I've been using Instagram for more than a year now and I myself can't imagine how addicted I've become! I think I can manage to forgo blogging for a day or two or even for a week, but I can't let a day slip without posting a photo in Instagram. :p

I'm not feeling well today and my mind can't seem to formulate a decent food post, so let me just share with you some of the Instagram shots that I took for the past month. Enjoy! :)


To those of you who still haven't, you may follow me @kriskamarie on Instagram and Twitter to see more photos of my day. :)

I've already posted before that buttered veggies with gravy may be a good complement for pork, beef, and fish dishes; and so I'm sharing with you this simple yet delectable recipe of buttered veggies paired with fried cream dory which I cooked for lunch a few weeks back. :)

I've heard raves and read good reviews about Racks and how it has become famous over the years for their ribs, but it was just a few months back when I first got to try it out.  I needed to get something from Mark that time at Fitness First, so he invited me over for lunch.  Since we can't decide where to dine, we opted to dine at Rack's which is just a few steps from the gym. :p

It was already past lunch time but the place was still packed, but we were still lucky to get a table for two.  After rummaging through the menu, Mark and I both decided to try their house specialties. Racks house specialties are served with a choice of garlic or corn bread and two regular side dishes.  Their side dishes are served in hearty portions and are a great complement to their ribs.  Mark got Racks Beef Ribs and chose garlic bread and 2 regular macaroni and cheese.

I can still recall how I drooled over my friend Je's post about Racks broccoli and cheese, so I made sure to get one to go with my Hickory Smoked Chicken.  I love how the broccoli was cooked just right as it still maintained its crunch.  The sweetness of the blanched broccoli was perfect and balanced out the slight saltiness of the creamy cheese as they melt in my mouth.

Since today is the second Sunday of September, all grandparents are again being recognized today, well at least here in the Philippines, as we celebrate the Grandparents' Day. :)


Earlier today, after hearing mass, we went to Tita Tessa's house in Quezon City. She prepared her specialties for our lunch feast.
