Homemade Longganisa (Filipino Breakfast Sausage)

6/12/2015

My mom bought and cooked longganisa for breakfast one weekend, and it was such a torture for me to watch her and Kaylee devour it with garlic fried rice. Since I'm pregnant, I have to stay away from it because of preservatives esp. sodium nitrate/nitrite. If you've been pregnant or been around pregnant women, you would know that once we want something esp. food, WE WANT IT! I figured the only way to have it is to make it myself without preservatives. It was so easy that I wished I thought of it before.

Longganisa (pronounced as long-ga-nee-sa) is a Filipino style sausage. Its taste/style varies from region to region.

I personally prefer the sweet Pampanga style longganisa. This particular recipe is the sweet version.

How to make your own Monogrammed Plaque

Hello hello! Today I want to share the project I did a year ago, so this post is long overdue... This is on "How to make your own Monogrammed Plaque."

I've always wanted to put something personalized in front of our house. At first, I thought about putting our last name on our mailbox, but I thought maybe that's too much information. I got so excited with the thought of monogrammed plaque maybe over our front door. I found a lot of nice monogrammed overdoor plaque online, but I had one problem with them. The prices range from $120-$190 plus shipping and handling to Hawaii. Yikes!

I had to think of a way to get it cheaper. While I was at Ross, I had this brilliant idea. (light bulb!!!) I bought this decorative cast iron wall thingy in rusty black, then went to Ben Franklin's to buy a wooden letter G.

I got this at Ross for $11.99, super cheap! Keep in mind it's a hit or miss at Ross.

My letter G was about $4. I already had the craft paint & brushes conveniently on hand :)
