Kaldereta sa gata
This recipe is from my dad. Who is half kapampangan and half Ilocano. He's really good in cooking.
I grew up watching him cooked for us our meal everyday and even in all our occassions & gatherings.
Every dishes he made is a sure hit. And it gains so much compliments.
He tought me some of his recipes and some I learned by just watching him.
And now as I become a mother I'm in charge for budgetting and cooking for my own family.
Mostly, during my leisure time (during weekends) I found myself in the kitchen cooking the whole day.
Coz I make it a point that during weekend we can sit down for a meal have a chit-chat while enjoying the home cooked meals I prepared. I always get compliments from my eldest son "Mommy, ang sarap ng luto mo. Thank you mommy" and a kiss of appreciation from hubby.
Simple gesture that means to me a lot. That inspire me to cook for them everyday.
