Jello with Coconut Sport #A-Spice-A-Day#57

We love jello as dessert here at home. Our favorite flavor is strawberry banana which is this one. I just added coconut sport to it as I did not have fresh strawberry or banana in my kitchen. When I eat jello, I love having some solid texture to it.

  • I made a  small pot of  macaroni soup  for Ms. Burrito's  cold lunch.  I brought it when I went to school for my volunteer   duty.
  • I made some  fajitas for dinner as requested by my husband for the nth times lol.

From Savory to Spicy: Sensational Sausage Suppers



Sausage: it's what's for dinner. Yeah, pork is what's supposed to be what's for dinner - but sausage made from pork is still pork, right? And, there's nothing quite like sausage links to bring back memories of the fair, important family dinners, or just enjoyable casual dining. So, what do you serve with pork? That's easy.



Rice and Beans

If you're going to use something like Edwards sausage links, try cooking them with rice and beans. It's simple, it feels a little exotic, and it's cheap. It's also filling and full of nutrients, thanks to the beans and sausage.

Rice is best cooked by adding at least twice as much water to the pot as rice. So, for example, for a cup of rice you would want at least 2 cups of water, preferably more. The rice will expand a lot, and you can drain off any excess water, and your rice won't get sticky or mushy.

Beans - it's important to soak beans before you cook them. Traditional cultures, and old cookbooks, almost always serve up beans that have been soaked overnight (or longer).


Potatoes


Potatoes are a sure-fire way to contrast the savory taste of sausage. Boil them, bake, or fry them. It really doesn't matter. The important part is that you cook them and serve them with lots and lots of butter - just like mom used to make.


Grilled Veggies


Peppers are almost made for sausage. It's reminiscent of the state fair. You could get a sausage and pepper sandwich that would make your mouth water. Now, you can do it at home, and save yourself the $7 or whatever it costs now.



BBQ Fries

It's a new spin on an old dish. To make fries, you'll need a deep frier. Set the oil temperature to a low setting, say 200 or 300 degrees. Precook cut potatoes for about 3 to 5 minutes. This will cook the inside. Now, take the potatoes out, dry them off, and let them sit for an hour or so. Turn up the heat to 400 or as high as your frier will go, and dunk them in again. It only takes a few minutes. Your fries will come out piping hot and crispy, and yet soft in the middle.

Now, add some BBQ spice. It doesn't have to be fancy. Smoked paprika, onion powder, pepper, salt, and a little garlic.



Soup Stock

Yeah, soup stock. In other words, make sausage soup. You can spice things up a bit by adding celery, carrots, and potatoes to the stock - all staples of any good broth anyway. Start with ox tail or genuine marrow bones. Put a few of these oddball items in a crockpot and add a few pinches of salt and a tablespoon or two or vinegar.

Let it slow-cook overnight and in the morning you'll have fresh beef stock. Why not use the canned stuff? Because real stock contains gelatin - and important protein your body needs that's not in commercial stock. Plus, homemade beef stock tastes amazing.

Belgian Chocolate Truffles #A-Spice-A-Day#56

 I love all the  chocolates that Guylian sent me for review last year. I hope I could review their products again lol. Listen to me talking about chocolates because honestly, I am not crazy about chocolates but their chocolates are so divinely good!  These truffles are the last ones that I consumed.  I gave some to  our friends and my children's teachers.

  • My day started great today.  I walked my kids to school since my husband has to go to work extra early on Tuesdays.
  • I went for a walk after I dropped them off.  My route was our neighborhood, I walked the same streets twice and then I  proceeded to the post office.  They weren't open yet so I did another lapse around the  shopping  area's parking lot  and back.  By the time, I got my package, the wind was blowing already so my fingers were hurting  walking home.  I got a good exercise though.
  • I made some cabbage roll for dinner.

  • After the snow has completely melted, It is starting to snow again, sigh. Yesterday was our last day of  nice weather.  I have to go to the school today to help other Moms to scoop ice cream for the students's day, a treat for all the  sweet tooth.
  • Sundae   went  great,  all kids were happy to have their  ice cream treats!
  • The music teacher was very excited to learn about the outcome of what we did last Saturday.  The principal also congratulated me.

Music Notes & Instruments

I have never been to a big a  school of music  before so it was a delight for me to  experienced it with my whole family.  I've seen some  music instruments when my grandfather was still alive and seeing the same instruments again at Mary Pappert's School of Music reminded me of my Lolo.  I've seen one cool student alto saxophone practicing in the hallway and it was a  very nice  and fresh breath of air.  While we were waiting for my daughter's class to finish, I took some pictures of their musically decorated  announcement  on the hallway, really neat.

Cheesy Skillets #A-Spice-A-Day#54

We were suppose to eat at Eat'n Park after we got done from Doquesne but the kids were exhausted that we just got back home. I had one dinner kit in the seller so I made it for a quick meal.  This chicken  and broccoli box has pasta with cream cheese sauce, dried broccoli florets, and seasoning.  I usually add  big chunks of broccoli but I did not have any  in the fridge that day.  This dinner kit saves time  when you want to fix a quick meal.

  • We visited my Dad, he was happy as I helped him prepared his stuffed pepper.  He is not familiar with the new oven that he has so he has a hard time figuring out what to do sometimes especially that he can't hardly see small prints.  While we were there, Ms. Burrito played some songs in the  out-of-tune piano at the my FIL's basement.  She discovered that someone have broken the piano chair in half.
  • We went to the mall after  we cooked Dad's  stuffed pepper.  We bought a pair of  boots for Ms. Burrito and a pair of pants uniform for the little Mister.
  • We  finished our trip with a small grocery shopping.  I grabbed a rotisserie chicken upon check out.
  • We had mashed potatoes, rotisserie chicken,  and  sliced  cucumbers soaked in  balsamic vinegar, a pinch of salt and sugar, and black pepper.  It was a great dinner.  I ate too much I believe, I had two plates of rice.  Yeah, I sabotaged my diet lol.
  • Did some laundry.  Dusted the furniture and hubby ran the vacuum again.  Our dogs shed like crazy.

Pot Roast with Lemon Grass#A-Spice-A-Day#52

Have you every prepared a roast using lemon grass as a spice. I tried it and loved it since. From where I came from, we uses lemon grass in many food that we coked especially the roasted chicken. It makes the meat so tasty and smells so good!  On the other hand, I  wanted to try this pork shoulder  cut, it was okay but my lovelies still prefers  beef when it comes to roast so that would be the last time I use pork.  I just thought of trying it because it was on sale at the store.

Spicy Monterey from Quiznos #A-Spice -A-Day#51

Aside from healthy reasons, I love sub sandwiches from Quiznos or Subway because you can create your own sandwich according to your liking. You will be given a choice what you want in your sandwich and that is what you will get. I love this Spicy Moneterey that I always get from Quiznos.  I always split half with my husband because it is too big and I can't eat the whole thing.

Coffee Creamer #A-Spice-A-Day#50

Do you have a favorite coffee creamer? Hubby and I love Creme Brulee from Coffee Mate.  We get disappointed sometimes because  the store where we buy our groceries doesn't stack too many of them. Sometimes they ran out of stock so we are forced to buy something else.  We tried this Souther Butter Pecan one time, it was okay but we were not crazy about it.

Almondina Biscuits.. The Delicious Cookie Without the Guilt

I love to snack on any kind of nuts and biscuits.  MY sister-in-law used to give me  home baked biscuits like biscotti and other crunchy bake goodies.  I was excited when Almondina, an Ohio-based company  that is owned by world renowned  musical conductor, Yuval Zaliouk, sent me  different  flavors  of  their biscuits.  All their cookies are sold in 50 states and some foreign countries   for two decades now which says a lot about the company.  You can pretty much find their products in big stores like Walmart, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, to name a few.
Here's more about Almondina:

These extraordinary gourmet treats are created from Yuval Zaliouk's secret family recipe which has been passed down from generation to generation and was introduced to the market in 1989.

Would you believe if I say that I am the only one eating it at home?  My kids stayed away from it as they  find it a bit hard, again, I love crunchy stuff so this is perfect for me.  My husband is  not very fond of biscuits either so I got all these for myself, Yay.. Hog me.. lol!

My favorite is the  sesame  flavored ones, it reminds me of home because I ate a lot of sweet treats  with sesame back home when I was growing up.  I  also love the  one with pistachio as I love   snacking on pistachio as well.   This is definitely a snack I would love to have  in my kitchen  all the time.  Perfect for my morning coffee or snack when I am doing my online  gigs.  

You can find Almondina on Facebook and like their page if you want to be updated with their yummy products.  Thanks a lot Almondina!

Fajita with Olives #A-Spice-A-Day#44

Some of the menus that my husband can eat anytime I make it is chicken fajita, lasagna, spaghetti, caldereta with rice, and barbecue. Lately, he is so into eating chicken fajitas.

Bottle Gourd #A-Spice-A-Day#43

When I was in the Philippines, I never freeze any vegetable nor use a any frozen veggies. But when I came here, I learned how to freeze veggies  especially the ones that  isn't available in our local  store like this  gourd.  I grew  an upo at our backyard and  got lucky to have only one fruit but it was very long so I chopped it after peeling off the skin and freeze it.  I used all of these already.  It is good with tinola or sinigang or when cooking sardines.

Nachos #A-Spice-A-Day#42

A favorite snack during football season.  This small serving cost $5 over at Jimmy Carey Stadium when we watched football last year.  They made a killing of income out of this since  a lot of viewers wants something to snack while watching.  Snacks from outside is not allowed so you really have to buy it from them.

Chicken Wingettes and Salad #A-Spice-A-Day#41

Dressing Up

My son is only 7 but he is already very  conscious of how he looks.  He likes to dress up even when at home.  We haven't found a tuxedo vest for his   upcoming communion yet but we will look into it soon.  He still have  another year anyway.  We almost bought a tuxedo for him at the store   last month but judging of how fast he grows, we hold off from buying it  because he might outgrow on it before he can  use it.  Below is the dressy clothes we bought him last Christmas.

Quiznos Date #A-Spice-A-Day #40

Ever since we have our kids, hubby and I rarely go on a date  by ourselves.  We always have our kids everywhere we go.  I think in ten years, we only went  on a date twice and that was because my  FIL and SIL had our  Burritos.  We  never really  leave the kids to day care or a baby sitter.  Anyway,  few days before Christmas, hubby took a day off so we can finish shopping for the kids gifts.  It gave us a little time for ourselves.  We  dropped by at Quiznos and try their healthy subs.  That was my very first time eating at Quiznos and I must say that I like them better than  Subway.  Since we liked our first time there, we took the kids  a couple of times there already when we go to the mall and they liked it too.

Frozen Milkfish #A-Spice-A-Day#37

Once in a while, I buy milkfish at the Asian store when we go to Pittsburgh. It's frozen but that's all you can buy there, no fresh fish at all.  This wasn't boneless but it filled up my cravings.  Hubby and kids does not like bangus or milkfish so I am the only one who eats it.  To eliminate the  strong taste of it, I always  marinade it with  orange juice and onions before frying it.

Mugs Display #A-Spice-A-Day#35

I've seen this chandelier-like display of mugs at JCPenny.  Me and the kids were sitting in a rest area  by the home department and we happen to glanced at this display.  I was thinking while I was looking at it, what it the pole that is holding all the weight gave in?  That would make a  big mess and hurt to anyone if  someone happen to be underneath it.

Ozeri Green Earth Smooth Ceramic Nonstick Frying Pan

Having my new Stainless Steel pan from Ozeri was a great inspiration for me to cook my family's favorite dishes.  It's a great addition to my cooking  tools in the kitchen.  Imagine how happy I am when I was given another opportunity to  try  another frying pan from them.  This time, it's the Ozeri Green Earth Smooth Ceramic Nonstick Frying Pan.
Description:
  • Unlike other ceramic cookware brands, the Ozeri pan utilizes an ultra-safe ceramic coating derived from nature which is 100% PTFE and PFOA free.
  • Delivers unprecedented non-stick performance without releasing harmful fumes or toxins at high temperatures.
  • Features a scratch-resistant 100 percent ceramic coating as found in nature (no heavy metals or chemicals) that is super easy to clean.
  • Made out of durable heavy-gauge die-cast aluminum with no heavy metals or harmful chemicals.
  • Boasts a comfortable heat resistant Bakelight handle, and a magnetized induction stove safe base for rapid heat transfer.

To show you how inspired I was  in receiving my new  frying pan, here are the yummies I prepared  the day I received  this pan.
I like it that it's deep  so the  oil does not  splatter when you cook.  
Unlike the stainless steel that I previously have from them, I can cook a good amount of food  on this pan without spilling some of them on the stove.

Chicken adobo for dinner. Here's my two Ozeri pans, my new favorite pans  in my kitchen.  Favorite because it is very easy to clean and it's scratch resistant.
If you are looking for a good frying pan  to add in your kitchen, now is the perfect time to buy  this Ozeri Green Earth Smooth Ceramic Nonstick Frying Pan because it is on sale for $25.95 as oppose to it's listing  price of $79.99.  You can buy it via Amazon, just click the link I have provided above.  You can also check their Instavac food storage kit.

Cooking Duo #A-Spice-A-Day#34

After I cut my hair last Sunday, me and my daughter cooked breakfast together.  She normally coked  right away when she woke up but  glad that she didn't that day, it gave us time to bond in the kitchen.  Cooking with my daughter is fun.  Hubby was inspired to take photos of us but the little Miss was not in the mood for photos.

A Spice A Day #34
February 3, 2014
  • Our daughter  has been stressing out every Monday.  She is not liking her computer class as it is focused on "Think Thru Math".  My daughter is really good in Math, what she doesn't like is the fact that in Think Thru Math, they have to figure out every problem by themselves.  When she can't understand the instruction, she gets frustrated because the teacher does not explains or offer to help.  It bothers me because she doesn't sleep weel during Sunday nights so as a result, she is cranky on Monday morning.  Hubby is planning to talk to the teacher  but we talked to our daughter first.  We told her to toughen up and try her very best to figure things out.  We will see.
