Filipino Pasta Recipes
Pop into any party and chances are there's a large helping of pasta on everyone's plate. Next to rice and pancit, pasta is no doubt one of the most popular party foods in the Philippines. That's why you'll find it in most Filipino food chains, although it's not considered fast food anywhere else in the world. Yes, it's not exactly part of Filipino cuisine, but we've found ways to make it fit in with our tastes. But if you've been... (posted by Carlo 4 years 139 days ago.)

Filipino Finger Foods
There are few things worse than hosting a party and realizing that you've run out of food to serve. Filipinos are the world's biggest foodies, and in this country, a party isn't a party without a table overflowing with food. And in a place where there are at least three major feasts to host every year, making sure everyone is fed can be a challenge. Often, the problem is that we tend to choose traditional Filipino food recipes that... (posted by Carlo 4 years 150 days ago.)

Filipino Food for Children’s Parties
Ask any parent and they're sure to agree: feeding kids can be a nightmare. It's hard to find a balance between foods that are healthy and foods that they actually like. If you're lucky, your child will have a number of favorite foods and refuse to eat anything else. Each meal is a struggle, and more often than not, it ends up in a tantrum or a food fight (sometimes both). So just imagine the trouble of planning an... (posted by Carlo 4 years 152 days ago.)

Healthy Filipino Food Lunches
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but that doesn't mean it's okay to scrimp on lunch. Whether you're in school or at work, you need that midday meal to keep up your energy for the rest of the day. If, like most students and yuppies, your idea of a regular lunch is soda and crackers, you're a long way from eating right. So what makes a healthy lunch? If you want something that's light but filling, Filipino food... (posted by Carlo 4 years 165 days ago.)

Filipino Food Party Planning
So you're planning a little get-together for your friends, and you've got a mental list of foods to serve and people to invite. If you think planning a party is that simple, you're in for a surprise. For one thing, there's no such thing as a little get-together' when you're in the Philippines. Filipinos love a good party, and they'll go great lengths to have a feast every chance they get.

Quick and Simple All-Filipino Desserts
All Filipinos seem to be born with a sweet tooth, and most of us never really outgrow it. Were never too old for a candy bar or a rich filled doughnut. Thats why desserts have always been a big part of Filipino cuisine. For many of us, a meal isn't a meal without something cold and sweet to top it off. It doesn't matter if your meal consists of rice and dried fish; without dessert, its... (posted by Carlo 4 years 185 days ago.)
