Since I am limited to what I can put in the title, I just have to do everything I can to relay my message. I know that "Food For Thoughts" means something that warrants serious consideration. Don't you agree that food is one of them?

Below is an Italian Garlic Bread With Herbs that I made this morning for lunch. It is made with Italian Bread, Butter, Minced Garlic, Mozzarella Cheese, Parmesan Cheese and Parsley. This is good with Spaghetti and other dishes.

I like Fried Chicken with Spanish Saffron Rice. They are among my comfort foods. 👍  What kind of peppers do you have there? Are they hot or mild?

Hey, @mercerik! Does it have to be food we make?

mercerik

It doesn't have to be. Not everyone cooks. It could be favorite food. @Crimson_Dawn

One of my favorites (we actually discovered it in Okinawa Japan) is Taco rice. Make some sticky rice. While it is cooking you make the topping. You brown and crumble a pound of lean ground beef and then drain it, then you add taco seasoning and simmer for 10-20 minutes. I add some dried onions too. Then you put a scoop (or two) of the rice in a bowl, put the ground beef on top, add shredded cheese and shredded lettuce and you have Taco Rice. The only thing we do is instead of fresh tomatoes we usually put salsa on top.

Thanks for sharing the food that you like from Okinawa! I used to make some of those wrapped in homemade tortilla type of wrappers made with flour and water.  

I like Sticky, Sweet or Glutinous Rice. It is amazing that these are very cheap in Asia and cost a lot here. I am planning on buying some of those so I can make Puto, Palitaw, Bibingka dishes from the Philippines.

One of my favorite foods from the Philippines is Lumpia.  Do you make it @mercerik?

I like both types of Lumpia from the Philippines. I know how to make them. Unfortunately, the ingredients are hard to find here. I would like to make the Bean Sprout with Tofu and Pork but I can't find fresh Bean Sprout anywhere here. The only Egg Roll Wrapper that I can find here is by Melissa which is not the same.

Have you tried Lumpiang Shanghai? It is made with ground Pork, Shrimps, chopped carrots, chopped green and white onions, minced garlic, chopped green & red bell peppers, chopped jicama, oyster sauce, soy sauce, fresh ground black pepper, and white pepper wrapped in Egg Roll wrappers and deep fried. These are dipped in Sweet Chili Sauce or Sweet and Sour Sauce. I usually make this with Crab Rangoon. Below is the photo..
