Sometimes, the meals we eat throughout the day tell us what our lifestyle is.
Those simple meals perfectly captured the rhythm of our day.
These are the comforting dishes of our day.

Freshly Made Ube Kalamay
This morning, we woke up a little later than usual. So instead of preparing breakfast, we just bought kuya's freshly made ube kalamay. He sold it on a motorcycle outside our home. Just perfect for a light breakfast, and has the exact sweetness and stickiness. Yum! 😋

At The Bakery
Later that day, we do our grocery shopping. But because we only have a light breakfast, my hubby said he was already hungry. So before entering the store, we stopped at the bakery inside the mall, and chose our snack. My hubby chose a toasted siopao, while I picked a donut. After that, we got our energy back, and enough to continue our shopping.

Lunchtime Yet With Classic Filipino Breakfast Meal
By lunchtime, I finally cooked something for us. 😅 But since we didn't eat rice in the morning, our meal is like the classic Filipino breakfast. I just prepared fried dishes like fried luncheon meat, kikiam, and scrambled eggs. It's quick to cook but always satisfying specially with this ensalada. It's a simple mix of fresh tomatoes and onions, our usual side dish whenever there are no vegetables on the menu. So yeah, that saves the day. 🥳

Ginisang Sardinas With Kangkong
In the evening, I prepared what I would call our "proper" meal. HAHA This time I cooked fried chicken, and this comforting dish... ginisang sardinas with kangkong. 🤤 I actually missed this dish so much! It's been a month since the last time I cooked it. So having it again is so comforting and satisfying.

And that's it!
Looking back at the meals I had today, I realized that it's not perfectly balanced or perfectly planned but that's what reality is.
And for me, it's about appreciating the small meals that get us through the day.
Until my next everyday snapshots...
Thanks for the visit! Have a lovely day. Buh-bye. 💗🌸
