Cooking, My Kind of Thing

When I was still single, I don't really know how to cook. My Mom did all the cooking when I was still young. She told me then that I need to watch her cook so when I grow up I will know how to and that I can cook for my husband once I am married. And that is what I did. I watch her every time she cooks. She really cooks yummy foods and healthy foods for us. Back then, she serves us mostly veggies and fish and occasionally meat (white and red). I am glad I listen to her and followed her advised. Now, I am proud to say that I can cook yummy foods that even my in-laws love the dishes I make for them when they come visit us. I feel like I can even put up a restaurant where I'll be the cook and hubby would be the cashier and server :-). Every once in a while, I tell him how much I want to have a restaurant of my own. And when we  are driving up on the way to our favorite restarant, we always see this building that sells restaurant supplies. We always say we need to check it. I bet they have variety of cooking utensils, pots and pans and more.

Enjoying Our Desserts at Braums

After having Filipino foods for dinner tonight (fried tilapia, tortang eggplant and ginisang gulay), we headed at Braums (our favorite fastfoods/dairy store)to have desserts. I chose frozen yougurt, hubby had a tuxedo/sundae and Jacob enjoyed his double dipped chocolate ice cream. As you can see on the photos seen here. We love Braums! We love their ince cream, and milk. Their burgers, sandwiches are pretty good, too!

Yes, I DO!

You Eat Like a Typical Woman

You tend to gravitate toward foods that are lighter and healthier. You are an adventurous eater, and you're always interested in learning how to cook new things. Like the majority of women, you tend to snack throughout the day and avoid big meals. You prefer the little of everything approach. You don't want to be weighted down by your food.

Amazing how this thing fits perfectly into mine. I am exactly that person described in this post :-)! I do eat healthy foods. I eat small meals with small snacks in between otherwise my blood sugar will spike up. Being a diabetic is not that easy, but I am doing well. I follow my docotr's advised and keep track on my carb and sugar intake.

Warm Soup on a Cold Winter Day

The snow is still melting, but the school is open today... just only two hours delayed. Anyway, when we went outside this morning, it was still cold. So after I dropped Jacob off at the school bus stop, I went home right away and cooked some soup. It is a Pinoy soup we called "sopas". Here it is...perfect on a cold winter day! Yummo! I just put some veggies in there like celery and carrots, sauteed' with garlic and onion, plus a can of "chicken at the sea."

Foods I Am Craving Right Now!

When we went to Washington DC last week, we have the chance of going to a Filipino Store and luckily they sell already made foods like these:

I have Milkfish in the freezer, just need to thaw it and them will be ready to marinate...yum!

One good thing about Lechon or Pig Poast is that you don't need to have a whole pig to make it; you just need to buy pork belly at the store. Boil it till it's tender, then fried it! There you have a Lechon Kawali.

They have this at the store, too, I didn't like the look of it, that is why I didn't buy one. It is Biko.
Aren't they mouth watering?
