EATS a WRAP!
I was feeling a little worried that I would have to go order myself that wrap in one of the fast food nearby. I was also tempted to buy a shawarma, warm, cheesy and spicy. But wait, these are not Filipino foods so I thought long and hard because I knew I have something in my files and so I have!
Very simple, very Pinoy and very tasty: our home made Saba con cheese turon 😀
How to make these? Simple and here is how:
First of course, get some ripe bananas using the saba variety:
A little overripe is ok. Cut these bananas into four pieces.
Cut the cheese like little cheese sticks, or the size of French fries.
Put the sliced banana and cheese together on a wrap (lumpia wrapper, store bought) and sprinkle with a little sugar. We use muscovado sugar variety at home.
Fry these banana and cheese turon in a hot skillet and you will have:

Why do I love food? I asked my daughter this question and she answered we love food because food makes us alive. True, we should eat to live and not live to eat.
Not that I am saying that the “live to eat” thought is not good because that philosophy would be good too as long as the food being taken is healthy.
Below is a sandwich that I prepared:
A sandwich with lettuce, tomato slices, scrambled egg and a slice of cheese in between whole wheat bread that I made for lunch and brought to work.
I plan to have more of these in the coming days, plus more (raw) vegetables in my lunch box and on the dining table too. No sweat with fruits since we all love to eat fruits.
This kind of sandwich made from home is definitely less expensive when bought from a restaurant or a coffee shop. Good for the heart, I hope it is 🙂
Belated Happy Hearts day to all!

One of the things I enjoy most when I am in the mall is looking at kitchen gadgets, next to looking at books and discount furniture.
Lately, I have discovered the joys of baking. Not that I bake decadent goodies but rather good enough to be appreciated by my family.
Of course, some of the things on my list that I am looking forward to getting in the near future are gadgets that can help me do better with my baking skills. Even if baking is a bit tiring, at least I know how the food my children are having was prepared

Snacking turned differently when I re-learned how to bake stuff. We have not been buying the usual biscuits and cookies because the children (and hubby and I as well) have been eating home-baked goodies.
I baked every other day since a 9×9 baking pan of brownies or several batches of mini-loaves and muffins are gone before 48 hours.
Last Monday we had these in our lunchbox for our snacks:

We got this bottle of Julio & Julia Special Strawberry Cider during a trade fair we went to last year. This was made from the far north up where the mountains are cool and where strawberries are harvested.
The bottle content is almost gone. We need to get a new one soon. I even asked iMom last month to get me a bottle when she and her family had a vacation in the City of Pines but she was not able to find a bottle.
What I like about this is its being sour without tasting like it has been chemically done to do so, it is naturally sour without leaving an aftertaste in the palate. It also smells pleasantly good.
With what do I use this? When I eat green mango salad with fresh tomatoes and onions.
I hope to get a bottle soon but where?

The Fried Cream Dory Fillet is undeniably one of the favorites on the dining table.
So what do I do to prepare these easily? I have a concoction ready-made just for these fillet:
- all purpose flour
- cornstarch
- bread crumbs
- salt
- pepper
- dry basil
I have all these in a jar ready to use whenever the children ask for the Creamy Dory Fillet that is if we still have some left in the freezer. I just need to beat eggs to dip the fillet before I use this.
For that batch above, used additional fresh basil leaves that i cut into very tiny pieces. The smell was wonderful 🙂
Try having this is a seafood restaurant and be prepared to pay for a big bill 😉
