Beautiful afternoon!🌷
How are you all?
I hope you are all doing well and happy together with your friends loved ones and family!❤
I am here again for another foodie treats for Dinner..mostly people are making their decision on choosing their food meals according to what is new on the trend, what is being advertised on the televisions and Internet without even thinking about the value of the food and the nutrients being found on it.
Moderation on everything should be observed! No matter how delicious or nutritious the food is..of course, there are times that it is really hard to control what we eat, I admit to myself I am very much stubborn sometimes, kind of I will give myself a certain measurement of what I am going to eat..like 1 cup of rice..then I will end up to almost 2 cups heheheh most especially when I was happily talking while eating here with my family..maybe it's not that bad if we did this sometimes but not every time hehe.
When my menu has a soup dish. Ahw my...I sipped a lot of soup that sometimes I am almost full already before I started to eat my main dish and that is not good..but like what I have said hehe it's hard to control.
Sometimes I told my Mom I will give a day in a week that I will not control the amount of food that we will go to eat..like on Sundays but not-so-heavy food..and I will call it a free day hehe. I will cook snacks, sweets and other dishes. Mom said, "It's not bad to do that but not every week you don't need to make a plan for not good things hehe.." Hehehe I replied, "Just kidding Mom!".But when you are the one who cooks, really hard to control because you keep on tasting the food so when the proper time to eat come, it either you are already full or you want to eat more
Self-discipline on food intakes should be practiced and I should be one of those who need to take that discipline because I am always the first one who violates my own rules when it comes to food hehe. But seriously we should be cautious about everything we eat or drink..for the sake of our wellness..we only have one body..one life so we should protect and take good care of it as much as possible..and we should do it more for our loved ones and family.
Most of the time I care most for them than of myself..and pretty sure most of you do the same.
So here are some of the foods that I have prepared before that I am going to share with you, foods that I put in one meal..where it is fried, soup, fruits, and vegetable salad..and rice..but to others, they prefer to have pasta and another kind of energy source..also depend on the country of course but all are just the same we all need the moderation.
I have here the roasted chicken..well I loved it when it is placed in banana leaves, especially when I put the leaf on a direct fire..it gives a different delicious aroma..mostly it has gravy or any dip like soy sauce with calamansi or any citrus..its a good source of protein
The next one is the " Sinigang na Hipon" Prawn Sinigang, It is a very delicious sour soup. I use fresh tamarind extract here but Lemon, calamansi is also best to use artificially mixed powder and it's full of preservatives, I don't go against it but I always choose the natural one. It has radish, green chili, tomatoes, string beans are also good and spinach too..but here I only add the radish and spinach
Sardines are also good to make a sinigang soup..and spinach will be the vegetable to use.
The rice, I always use to eat 1 to 2 cups, to be honest heheheh..but my Mom limits herself on the half cup only and she eats brown rice, then more on vegetables, I am a bit strict when it comes to Nico and Mom on their food intake, Mom is very much critical right now but the cause of her illness is not because of food she ate before...and the Kid, I always provide him more protein source of food..as a kid, of course, I want him to enjoy every food but everything in control and he understood why I need to be strict on his intake
This is seaweeds, seafood too..this is being eaten as raw..a very nutritious food is rich in calcium. I only wash it with boiled water then add fresh tomatoes and onions.
Here is the fresh fruit salad, I carved the watermelon into a basket like the design then I sliced half of it then put the grapes and other fruits on it.
I always enjoy happy moments in the kitchen, I'm the kind of person that while I am in the market and buying foodstuff like fruit, my mind is also busy thinking about what tricks or attractive dishes I am going to do to make the food more delicious that my family will find it special and appreciate more.
That is why while walking around inside the market even I am alone, you will see me smiling and enjoying all the things around me hehe, Even in the wet market, I don't care about the smell of fishes, or water on the seafood table sometimes mess on my shirt hehe it was all fine with me because I always go there just wearing a simple t-shirt and jogging pants hehe. I talk and chat with the food stall vendors merrily, asking them anything that is helpful and will give me additional knowledge..most of them knew me already so they always give me discounts hehe..its good to be friendly and approachable with people like them too not because of the discount ha,! Hehe, they will give you honest and sincere treatment whenever you are in their place.
All these things from the market into our kitchen, all useless if you will not prepare it well..so always remember that:
Food becomes more delicious when it is cook and prepare.. full of love, and care..then served with a beautiful smile for our loved ones and family...
That is all for my foodie stuff for today!
I hope you all like it!
Please take care and rest well💕
I hope you did all your stuff well today. Always keep and wear a beautiful, smile like this👉😁💕.
