Instructions:
Yummy cheesy pizza, perfect for a light (light?) afternoon snack. This is the kind of pizza my children prefer, no frills but flavorful.
Vegetable salads are one of my favorite food. Below is a bowl of vegetable salad I prepared: cheese cubes, Romaine lettuce, black olives, cucumber, tomato and carrot slices.
It just occurred to me and I just checked, I already featured this photo in this blog post for my 2010 Project 365 (which is not updated by the way for almost a month!)
A trio of dips from Mang Inasal: vinegar, chicken oil and soy sauce.
Mang Inasal stores are just about anywhere. In the area where we live, there is one nearby but another one is being constructed.
Unlimited rice. For the uninitiated, rice is staple food in the Philippines and is present in almost every meal.(Yes, figure conscious people should have their weight loss pills ready 😀 )
We like eating here because the food being served are “homely” and simple.
I have featured the dish (below) here as it was done in a cooking class I was invited to go to.
Last Wednesday night, we had it for dinner with a few minor changes according to what I have at home.
I plan to cook more using olive oil even if it is a bit of a strain in the pocket but if the benefits are good for the family’s health, why not?
I usually use soybean oil for cooking and I still do especially in frying (fish) which requires more oil.
I wrote about my son helping out in the kitchen in this post.
Presenting the finished product: our Jell-o No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake dessert:
Yes, it was a finger-licking, lip-smacking and two thumbs up dessert. What bliss!
After putting away their textbooks for the homeschooling lessons, the two kids are pretty much free to do whatever they like and sometimes they either go out and play or help out in kitchen/home chores. Cooking and the smells associated with it always draw them in the kitchen to offer a hand or two.
I bask from the compliments they freely give 🙂
