Banana and Cheese Turon

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.

I Love Food

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!
