Anyways...I've been having random eats lately. --
Mini penne pasta with spinach, garlic, tomato mix
I used two large tomatoes and cooked those up with a few garlic cloves, then added some frozen spinach I had in the freezer. You can add this with any kind of pasta. It a fast ease "go-to" meal.
lumpia, rice, lechon with liver sauce, Filipino style spaghetti, grilled hotdog on a stick
This one is actually from my friend's daughters 1st birthday. It was a rather big celebration with a few Filipino traditions. The delicious lechon and crispy skin. Oh yeah... there was rice, too.
I did have seconds as they also had some sisig and Filipino bbq on a stick. Must not forget to mention the birthday cake. No birthday is complete without the cake, right?
Chinese Chicken Salad from Joan's on Third
I love this place. Located several blocks from the Beverly Center in Los Angeles. This place serves up quality food that would make you come back. My favorite item on the menu is this salad. Fresh, filling and delicious. It's a great place to chill in the afternoon. It's always packed. Not once when I have gone that there was a lull moment. It was a nice break from an afternoon of doing production stuff.
I also love their cupcakes, which I had for dessert. A nice vanilla cupcake. Yum!!
Ground beef mix with potato, onion, red bell pepper
For the life of me, I can't remember the name of this one. But I have my mom to thank to cooking it up. It's slightly Filipino in cooking style and very reminiscent to potato hash in some ways. You generaly eat this with rice, but we decided to go with the lettuce wrap route.
Mmmmmm...
Well...hopefully after this weekend I'll be able to get back into the swing of blogging. I actually miss putting up my daily posts. It's like I'm going through some withdrawal. Hahaha... But I'll be back. And I can't wait to share with you all my new project. I'm excited!

Happy to hear that despite being so busy, you still have time to eat well! Loving (and craving) a real Filipino birthday party platter - was the cake mocha by any chance? Mocha cake w/buttercream frosting is th cake to have according to this Pinay's bday! 8-)
Good luck with your project!
Your food looks good. The ground beef/potato dish sounds great! And I love that you made lettuce wraps!

Best of luck with your project. Sounds exciting! And, this reminds me, I've been meaning to make Chinese chicken salad.
Good luck on your new project! Man, I really need to find a place with Filipino food around here, it all sounds so good!
Good luck with your project and the food looks awesome too!
Mmmmm...I want that platter of Filipino food (especially the lumpia and lechon with liver sauce!)
Good luck on your shoot!
Glad you're alive! haven't had that ground beef & potato dish in forever. I remember liking it more as I got older. I too have been getting back into blogging. It's been tough with so much stuff going on this summer but that's what summer's all about right?
I've been missing you Jenn! Best of luck with your project. It's so nice to hear you excited...and being fed well! :D
Delicious eats! I wish you the best with your project! Make sure to let us know how it goes.
It's nice that you're still blogging although you are so busy. Pasta is always a great meal when you don't have enough time or energy. I love that you add spinach in it. good idea!
Wish you luck with your project!

Everything looks delicious, especially the lechon :)I'd love to guide Foodista readers to your blog Jen.Just add the foodista widget to the end of this post and it's all set, Thanks!
Glad you mentioned Joan's on Third. Great food there, including those pickles!!!!
I LOVE Joan's! I tried to get a job there because i wanted to be around all that good food, ut they had no cooking positions available and I was perhaps "over qualified" to work the counter.
I can't wait to hear about your newest endeavor!!! That Filipino plate looks awesome =)
