My Oxtail & Shank Soup Ritual

Rinse your meat first—soak oxtail and beef shanks in a big bowl of water, dump it when it gets cloudy, and repeat until the water stays clear. Fill a big pot with water. There’s no exact measurement—just trust your gut (and maybe your ancestors whispering in your ear). Drop in the oxtail and shanks, then bring it all to a boil. Skim off the scum that floats up. Once boiling, toss in chopped onions, celery, peppercorns, fish sauce, beef bouillon, and salt. I never measure—just go by taste and intuition. Lower the heat and let it simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours. With about 40 minutes left, add potatoes, sweet potatoes, and carrots. When the meat is tender, throw in cabbage and bok choy for the last 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. Time to eat! Nothing beats homemade comfort food. #filipinocuisine #cookingwithlove #homemaderecipes #Food #Cooking

Grandma’s Kitchen: Rediscovering Pasta Memories

Growing up, I always thought pasta was just a quick meal from a box. But everything changed the day I visited my grandma’s kitchen in the Italian countryside. She greeted me with flour-dusted hands and a warm smile, inviting me to help her make pasta from scratch. The process was slow and messy—kneading dough, rolling it thin, and cutting it into ribbons. But as we worked, she shared stories of her childhood, when food was scarce and every meal was a celebration. That afternoon, I realized homemade pasta isn’t just about food—it’s about love, patience, and family. The taste was richer, the texture more comforting, and the experience unforgettable. Now, whenever I make pasta at home, I feel connected to generations before me. If you’ve never tried making pasta from scratch, I promise it’s worth every minute. Sometimes, the best recipes are the ones that bring us closer to our roots. #HomemadePasta #FamilyTraditions #FoodMemories #CookingWithLove #RediscoveringRoots #Food
