Fruit Fiesta

Summer is one of the best times to enjoy fruits. We heart summer fruits.

I took this photo below at the supermarket we went to after looking at small netbooks for the kids. These netbooks are a bit cheaper now in the advent of tablet pc.

Anyway, re fruits: The supermarkets present them in a very nice way, as compared to the one being sold at the markets. And yes, the former charges double than the latter. I prefer to buy in the market of course because I can get more fruits and even a discount if I buy a lot.

Our summer favorite fruits are watermelons, cantaloupes, mangoes and pineapples. Yum!

Velvet Apple

Mabolo or Velvet apple seems to be a rare fruit these days.

Mabolo tastes like apple, only softer and fleshier.I remember eating this as a child because our neighbor had a tree and under it was a bench where we (my neighbor friends and I) could sit and eat mabolo.

Low-Cal, Low-Carb Recipes

When I attended the Dona Elena Cuisinera Club’s Summer Recipes (low-cal and low-carb)  Cooking Demo on the last Saturday of February, I was tempted to look around the mall where it was held because there was a sale going on. But of course I did not, even after the cooking demo was done. *heaves a sigh of relief*

Anyway, I will be featuring the three recipes done later today when I have the time. I just need to get my bag I left in my MIL’s home for a copy of the recipes.

Here are three photos for each of the recipes prepared:

vegetables

cream dory and mushroom

fruits and vegetables

I will be back later ASAP 😉

Summer Fruits

Summer to me means fruits in season are a-plenty.

Summer means mangoes, ripe or green, watermelons, melons, pineapples and strawberries are in season too.

Take your pick and have a refreshing and healthy snack 🙂
