Happy end of October, Hivers! Today is also the last working day before Halloween and All Saints' Day. Fortunately, I was scheduled for a remote work so I had more time to do some chores at home. Today's feature are my two home cooked meals I prepared for my family.

Eggplant Salad

This dish is one of the easiest to prepare but also one of my best sellers at home. My mom would always request my eggplant salad when i have time to cook for them.

I was surprised to see the different shapes of the eggplant since the most common shape is just long and narrow. As it turned out, these eggplants are organic which were given by our eggs supplier.

I then boiled them for about 10 minutes, just enough for the color to go brown, let it cool down, and removed the peeling. I also added chopped tomatoes and onions to my eggplant salad. For the dressing, I only used a spoonful of vinegar and salt to taste.

Bitter Melon and egg

For the main dish, I cooked a hearty sautéed bitter melon and egg. This dish is quite common in Filipino meals since its quick to prepare and you'll only need two main ingredients- Bitter melon and egg.

On most days, we just order our food because everyone is busy and no one has the time to make dinner. I realized that home cooked meals truly taste different, more special. These meals are made of love and premium ingredients. To me these are more pricey compared to what we order in restaurants. this is your friendly reminder to practice cooking more at home too.

That's it for today's blog. I'm excited to spend time with my family this long weekend. I hope you'll enjoy the weekend ahead.

Till my next adventure!

Sending some love and light

Love, Jane
