Bean Thread Noodles with Stir-Fried Chicken and Vegetables, My Blog's 3rd Monthsary and My Mom's Birthday!
It's my blog's 3rd monthsary...and it's my Mom's birthday too! There is sadness and happiness all bundled up in one for me today! It is really hard to think about a birthday when the person who's supposed to be celebrating it is no longer with us. My Mom would have turned 76 today had she not lost her battle with gastric cancer back in 2007. She's really greatly missed. And today (just as always), I remember her as I celebrate my 3rd month of blogging. I'm thankful for April 14, for without it, my mother wouldn't have been born...and there wouldn't be me here and you wouldn't be reading what recipes this blogger has to share! (",)   Unlike some mothers who consider cooking as a mere chore and duty, my mother found so much pleasure in cooking. Those meat and seafood dishes, stir-fried vegetables, soup, and desserts she made for us were all cooked with pleasure rather than a sense of obligation. She was truly a wonderful cook and baker as well. I remember that when I was a child, I would pull out a chair, sit and watch her cook dinner and bake her chocolate and chiffon cake using her wonder oven. I owe my passion for food and interest in cooking to her...and for that, I can proudly say that the person who made Pinay In Texas Cooking Corner possible is no other than my beloved Mom. So today, I want to pay tribute to her. Wherever she may be, this is a loving Happy Birthday to my mother, Anselma Lopez-Flores...born on this day - April 14th, in 1935 in Malolos City, Philippines. I'm truly blessed to have been born to such a wonderful mom! Everything I am, I owe to her. She had taught me a lot of things and have always encouraged me to do what I like. Though I know she is in a better place now, I wish she's still here. She's truly missed each and every day. I love her and forever, I will...Just like the past two monthsaries of Pinay In Texas Cooking Corner, I want to share with you a noodle dish today, for longer blogging life that is. Both sides of my family loves to cook...and since I want to keep that love of food going, I want Pinay In Texas Cooking Corner to last long. :) 3 months down...forever to go! ;) Thanks to all my readers and followers! Your support means a lot to me...and is greatly appreciated! I wish that you'll always stay with me as I try to provide you with more delectable Filipino and non-Filipino recipes! ??? This recipe that I'm going to share with you is another one of my creations. It is basically stir-fried chicken breast strips and vegetables combined with bean thread noodles and ground peanuts. I came up with this the other day when my daughter, Cherlin asked me to cook chicken "and" clear noodles. She clearly said "and". What immediately came to my mind was Chicken Sotanghon Soup. But she said, "no soup please". So no soup it is... It came out good, and Ryan and the girls liked it. Check out the recipe and wish me more months and years of recipe blogging via Pinay In Texas Cooking Corner.
