SAWCLicious: Tilapia Fish Cakes

It is already summer but if you are in the Benelux area, you are probably one of the people who would complain about summer. Simply because there is no summer in this side of town. I may be an exception cause I'm enjoying summer as it is: cold, cloudy, and rainy. People find me really weird. I guess, one of the things I learned when I moved to Brussels is how to appreciate simple things in life. I appreciate the cold as I never had it all my life unless of course I take a plane to another country or drive 10 hours to reach the mountain top. 

One of the things that I also appreciate is when I get to see local food that I'm familiar of. Don't get me wrong, I love Belgian food. Their fries, pasta, mussels, steak are really delicious but it is still different to eat a home-cooked meal the one that you grew up familiar with. So when I was in Delhaize for my grocery, I was so giddy to find they have frozen tilapia. I was too excited, I bought 2 kilos of it! I practically ran out of ideas to cook my tilapia considering that I'm eating alone.

So, the other day, I had some friends over and I thought why not try to make some fish cakes out of it. It turned out to be really good! I received a two thumbs up from my friends and I promised Pia, I will share this recipe.

SAWCLicious: Tuna Dip

My mom used to make this easy tuna dip/spread that we all love. She would always make a big bowl and keep it in the fridge. We eat it for breakfast, mid-day snack and midnight snacks. I copied my mom's recipe and made it as a dip with nachos. One of my friends really loved it that I promised I will share the recipe in my blog and here it goes.

SAWCLicious: Hawaiian Meatballs

To welcome summer in Brussels (What summer?!?), my friends have organized a Hawaiian themed dinner. I was all giddy to prepare Hawaiian food even with little knowledge I had. I went on a quest through the Internet to find out the top Hawaiian recipes and discovered a number of results with meatballs. So I decided to prepare meatballs, Hawaiian style! Here is the recipe to this easy dish.
