The constants? Heaps and heaps of grated veggies - mushrooms, carrots, zucchinis, onions, garlic, capsicums, celery, spinach. Plus different spices. We use diced ham or bacon for meat. </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5225726908134818340.post-38908984977268431172017-09-14T10:32:00.001+10:002017-09-14T10:32:46.186+10:00New Recipe for Steak DinnerI saw a recipe in Facebook - you know those time-lapse videos that just pop-up on your feed - for cooking steak. And I thought, it was easy (a part of it anyway) and we are due for a new recipe.
<br />
<br />
Wednesday night is steak night at home - may it be pork, beef or lamb chops (I categorise lamb chops as steak - don't argue). This means easy night. We sometimes have steam frozen veggies or with baked beans and eggs. Easy peasy.<br />
<br />
So the new recipe? As I have said, I didn't use all of it. The steak was supposedly baked but I can't be bothered for that. I mainly copy the making of the juice - butter, garlic and rosemary (even the rosemary is dried not fresh - but we make do). I made the sauce/juice separately and bathed the steak when they were cooked. Cook the steak as you like. And ta da! It actually turned out great.<br />
<br />
I took time to search for the actual recipe and I think, this is <a href="https://www.facebook.com/buzzfeedtasty/videos/1739906896261952/">it</a>.<br />

Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5225726908134818340.post-28097817729704514102017-05-04T15:29:00.002+10:002017-05-04T15:31:38.854+10:00Omega 3Being Filipina, I eat almost any fish. I am not quite selective with how it is prepared – with bones or without bones. The only thing that I don’t like about it when it is in a soup – but there are fish soup that I like so really, it comes down to taste. But living with my husband who’s an Aussie through and through and maybe a bit spoiled, he will only eat fish prepared without bones. He said that he wants his food hassle free – he doesn’t want to pick. I’m really the complete opposite as I want mine with a bit of bone that I can pick around or with crispy bones. But, each to his own.<br />
<br />
As the type of fish, we mainly preferred snapper. It has a mild flavour. But in Easter this year, I decided to re-introduce salmon to my family. Mcj always said that it is an acquired taste as salmon has strong flavours. I like it myself but I can’t serve food that is not liked by everybody at home. This time though, it was a hit. I cooked it very simply, shallow fried – skin crispy. Of course, well seasoned. I have an assistant who does all that.<br />
<br />
So now, salmon is one of the fish meals in our weekly menu. I hope we don’t get tired of it. I was told, one slice is more than enough as it is filling. Now, I’m on the hunt for appropriate side dishes (aside from researching for <a href="http://www.guitarcenter.com/Acoustic-Guitars.gc">guitar acoustic at guitarcenter.com</a>). I was told, peas are good with it. But what else? Any idea?

<div style="text-align: left;">
Mcj was called to the GP's office unexpectedly last Sunday though he was scheduled for an appointment two weeks away. Why, you ask. The results of his blood/urine tests weren't good. He had very high sugar, cholesterol and triglyceride levels. He had high risk of developing pancreatitis. News that we are not happy about but are we not glad that he went to have those tests without prompting. They were not planned at all. He was at the doctor for a different reason and it's another story. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We are taking this news in stride. We fairly eat a healthy meal and I suppose, it wasn't enough. Mcj had to give up sugar for his coffee, so he's using stevia. We are on low carbs diet - less bread, less potatoes, no sweets and smaller portions. Meat has to be heart smart. Mcj is really being good with all of this. I can say that I am being a police and control freak with implementing a very strict diet - but I am just being very supportive. I think we all deserve a pat on the back for implementing dramatic changes with our lifestyle. What do you think of <b style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 10.6667px;"><a href="http://www.joyjewelers.com/modules/classrings/">a class ring at JoyJewelers.com</a>?

I'll be documenting our journey to our healthier meals and improved lifestyle. <br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
So, I just heard about this virus last week from MCJ yet, it has been a pandemic in South America and the USA. I have not seen it on the news yet. Why, I am really curious.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
So, I read about it this morning. It is a disease being transmitted by mosquitoes that go around during the day. It is a different species than those causing Dengue fever. The first case was noted in the 1950’s somewhere in Africa. In the past, it was noted to be occurring mostly in the area near the equator belt. The name is an African term, if I remember it right, that means “overgrown”. It could be that this disease originated in the forest.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
This disease can be spread by humans sexually. The first case was noted in the USA somewhere in Texas when a biologist, who’s been studying mosquitoes overseas had unprotected sex with his wife before he was diagnosed to be carrying the virus. His wife then showed signs and symptoms of the virus. It seems that the symptoms are not that dire for an adult person but the virus can cross the placenta barrier and can cause harm on foetus. Babies who are infected by this disease can have cephalic tendencies. Mothers who have Zika virus can transmit it to their babies. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Cases have been noted in Brazil recently and has been reported than one percent of babies born bear the sign of this disease. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.6933px;">This is a very alarming news indeed. Now onto some light stuff – what do you think of </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 10.6667px;"><a href="http://www.musiciansfriend.com/accessories/ernie-ball-2061-earthwood-80-20-bronze-5-string-banjo-frailing-strings">frailing</a></b><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.6933px;">?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Well, I admit that we have been naughty on the weekends. We have Maccas for lunch or lunches. It's just so easy to duck down to Maccas when you are tired from grocery shopping, putting them away and doing laundry. Maccas is not even 5 minutes drive away.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But really, how hard can it be to buy something while grocery shopping? Something that is a quick fix? Well, not really. Last weekend, I did a quick pasta with tuna sauce. It's not somethign to rave about but edible and healthy. Plus it's filling. What more can you ask for?

I can't even remember what particular topic we were discussing but it just led to eggs. And I said that when I eat eggs I have to not think about the state of the chickens that laid them. I was asked what type of eggs I am buying. See, I have been buying caged eggs forever. I have not really thought about the type. I assumed the household from my MIL and I didn't do any analysis of groceries that we buy. It's a routine and always on the list. My bad.</div><div><br></div><div>I learned then that caged eggs were laid by chickens that are cooped-up in a very cramped condition. A small coop and there are three of them. I am not even sure if they can move. All they do all day, I suppose is to lay eggs when they can. Which is really sad. </div><div><br></div><div>Growing up in the Philippines and even not in a farm, we only ever had eggs from free range chickens. That was then. Now, my Nanay buys eggs from the market and I think they are caged eggs. </div><div><br></div><div>So, with everything that I have learned so far, I started buying barn-laid eggs. I suppose, they are better than caged. We have friends who have chooks and theirs are in a coop. Can't have free-ranged chooks as they get to the neighbours.</div><div><br></div><div>I am sure there are nutritional benefits in eating non-caged eggs but my focus really is the condition of the chickens that laid them. And I suppose when these chickens are too old to lay eggs, wait, do they get to that stage? I don't really know but I assume they do. And when they are, they get slaughtered to be one of those chicken breasts that we buy at the shops. Sad and tragic really. </div><div><br></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5225726908134818340.post-67491509661875604362015-10-24T21:33:00.001+10:002015-10-24T21:34:46.203+10:00Double-Egg Yolk<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLpwN6sapTmohks3TXoAROtjZqVS_07gNREMwKwPFbKiZ9x1RrlhDwwKylZFHZIFMtxmsdBZ6br9yxYBt1Zpn0Vfmblsw7_ac7fHwvZgKSjW9zM0h1LiE8F7f0ubK7g2CrES00qCm2A5q0/s640/blogger-image--1338546190.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLpwN6sapTmohks3TXoAROtjZqVS_07gNREMwKwPFbKiZ9x1RrlhDwwKylZFHZIFMtxmsdBZ6br9yxYBt1Zpn0Vfmblsw7_ac7fHwvZgKSjW9zM0h1LiE8F7f0ubK7g2CrES00qCm2A5q0/s640/blogger-image--1338546190.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>So while we are in the topic of eggs, I am always amazed when I get double egg-yolk in eggs.

For almost a month or so now, I have reduced my coffee intake to two cups a day. This didn’t just reduce my caffeine intake but sugar as well - put two teaspoons of sugar to a cup of coffee. I’ve switched to green tea in the afternoon. I thought I’d have adverse withdrawal symptoms – not just drowsiness and headache but so far so good. I don’t take tea religiously but it seems that my system has embraced the lack of caffeine in the afternoon.<br />
<br />
At first, I thought green tea smells fishy but yes, it taste better than it smells. It’s a lot different from black tea for me. It seems my palate has recognised green tea and has relate to it – we have tea plant back in the Philippines and my Mum would brew some if we have belly ache.<br />
<br />
I’ve read many articles about the benefits of drinking green tea. I have not really noticed something different in my body yet but maybe, it’s just working in the background. Lol. I'll take the experts and researchers word for it.<br />

I have attempted to convert us into whole-grain or whole-meal but I have been accused of “conspiracy” or “sabotage”, only because I don’t eat as much bread as everyone else. I gave-in ages ago and just buy white bread week in week out. I know we need to have fiber in our diet as much as we can but I compensate it in other food that we eat.

With Woolies move to reduce the price in their homebrand bread to 85c, there are mixed reactions in the news website that I read. Some are happy, some are critical and some just doesn’t care. One of the polies commented that this move will kill the independent grocers. Some said there are no beneficial nutrients in this type of bread. I reckon, if you are serious about your nutrients intake you wouldn’t be seen next to a white bread. If you can afford to be a health buff, you wouldn’t be next to this type of bread at all.<br />
<br />
I used to buy this bread but it gets stale in two days. Sometimes, we can’t use up all of it in two days and then off it goes to the ducks or the bin. It’s false economy so I switched into a different brand. So far, I have not paid more than $4 a loaf yet and we are eating soft bread for longer.

A month ago, a kilo of tomatoes cost about 4 bucks. A week after that, it has gone up to almost nine. How ridiculous. Tomatoes are one of our staple veggies. Although, I am grumbling about the cost I have to pay for it.
But last week, I decided to hit the market - it's not really a farmers market but fresh produce are being sold there. I didn't have to pay 9 bucks but just about 6 - the cheapest among all the stores. And I bought heaps so I don't need to buy some this week. Just for the cost savings on tomatoes alone, it's worth waking up early and going to the market.
