🇦🇹🇵🇭SATURDAY, DECEMBER 24 NOCHEBUENA 2022 

👩‍🍳Our Nochebuena last Christmas 2022, with my two kids Ronald-Louis and Diana-Grace. Our dogs got presents too from my daughter. I think they’re happy too. I decided to have a raclette or used it for my version of samgyeopsal. Moet for Champagne and Heineken beer for hubby. Samgyeopsal ➡️ is a popular Korean dish. Samgyeopsal is more or less a thinly sliced pork belly and is usually fried with garlic. Here I added beef meat and shrimp. And cheese for raclette with chili. Pork is not good for hypertension. 🙈😅Recipe yields for five persons. We also had kimchi and radish too. The sauce is all homemade. For the sauce recipe please check out here.⬇️

SAVOY CABBAGE-VEGGIE MEAL

👩‍🍳The Shakshuka is a popular dish in Levantine cuisine. A truly versatile one at that, because the vegetable casserole doesn’t suit me with delicious savoy cabbage, pumpkin and cannellini beans or just white beans. do not care about seasonal circumstances. Fresh sage and oriental spices refine the refined veggie meal, with crispy garlic baguette. The veggie meal on this Sunday afternoon.

🇵🇭“LASWA“ with FEW SHRIMP (Vegetables with Few Shrimp)

Why few shrimp? Simply because „eating as medicine“ and „in moderation“. Do you believe that eating or nutrition can heal. And lots of vegetables ideal for healthy diet. He/She who suffer from chronic illness and want to do something themselves to make them feel better, the right nutrition offers great opportunities for this. The reason why for me preferably more vegetables than meat. Today‘s prepping is all about „LASWA“ (vegetables) in which I added few Shrimps just to give a little bit flavor of it.

🇪🇺🇵🇭WHAT‘S ON THE TABLE

Throwback, some of my home food prepping during the time my cousin Gie and her son was with us. During their Europe vacation.

That was linner, the first meal I prepared for my cousin Gie and her son. Oven trout, salad, Sarma ( stuffed cabbage), and knuckle of pork (Stelze) and because we are Filipinos rice is a must!

Here again brekky with boiled Frankfurter, toast bread, strawberry in sour cream, coffee and tea. The time my cousin Gie and her son took their vacation in Vienna. Of course my doggy Mary and Riyad also on the picture.

My spaghetti requested by Noah, Gie’s son (cousin). Bolognese is the sauce I made for them with grana padano cheese plus salad and sliced apples. Someone requested for coffee and tea too.

Food memories brekky a la Pinoy (Filipino) too heavy never again! Imagine; fried rice, longganisa, fried tuyo, scrambled eggs, sunny side egg, and for dipping vinegar with chili spicy of course plus tea and coffee Jesus Christ! What unhealthy life style never again!
