Penne Alfredo with Roasted Garlic and Herb Chicken

Summer days are starting to let us feel its scorching heat. The desert is turning golden brown even more, with hints of green, and some flowers blooming here and there. You cannot get out and enjoy the heat of the sun longer or you'll get sunburn.

It was an overcast sky today which was a nice change from the very hot, hundred degree temperatures the last few days. We did not have to turn all the AC's the whole day. God is good!

Anyway, I can never choose between a very cold, icy winter or a very hot, fiery summer. So, I'd rather just be thankful I can experience both extremes, which tells me I am alive and living well! Thank God for the wonderful life whether it is hot or cold.

Because it was a wonderful day, it was also a great day to do some cooking! I made some penne pasta with homemade alfredo sauce. I also pan-grilled some chicken breasts which were seasoned with roasted garlic and herb. It was pretty easy and quick to make. Dinner was served with ice-cold cranberry juice. Time to eat!

Pancit Canton with Shrimp and Fish Balls

I am cooking some pansit today! What is pansit? Pansit is a Filipino stir-fried noodle. I had some fish balls that I bought from last week's grocery shopping and some frozen shrimps which will go well with the noodles.I  will add some veggies like green peppers, carrots, and mongo sprouts. Green onions would have been great with it but I don't have it. So let us stick with what we have. And finally, here is the photo of my homemade Pansit with lemon wedges on the side.
