Beef Shish Kebobs

Who doesn't like barbecue? What about kebobs? I love them both.  I had my first kebob here and the meat was nasty tasting. So it told myself,  " I will learn how to make my own kebos!" Thanks for the recipe that I found. It's very easy to do.

FYI: I don't like mustard so ireplaced honey mustard with Ranch and it taste better to me.

INGREDIENTS:

1 1/2 lb. ground beef
1 shallot,  finely chopped
2 cloves garlic
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp sweet honey mustard
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup breadcrumb
2 zucchinis, cut into chunks
1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes
1 onion, cut into small wedges

HOW TO:

Mix together beef, seasonings, eggs and breadcrumbs and form into 1 inch balls or a size of the cherry tomato. Refrigerate, cover for 2 to 3 hours to firm.  Thread beef onto skewers alternately with zucchini,  onion wedges, and cherry tomatoes. Pre-heat barbecue to medium; cook Kebobs for 10 - 15 minutes,  turning frequently. Serve with your favorite condiment sauce, green salad and garlic bread.  I like mine with steamed rice.

TIP:

Pre-soak the wooden skewers in water to prevent it from burning on the barbecue.

Sugar Cookie Recipe

I have tried this many times and it was good. My husband got me this baking mat with a recipe on it. It has been in my kitchen for more than 2 years now.

If you are lookin for a sweet and chewy sugar cookie, why not try this one?  It's fun and easy.

Home-Made Salted Eggs

Salted egg or itlog na maalat is one of my favorite comfort foods. Just add diced tomato or have it like an apple the way I like it.   Since I moved to the US I've been craving for salted eggs. I never learned how to make them, so I would end up going to Asian stores. I don't like how other Asian countries make their salted eggs. It's not even salty. Sad to say, there's no Philippine made salted eggs to any Asian groceries here. I don't wanna order online, otherwise I'll pay more.

So, for me to save money and my craving, I searched online on how to make salted eggs. Again,  I wasn't satisfied.  It was either too salty or not salty at all.  It was so depressing. So, I ended up using my own technique.  It's simple and everything was from scratch.

I used old container, washed and dried. I washed and placed at least six eggs, added coarse salt about four cups, then I added water enough to cover the eggs.  Cover the jar with a foil before the lid. Then waited for two months, yes two months for my eggs to be salty.  Enjoy your salted eggs. 

An update:  Do not forget to boil your salted eggs like a regular hard boiled eggs.  My friend made this for herself and she told me that her salted eggs were not hard enough, as if they were still raw.  I laughed at her and ask for her pardon, lol, she did not boil the eggs.  My friend thought once after two months, the eggs are hard and ready to serve. 

My Giant Tomato

I grew my very first tomato this year and it's huge, really huge.  It's a handful.  I have so many other tomatoes that are waiting to ripen.
