Mojos and zesty garlic dip from Shakey’s.
An absolute favorite of the kids. I admit I like it too (with ketchup and chili sauce) if not for the “deep fried” part. Anything deep-fried is a no-no to me 
This is a wonderful side dish as long as the slices are well done and crispy and not soggy.

Last month, I blogged about Kraft Eden cheese and the goal to cook 5,000 dishes to top India for the Guinness world record for the most number of dishes cooked.
And they did! 5,845 dishes cooked with cheese, woohoo! So we show the world that we Filipinos are cheesy, huh?
Check the Kraft Eden YUMM Sarap ng Buhay site for some cooking ideas and if you want to contribute a recipe. Mine is the cheesy turon 
Now I am off to read about NC health insurance as a favor for a friend 
Oh by the way, do we have FF next Friday?

Tuna steak marinated in soy sauce, ground pepper, lemon juice, dried rosemary and oyster sauce, served with fried egg over steaming rice.
Perfect for a late night breakfast dinner.
A combo of these things with a variation with the tuna steak is something I prepare for hubby whenever he gets home late from work.
I am not fond nights when he gets home late because I fear for his safety. Plus I have to think of ways to get rid of dark circles under my eyes the next day

We had a simple Thanksgiving dinner today.
Baked macaroni and pan-fried steak with mushroom gravy.
The baked mac (and any other pasta) and steak are both common sights on our kitchen table but these are rarely found together in our meals. Together, these two make a wonderful meal.
I also made the mushroom gravy from scratch and yes, it passed the standards of the kids. Yipee!
Yes, that is something to be thankful for, being able to prepare meals that my children enjoy.
Happy Friday!

With the launching of Nestle Fitnesse 14 Day Challenge, I know a lot of women, and men too, are thinking about joining the bandwagon.
With proper exercise this mean losing 2 pounds within the specified time. To lose belly fat is probably one motivation to continue the program.
Even if my friends and I were not able to sign up with the challenge, I am taking it upon myself to follow the food servings in the program. And who knows, I might do this beyond the 14 day challenge, that is if I can control myself from getting that one last bite (or serving) of whatever is on our dining table.
