Filipino Breakfast

When i was young my mother used to cook of what we call "CHAMPORADO".Even when we're grown up still she likes to prepare that breakfast for us but she cannot eat it herself coz it's not good for her health,she has a high-blood pressure.Cocoa can raise blood pressure pretty quick.Good thing my mother is being so careful of what she must not to eat & she's very strict how to control her daily diet,like not to eat a whole lot of carbohydrates which is RICE is the basic food in Philippines.Anyway,when i went to visit them last february,i asked her if she could make that favorite champorado of mine so my baby can try her breakfast specialty.She did,i fed my son & he really loves it.So my mom told me that if i come back here make sure i'll bring the "TABLIYA" with me which is the main ingredients of champorado.I did brought some with me & i cook champorado not very often coz my tabliya is running out lol! Here's some pictures today that i took & i am now feeding it to my son & he sure love it!

See!Isn't this delicious?Yummy!Especially if you put condensed milk on top of it!
Hope you guys are gettin' full eating my special Champorado,lol!

My Cravings

Lately i haven't cook any special for my family,it's not because i am lazy it's because food will spoil so easy because of the weather,it's summer!And if it's summer food spoils or rots so quick i don't know why.But yesterday,i went to SMITH'S grocery store to look for something to cook & something for my son too.It's just a block away so we hurriedly went there while the sun isn't so hot yet,we exactly went there like nine o'clock in the morning.I went straight to veggies & fruit stand to see what i can get.Sometimes their veggies & especially fruits are high priced that's why we usually go to fruit or veggies market during summer coz it's a lot cheaper compared to this store.Oh well,i'm not gonna get a whole lot though,that's what i said to myself.So,i got 4 pieces of potatoes,2 pieces of ginger, & a piece of green cabbage.Then i was roaming around to look for more that i wanna get like cinnamon bread for a dollar. Lastly,i went to meat department which i saw the pork shoulder,it's rarely that they have display for something like this.Usually their displays are pork chops,or diced cut.So i grabbed that one left & paid the stuff i got in the counter.Soon as i got home i prepared the food that's what in my mind.I was craving for soup lately so i am sure i would love to have this recipe in my mind.I peel the potatoes,i cut the cabbage,peel the ginger & cut the pork shoulder,& cooked it!Soon as the soup was cooked,i had a big bowl from it & i ate it all gone!Hmmmm,soooo yummy!So,for you not to imagine what kind of recipe is this,it's a filipino food called"NILAGANG BABOY" Here's the pic while i was cooking it.

Lami Noh?Hehehehe.Just message me if you're interested how to cook it.
Happy wednesday friends!

How We Celebrated Our 4th Of July

I really had fun yesterday with my loving family.We went to the park nearby downtown.But before that,couple days ago was really upsetting for me & i was disappointed too coz i was expecting to have another baby coming but it didn't happened,my monthly period came a little late & i thought that because i'm delayed for so many days i am having a baby.But i was wrong & made me so sad.And then my husband talked to me about it he told me that maybe it's not the right time yet,God will surely give us one more it's just that not right time now.Oh well i realized that my husband is right,i'll just wait for the right time to come coz i can't do anything about it & only God has the power to grant my wish.I talked to my sister about it too & she told me the same thing like my husband did,she said i'm still young & i still have long ways to go.

Anyway,let's change the topic.Me & my family had enjoyed the fireworks show lastnight in the park,my husband told me that they do that every 4th of july but i wasn't able to watch the show couple of years ago coz i wasn't that interested but after i saw the show last night i started to plan for the next year already coz when we went to the park last night we're not that ready,we don't have something to eat there,we have to buy our food & drinks,& it's driving me crazy coz it was really expensive.We don't have big blanket too so we can lie down in the grass,all people out there had their own big blankets.Oh well,my first time to go there & here i am planning for the next year 4th of july lol!isn't that funny?So anyway,we stayed there for couple of hours waiting for the 30 minutes fireworks show.And here's the pictures of course that i took while waiting & took some pics of the fireworks....

Mommy & baby in the park My Lovely Family in the park My baby met a new playmate ME & My Son under the tree Just Me relaxing while waiting to get dark The Love of my Life My Lovely Family My pinay friends The fireworks show that we've been waiting for

Hope you guys are enjoying the pics...Have a nice day!
