My son is crazy about bacon (well, sometimes I am, too. lol)..so I want to know how other bacon lovers incorporate it in their meals. I will try to make mine healthier (maybe add veggies, or something), because that's just me being me. :D

This week's food post has that ingredient that I have been trying my youngest to like: sweet potato. Am calling this: Crunchy Sweet Potato.


Ingredients:

  • freshly boiled sweet potato - one, medium sized
  • milk - 2 tbsp.
  • mango jam - one big dallop
  • cereals - 1/4 cup

* amounts listed good for two kids or one adult


Procedure:

  • Peel the boiled sweet potato then roughly mash.
  • Mix the jam and milk together, then pour over the boiled sweet potato.
  • Crush the cereals and put on top to give the snack that crunch.
  • Enjoy.



I think that this was half a success (and half a failure) since my youngest only managed to eat three tablespoonfuls. But at least he tried. lol. My other son liked it, though. Both of us finished it in no time. :D

Back when I was still in college I got invited to several religious groups to witness how they celebrate Christ. I have nothing against other religions since I believe that if it works for you, then you should definitely explore it. I attended some groups with interesting worship seating (men/boys were separated from women/girls), and one time I even attended a baptism. They waited for me to join them on to the pool for the baptism, but I just couldn't because ... I don't know. I was not comfortable. I mean, I was already baptized (when I was barely a month old here on earth). It strengthened my faith, though.

Am not really that religious, but I do pray to God. :)

InLinkz seems to be glitchy today...found out that it picked two featured players! No worries, happy to feature not one, but TWO yummy food posts for this week!

This week's Featured Food Friday players are ...

Ms. Kim, with her post Squash and String Beans in Coconut Milk, on her blog: @my tabletop.

I am a big fan of anything with coconut milk (usually) so this one definitely gets a thumbs-up from me! I haven't tried cooking this version (with pork), but would love to try it! I just love it when one basic recipe gets different variations. I believe that that's what cooking (and eating) is all about anyway:  it's a personal thing!

and

Ms. Oggi, with her blog post Matcha Daifuku, on her blog: I Can Do That!

I first tasted mochi a couple of years back and I instantly loved it! It reminded me of the 'kakanins/local snacks" we usually have at home. You know, the ones with coconut milk and/or sticky rice. I love mochi mixed in with yogurt, or paired with a delicate tea. I haven't tried making it myself, though. If you want to know how it's made, then go and check out Ms. Oggi's post; and see the different versions she made. You'll love it!

Japanese Food: my post for this week.
Nope, not my cooking. Though I wish it was. lol.

upper LEFT: Kani Salad
upper RIGHT: Gomoku Ramen
lowest pic: Chicken Teriyaki

I have been craving for some hot ramen/noodles the couple of days and that's why when we got the chance to go out as a family this week (just the two kids and I), we had lunch in one of our fave restaurants, Kimono Ken. As usual, we just had to have hot gomoku ramen, kani salad, teriyaki chicken, sashimi, and kani tempura (last two dishes not in the pic). Surprisingly, no rice this time; and am glad, since we were full after we slurped and chomped everything down!

Easy Lettuce and Salted Eggs Salad, that's my post for this week. :)


Ingredients:

  • washed lettuce leaves  (you may use half a pack of mixed greens)
  • salted egg (I only used one)
  • tomatoes (around two medium sized ones)
  • olives (optional)
  • salt and pepper


dressing:

  • extra virgin olive oil
  • calamansi juice (you can use lemon)
  • salt and pepper



Procedure:

  • Place leaves in mixing bowl, then set aside.
  • Remove the shells, then slice the egg. Slice the tomatoes, olives and then dump everything together with the leaves. Add salt and pepper, if preferred. I did with mine.
  • Mix the ingredients for the dressing together and drizzle over the salad.
  • Enjoy!



I had that together with spaghetti. Weird? lol. Maybe. :)

There seems to be more 'anonymous' commenters the past few weeks than the usual. I mean, I saw about a hundred fifty from my spam folder alone! LOL.

Thank heavens someone thought of adding a spam folder in almost every account! I just hope I didn't get to delete a legitimate commenter back there, though...so sorry if I did. I did it unintentionally. 

Comments are nice, but ... you know. :D
