Dinner: Father's Day 2021

                    I prepared some of Hubby's favorite dishes for dinner. I prepared the things in advance so that there is no need to tire myself. After all, it is Father's Day and we need to spend time together.

                    To make the Baked Salmon special, I got some dill from the garden. During quarantine we got a bit obsessed about gardening, and hubby planted some malunggay, dill, rosemary, peanuts, radish, pandan, mustard -- and some ornamentals. We also have an overaged pineapple plant :)


  The Baked Salmon is simple but it is super delicious.

                    I also made the remaining crusty bread rolls in to pesto toast. For the pasta, I just made some mushroom garlic pasta.

4. Serve with pesto toast. Add some parmesan cheese on top of the pasta.


                    We also made some baked ribs. It was not sweet but it was super spicy. Rhian is now old enough to love spicy foods. So instead of making sweet ribs, I made it savory and spicy.

                    It was a fast dinner preparation -- but a super long and happy dinner with the family. I almost forgot, I also made some strawberry cheesecake-- the strawberries was from Tita Vi and Ate Lulu.
