Plantain bananas, oats and chocolate chips are what can be found inside this bread that I make at home. Sometimes using the same recipe, I also make these as muffins.
Yes, I know, putting chocolate chips, even if its the semi-sweet kind is not really a good idea for me who really needs diet pills, wait make that, needs to lose weight but the aroma of chocolate and banana in bread is wonderful for me!
I always make four batches of mini-loaves of this kind and always, always, it is a hit with the hubby and the kids who love to have the bread still warm. If I bake it in the morning before it turns dark, everything is gone.
Served best with coffee or milk 🙂

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

The business sector is frightening. So many big companies are folding up and millions of people are affected. Why millions? Because one employer affected by his company folding up has most likely a family who he supports.
There are those who operate in the underground economy who are also affected. There are a lot of people who benefit from the underground economy, those who do buy and sell different products like food. And because their businesses are considered in the small-scale sector, they see no reason to have their businesses insured unlike big businesses who has to get business insurance.
People are not choosing their jobs anymore. Some women would go for man jobs if it means getting work and getting pay for it.
One thing for sure, now is the time to seriously practice tightening the belt in preparation for more punches and kicks. Or should I say, we should not stop tightening the belt as of now.

Arts and crafts are a big thing for me, as a mother and as a teacher. I have written articles about why it is important to teach these to children here and here.
One of the ways to show how creative the children are is by giving away handmade greeting cards during special occasions. Be these manually made or done using the computer, I am sure these will be appreciated well.
One of the ways to send greetings to loved ones during special occasions is by sending online greeting cards. Yes, these are economical and has a fast delivery.
The other day, I saw my six year old daughter Tania make a Valentine greeting card on the desktop and here is what she made:
Simple but it sure brings the message across 🙂
