In my continuous effort to add veggies to my family’s diet, yesterday’s lunch is Ginataang Sigarilyas with Tinapang Bangus (Winged Bean and Smoked Milkfish in Coconut Milk). This dish is already good eaten by itself, paired with quinoa, or steamed rice because the tinapang bangus (smoked milkfish) gives it a lot of smoky, meaty flavor.
But I know peanutbutterโฅ and Ykaie would not be able to stand eating this alone if it’s not paired with some kind of meat. So I paired this with fried chicken.
Guess what? The fried chicken was well received and were done with in no time. But this veggie dish? Well,ย let’s just say…. there were a lot of leftovers. Of course, I was unhappy. It’s already a tasty vegetable dish, what’s not to like?
This is one of my problems when it comes to vegetables. My family is just not too fond of them. Yes, they eat vegetables but only to a certain extent… and most of the time, there has to be meat — fried chicken, fried liempo, roasted chicken, beef, pork chops…
Today’s lunch is Beef Mechado. The pot is all clean, they were very happy to eat all the carrots and potatoes. How about that?

This is a great unique recipe to try at my home. I love learning about new foods!
This looks so delicious and easy to make. I will have to get the ingredients I need to make some on the weekend.
This looks like something I can pull off. I’m an awful cook! I think everyone would even eat it too! So YAY! And bonus, it’s easy. The easier the better.
I’ve never heard of anything like this before. It sure looks good though. Sounds like I need to try something new!
This sounds like an interesting dish. I wish that my family would eat something that included more veggies and fish. We typically eat more chicken-based dishes.
Delicious and colorful dish, Peachy! I can now introduce a healthy dish to my family and prove that healthy can also mean tasty!
I do like veggies, so I’d want seconds of this. Maybe thirds. ๐ Really nice — thanks.
