with Sichuan Red Oil. After making wontons a few times, it’s no longer intimidating and so easy to whip together. A little bit of shallots, garlic, ginger, green onions, together with lean ground turkey make a simply delicious filling. Then, with that red oil sauce… it’s just divine! Beware though, that sauce is not low calorie. Ben was eating it like soup until he realized, and then he said, “Oh my.”
Filipino Chicken Adobo. It’s the one Filipino dish I make, and the girls love it, especially with egg. I usually make with it chicken breast, but this was mainly for the girls, so drumsticks was the meat I had on hand.

Ben’s been working so many late nights that we only get family dinner about once a week. It’s been like this since the beginning of the year, so I’m looking forward to June when his work schedule is a little more balanced. All of us sitting together at the dinner table is something I cherish, so I can’t wait to have more of that again.
This really makes me want to have pho! And this pregnancy it is really hard for me to know what I want to eat:) I feel your pain about Ben’s work. My husband works a lot these days too and it is far from ideal. That is our choice, we didn’t want to delegate the care of our kids to a daycare or nanny so he is working afternoons and weekend while I come home from work after naps, but even if we are so happy with our choice to raise our babies ourselves, it is hard at times! June is right around the corner, hang in there!
It’s June and today was our last day of school!!! So excited! And so happy for you and your newest babe! Kai is such a sweet name!
Oh my goodness! I LOVE anything adobo! Thanks, Rubyellen!
Hope you like the recipe!
