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 😉

Sweet and Sour Pork

Saucy.

What comes to mind first?

For me, this:

Sweet and sour pork. Yes, a Chinese recipe but it has come to be a Filipino dish that we love.

I love this but honestly, I haven’t tried cooking that. Maybe because we haven’t had pork for a long time (except pork steak cuts for baon). I tried sweet and sour sauce with fried tilapia though.

That by the way was an order from Chowking 😉 Tastes good but a tad too sweet. I could do with more lean meat than fat and more vegetables in the dish.

Fat-Burning Vegetable Soup

These are some of the ingredients needed to make vegetable soup which would help burn body fat.

Special thanks to a very special lady who shared this recipe to those who want to burn body fat while having this soup: Toni of Wifely Steps.

I tried this vegetable soup and I loved it. If I could only have this for a week, like those being taken for a 7-day diet, I would. Semestral break is coming up so I may have the chance to do this again once I don’t have to go to work.
