I hate that the only things my two little ones will eat are the sugary foods.
So I outsmarted them.
They love Trix. I love Kix. Guess what? They're the same shape. Kix is easily disguised within the confines of a milky bowl filled halfway with Trix.
They never know the difference.
Ha! I'm smart.
Here's to healthy eating!!! Halfway.

Here is a link to my etsy store, if you would like to see more of my creations :)

Adobo Recipe - Yummy!
Remember the last post, about cleaning your iron? Yeahhhh, this is what you can use the leftover vinegar for. Heheheh kidding. PLEASE DON'T DO THAT. EW. GROSS.
And, nope. No pics. But let me tell you. I've been cooking forever (I'm 32. Or 34. Crap. I lie about it so much, I actually have to do the math. I was born in 1979. There.), and no matter what I do, I can never get it right. Hmmm, I wonder if it's because I don't measure. I hate measuring. And anything requiring more than 5 ingredients. And kneading dough. I hate kneading dough. Anyway, my sister-in-law shared the best best best recipe for adobo that I've ever tried. She actually calls it yummy adobo. So I hope you don't mess this up.
Ingredients:
- Chicken or pork (For chicken, I use bone-in thighs or legs, and shred all the chicken off for the spoiled people in my family) (For pork, I use the country-style or whatever you like. Doesn't matter)
- 1 head of garlic (Not 1 clove, 1 entire head of garlic)
- 1 ladle kikkoman soy sauce (slightly less if you're using the asian kind)
- 1 ladle vinegar (I use datu puti. I wouldn't recommend distilled vinegar)
- 1 ladle water
- Sugar, to taste (I use white, but brown is ok, too)
- Bay leaves (optional)
- Ground black pepper (Unless you like watching your kids and husband cringe after biting into the peppercorn kind. Then they spend the rest of the meal hunting through the meat and rice for those dreaded little balls. I use peppercorns if my kids and husband pissed me off that day. It's fun)
This list of ingredients passes my 5 ingredient limit, but that's ok, because I always have vinegar and soy sauce on hand.
Note: Sometimes I double the soy sauce, vinegar, water, sugar because I use lots of meat. I guess it depends on how saucy you like your food. I like my food to drown.
Step 1: Sautee garlic in oil.
Step 2: Add meat and brown.
Step 3: Turn on the fan, and hate yourself for showering before cooking, because you now smell like oil and meat and garlic.
Step 4: Add vinegar, soy sauce, water, and sugar. Oh, if you wanted bay leaves, add it now, too.
Step 5: Simmer til meat is tender.
Step 6: Stir it up and taste the sauce. Add more sugar, if it's too sour for you.
Step 7: Serve over white rice.
Step 8: Take a picture for instagram.
There. That's the recipe. Enjoy!

How to Clean a Gunky Iron
I have pictures of this process, but I don't know where they went.
Step 1: Make your iron dirty.
Step 2: Mix 1 part vinegar to 1 part water. Put it in a spray bottle. Or not.
Step 3: Drench a paper towel with the mixture and slap it onto the iron (The flat side, duh). Put the iron on a folded towel to catch spills. Save the vinegar/water mixture for recipe I'm going to post tomorrow. Just kidding. Save it for step 6.
Step 4: Stand there and stare at it for about 30 seconds, peel back the paper towel to see if it worked, call me stupid and a liar, put the paper towel back and go back to the computer to follow my instructions.
Step 5: Set timer for 5 minutes.
Step 6: Re-drench same paper towel in vinegar mixture. If it's in a spray bottle, spray the paper towel while it's on the iron. Repeat Steps 5 & 6 for 30 minutes. Basically, keep the paper towel wet.
Step 7: Using a wrung out wet sponge, Place 1 drop of dawn dish soap on the scrubber side (I prefer the blue sponge, since it's not as rough as the green one).
Step 8: LIGHTLY (and I stress, lightly) scrub the gunk off. VOILA!
If this didn't work, your iron is pretty much uncleanable and needs to be replaced. ORRRRRRR follow the steps again, using full-strength vinegar. Your house will smell AWESOME!
