Lindy’s Ono Recipes

I enjoy eating Yakisoba (Japanese Fried Noodles) and have made it in the past (not too often) with the frozen saimin noodles, which often made a mushy Yakisoba. Now, with the ‘oodles’ of ramen varieties, this dish is so delicious, even with heating up the leftovers in the microwave the next day. I LOVE the […]

Our friend Gwen shared this very yummy Tea Pork recipe with me … I actually begged her to share it with me after eating it at a potluck ! I was soooo lucky that she did and even happier when she said I could make a laminated recipe card for my collection. It […]

Whenever we have family potlucks, I’m usually asked to be the ‘Pupu Lady’ and bring some ono appetizers to enjoy before we partake in the big spread that is a norm for our local potlucks. You probably had some indication by some of my prior entries that featured some of my favorite pupus.

When the mood strikes, I like to take the time to make a special dessert that is aim to please! These Phyllo Tarts look more complicated than it actually is. The ONLY tedious part is making those cups, which isn’t really bad at all. The trick is to work fast so as not to dry […]

I love pupus (appetizers)! I’m usually asked to be the “pupu lady” for family potlucks. I got this recipe from my cousin Janet. Its a baked version of the Mexican Layer Dip and it has a lot of flavor! It has that added touch of Portuguese Sausage and hamburger under all those layers… yummy! […]

Kogai Barasushi is one the recipes in Da Original set. I first got this recipe from my cousin Carol many years ago. It makes a great potluck dish! The unique flavor comes from the Ajitsuke Kogai clams sold in a can and can be found in most supermarkets as well as Marukai. […]

Ono Broiled Sushi is another yummy recipe that I got from my friend Lori. I had to put this recipe in Da Original set, cuz it definitely is a winner and a hit at all the potlucks! Eaten with crispy Korean nori (seaweed) makes it addicting! Be warned that you may not have […]

Lazing around on this Sunday afternoon, since tomorrow is a holiday for me … Discoverer’s Day, I was thinking about what to make for dinner and I thought of ‘my friend Martha’s’ (Martha Stewart that is…) meatloaf. I love this version of Meat Loaf mainly because of the slices of bacon on […]

This Artichoke Dip has always been a favorite of my kids from when they were a lot younger … it must be all that cheese! What kid doesn’t like cheese? The only thing about this, is the more cheese you put on the top … the more it will harden as it cools. I […]

This is one of those ‘old family recipes’ that I got from my Aunty Mitzi, who is my mom’s twin sister! This dish is like a simple nishime (Japanese simmered vegetables) and uses only 3 main ingredients, unlike the tons of vegetables in nishime. I love the knotted konbu (seaweed) in the […]
