Baked Mac and Pan-Fried Steak

Nov 26th 2009Food and Dining & Food Friday & Photos

foodfriday

We had a simple Thanksgiving dinner today.

Baked Macaroni and Steak

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! 🙂

Can You Do the Nestle Fitnesse 14 Day Challenge?

Nov 15th 2009Food and Dining & Visualizations & Web Contest

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.

Because I Was Too Lazy to Cook

May 25th 2009Food and Dining & Thoughts

Just looking at my food photos in this blog makes me feel I am gaining pounds, lol!

Honestly, I did gain some when the children went to have a five-week vacation and I now I am seriously thinking about weight loss products.

Husband and I had a lot of greasy and fattening dinners when we were alone because I was too lazy to do home-cooking for two.

Lesson learned: be more kitchen savvy 🙂

Onion Rings

Jan 16th 2009Food and Dining & Food Friday & Philippines & Photos

Onion rings.

“Ewww… the smell” as some people would react.

These onion rings can be used for frying crispy onion rings, or used as pizza toppings or for the Filipino version “bistek”.

Our own version of the bistek has no beef strips but has bangus back fillet strips marinated in soy sauce, oyster sauce, and ground pepper cooked with onion rings. Yum!

Sausage Omelet

Nov 7th 2008Blogging101 & Food and Dining & Food Friday & Philippines & Photos & Urban Living

Ingredients:

3 pieces of sausages (I used those that were bought from Ilocos, given as “pasalubong”)

1 big tomato, diced

1 onion, diced

2 garlic cloves, minced

3 eggs, beaten

1 teaspoon of cooking oil (I use Canola oil)

2 teaspoons of oyster sauce

salt and pepper to taste

a dash of dried basil

Omelet is a perfect food for those on the go. It is easy to do and can be served during any meal. It can be taken with hot rice, fried rice or bread.

I like mine with fried rice and  tomato ketchup.

What is your favorite omelet?

Breakfast

Oct 17th 2008Food and Dining & Food Friday & Memetag & Photos & Urban Living

They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Filipinos are know to have heavy breakfast of rice, eggs, meat and fruits. Or pancakes, champorado, porridge and pandesal with limitless choices for filling.

For those on the go, the easiest way to have breakfast is by making sandwiches, preparing oatmeal and cereals with milk or having a glass of fruit smoothie.

What is you favorite breakfast meal?
