Welcome!

Hello, My name is Ali Lindo. Welcome to my blog,The Hearty Filipino,I’m am a third generation American on my father's side.I’m part Filipino and have been enjoying the sweet and savory sides of the culture since I was little kid.  

In my opinion, the best and cheapest way to travel to a country without actually going there, is to indulge in their cuisine. I have found that many people have not tried any Filipino or pinoy food and when I ask why they haven't tried it, they respond,  “I don’t think I'll like it.”  Wrong!  Even with some super picky eaters in my family, there is at least one dish they love and usually more. 

So in my blog you, will find simple recipes for any family not just Filipinos. Each week, I will post at least one recipe and will take pictures just to get you licking your lips. The recipes will vary from appetizers to desserts.Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy the recipes.
