Black Olives
Vegetable salads are one of my favorite food. Below is a bowl of vegetable salad I prepared: cheese cubes, Romaine lettuce, black olives, cucumber, tomato and carrot slices.
It just occurred to me and I just checked, I already featured this photo in this blog post for my 2010 Project 365 (which is not updated by the way for almost a month!)

Fish Fillet and Mushrooms in Oriental Sauce
We had this for dinner the other night: Fish Fillet and Mushrooms in Oriental Sauce which I saw Chef Golda cook during the February 27, 2010 Light Meal Recipes with Dona Elena Cuisinera Club.

Here was what I cooked using cream dory fillet from SM Hypermarket Centris.

Low-Cal, Low-Carb Recipes
When I attended the Dona Elena Cuisinera Club’s Summer Recipes (low-cal and low-carb)Â Cooking Demo on the last Saturday of February, I was tempted to look around the mall where it was held because there was a sale going on. But of course I did not, even after the cooking demo was done. *heaves a sigh of relief*
Anyway, I will be featuring the three recipes done later today when I have the time. I just need to get my bag I left in my MIL’s home for a copy of the recipes.
Here are three photos for each of the recipes prepared:
I will be back later ASAP 😉
Multicolored Plastic Pots
Inside these multicolored plastic pots are seeds planted in a mixture of non soil mix and used coffee grounds. These are being sprayed with water on a daily basis.
It smells like a cafe in this area and why not, these used coffee grounds can be had FOR FREE from Starbucks.
You can ask for a bag or two from a branch near you when you have time to grab a cup.
