Natural Remedy for Wrinkles
A friend asked me to help her look for natural skin care products to help her with her wrinkle problems. Uh-oh! I think I may have to read these for myself too, I tell her 😀
We searched the internet and read a lot of sites. One site, http://www.wrinkletreatment.org has a list of products one can avail of.
We looked at each other and say that we will get there but for now, we probably need to do some alteration in our diets to include food rich in vitamins A, B, C and E like meat, whole wheat, fruits and vegetables. Food rich in zinc like seafood, eggs and milk are also helpful as well as food rich in calcium.
So there, I have added these to my grocery list. I just hope lines will not be long when we go to the supermarket later as this is a payday for most of the breadwinners.
Skin Care
Been reading about skin care because I am still getting pimples even if it is not that time of the month when I usually get these. I have read information from several sites including dermitage reviews.
I am thinking that maybe this is the right time for me to visit a dermatologist to have my skin checked.
If not, I may have to get natural products that will help me with skin care:
- eggs
- honey
- lemon
- oatmeal
- fruits like avocado, cucumber, banana
These should be on my list of things to get when I go back to the supermarket later.
Homemade Chicken Shawarma
Home cooking is not only inexpensive but it sure guarantees safe handling of food. Home cooking is also a way to be creative in preparing healthier choices as compared to food prepared elsewhere.
If only most of our meals are prepared at home then I know we are eating better than the alternative.
Being creative in the kitchen enables one to experiment with different tastes, textures, flavors and adaptation to what is readily available in the kitchen.
Here is one alternative food preparation we did recently, introducing our homemade chicken shawarma:
Thinly sliced chicken strips (from chicken breast fillet) with oyster sauce, a bit of light soy sauce, and a little muscovado sugar, were cooked in olive oil.
I seasoned with salt and pepper.
For the vegetables, I sliced green bell peppers and cucumber (I removed the seeds). Lettuce is still very expensive so I skipped that.
For the dressing I used light mayonnaise.
I then topped these with grated cheese and voila, a homemade chicken shawarma for us.
The wrap consisted of store bought wheat soft tortilla wrap.
Yes, it was ‘sawrap”!
Sarap ng Buhay with Kraft Eden Cheese
Kraft Eden Cheese aims to target having 5,000 Filipino dishes cooked to set a Guinness World Record on December 14, 2009 at the Araneta Coliseum.
5,000 dishes? Filipino food, a fusion of the many scrumptious concoctions from the different cultural influences we had for several centuries, have evolved and these definitely can mean uniquely extra-ordinary and uber delicious.
Foodies, chefs, people who love to cook, culinary arts students and kusineros and kusineras will be whipping up these 5,000 dishes using Kraft Eden Cheese on December 14, 2009 at Araneta Coliseum.
Be a YUMM (Your Ulam, Mas Masarap) member and contribute your cheese recipes at the Sarap ng Buhay website.
I am contributing this Cheesy Turon recipe, yipee!
Cheese is a must-have item in our home. There are times when we just munch on cheese slices. The children and hubby too love to put heaps of cheese on their pasta.
French toast for breakfast or afternoon snacks have cheese slices in it:
Sandwiches are like meals in itself, with cheese and tomato slices and greens. Easy to prepare and easy to bring when going to the workplace or doing chores outside the home.
If you want to be a part of history, be more creative in whipping up those yummy flavorful recipes and help promote Filipino dishes through this event.

Eggplant and Tomatoes in Pasta
I love fresh tomatoes.
No, that is not my vegetable garden but I wish it was, lol.
I use these fresh tomatoes with omelet, as a side dish, for pasta and as part of sandwich fillings.
Below is a photo I have already used in this post:
We had this again the other night but this time using vegeroni spirals.
No photo though, we just dug in as soon as the dish was ready.
Yeah, we were that hungry.
We were also in a bit of hurry because I needed to go online for a live chat.
Happy Sunday and yes, happy eating 🙂
