Tsokolate-e is one of the best beverages to have during the months when the cool Northern winds are working its chill to our bones.
These found its way on our breakfast menu one cool morning after Christmas.
Have you tried this with suman and ripe mangoes?
If you haven’t, well, do try it as soon as possible 🙂
If you have, well, what do you think?
The suman (PhP 12/5 pieces) and mangoes (Php60.00/kilo) were bought from the nearby wet market while the tablea was given by MIL and bought in Bohol. Get this in a resto and you will pay a lot more than the kilo of mango for a few slices of the suman and mango cubes 🙂

I thought I didn’t have kitchen gadgets to write about which is this week’s Lasang Pinoy Sundays theme. Well, I do! *insert Plurk banana dance here 😀
I would have taken a photo of my (almost) newly bought Rubbermaid can opener as suggested my Munchkin Mommy but then I thought about my Tupperware Quick Chef Food Processor which is rarely used. Mine though is bigger and colored white, because its older than the one in the link.
In fact I think I have had this for several years but have used it less than ten times only.
Anyway, a few weeks ago I used this de-mano gadget to chop tomatoes, garlic and fresh basil together for a pasta dish.
The tomatoes, garlic and fresh basil (when my basil plant was still “alive”) sitting in the Tuppeware Quick Chef Food Processor.
This was the dish when it was finally cooked:

For the third week of the What’s in your Lunchbox Meme entry over at the FilipinoMomBlog.com here is what Julian and Tania had for snacks yesterday:
Sliced apples and chocolate milk drink. I know these do not exactly “match” but they love both so that is what I give them.
The apples were washed using (I know this may sound weird) liquid dish washing soap to ensure that the skin is clean. The apple is then sliced thinly so that they can easily eat the pieces and not feel that have had too much of the fruit.
What was for lunch? Click here.

Theme: Green
I love greens, from the raw vegetable salad to the greens like camote tops, malunggay leaves, pechay and others that go with other food cooked as viand. As a healthy alternative, I personally prepare my own vegetable salad for my consumption. This is way less expensive than if I have to buy those that are ready-made.
One of my favorite salads is made up of just (Romaine) lettuce, slices of tomatoes and carrots, diced cheese, (sliced boiled egg) and tuna.
Most of the time I do not even put any dressing because some of the dressings are rather fattening.
This is a photo of our Italian Oregano plant:

We had a basil plant.
Yes, had because the plant died courtesy of those small white insects that seemed to feed on the fragrant plant. Coupled with that, ants infested on these small white creatures. I wasn’t able to take photos of these creatures but Googling them I was able to land to this page. Click here.
I knew I should have made pesto when the leaves were plentiful. This would have to wait until I get another plant or resolve to buy fresh leaves from the supermarket. I know I should have read pages like this one before I got the plant but that is water under the bridge now. Sigh.

These are some of the ingredients needed to make vegetable soup which would help burn body fat.
Special thanks to a very special lady who shared this recipe to those who want to burn body fat while having this soup: Toni of Wifely Steps.
I tried this vegetable soup and I loved it. If I could only have this for a week, like those being taken for a 7-day diet, I would. Semestral break is coming up so I may have the chance to do this again once I don’t have to go to work.
