YESTERDAY‘s LEFTOVER
With cherry tomatoes and chili 🌶 flakes
Throwing away food isn’t just a ways of money it is downright shame. How many of the worlds people don’t have enough to eat?……. Just like in the Philippines 🇵🇭😏
Today’s lunch I cooked mackerel sinigang with zucchini (Mackerel in sour soup with Courgettes).
Filipino palate is a bold combination of sour and spicy sweets. I should say it can be said that it is extravagant because the Filipino food is often delivered in a single presentation, the participant is a simultaneous visual feast, aromatic bouquet and a taste appetizer. Dinner and lunch still the main meal. Compared with other countries snacking is normal and it is possible that a person eats five meals a day.
Philippines itself has evolved over the centuries under the influence of different cultures. It was of Chinese, Malay, Spanish and has been influenced to a lesser extent by American and Indian culture which has resulted in a unique multi-cultural blend of ingredients and dishes. The dishes range from a simple meal of fish and rice to rich paellas and cocidos. Some popular dishes include sinigang, lechon, longanisa, tortas, adobo, Kaldereta, kare-kare, pancit, lumpia, and halo-halo which is good and popular during high summer season.
And for afters we had these fruits avocado, apple and mandarin! 😉
Since I’m diabetic we prefer to have more fruits than sweets or dessert. After all the two kids are got used to it.
And for my two kids I cooked Spirali Tricolore with Champignon-Mozzarella-Peeled Tomatoes-Basil Leaves (Pasta with Champignon-Mozzarella Sauce). Because they don’t eat much mackerel specially if it is cooked with soup and vegetables. They prefer fried or fried with a little bit of sauce.

👩🍳Pure vegetables is my lunch today. Maybe this will be interesting for those who love veggies like me. I added or better to say topped with CREME FRAICHE before serving! CREME FRAICHE- is from the French culture and means fresh cream. Crème fraîche with 40 % fat content is a versatile food and very creative in the modern kitchen. Because the high-fat content does not matter, on the contrary, it gives the crème fraîche the right taste. And since it is used in meals for refining, crème fraîche is a varied addition. Simple recipe potatoes and spinach infused with lots of garlic served with Creme fraiche. How I love vegetables. Home prep meal as quick as that. Thank you so much for watching, please subscribe.🤗

A European way of dill sauce, but my version!
Dill is a (Anethum graveolens) short-lived perennial herb. It is the sole species of the genus Anethum, though classified by some botanists in a related genus as Peucedanum graveolens.
Its seeds, dill seeds are used as a spice, and its fresh leaves, dill, and its dried leaves, dill weed, are used as herbs.
Origins and history
Dill originated in Eastern Europe. Zohary and Hopf remark that “wild and weedy types of dill are widespread in the Mediterranean basin and in West Asia.”
Although several twigs of dill were found in the tomb of Amenhotep II, they report that the earliest archeological evidence for its cultivation comes from late Neolithic lake shore settlements in Switzerland. Traces have been found in Roman ruins in Great Britain.
In Semitic languages it is known by the name of Shubit. The Talmud requires that tithes shall be paid on the seeds, leaves, and stem of dill. The Bible states that the Pharisees were in the habit of paying dill as tithe. Jesus rebuked them for tithing dill but omitting justice, mercy and faithfulness.
Dill Folklore: To the Greeks the presence of dill was an indication of prosperity. In the 8th century, Charlemagne used it at banquets to relieve hiccups and in the Middle Ages it was used in a love potion and was believed to keep witches away.
The name dill is thought to have originated from a Norse or Anglo-Saxon word ‘dylle’ meaning to soothe or lull, the plant having the carminative property of relieving gas. In Sanskrit, this herb is termed as Shatapushpa. The seeds of this herb is also termed as Shatakuppi sompa, Shatapushpi,Sabasige, Badda sompu, Sabasiga, Surva, Soyi, Sowa, Soya in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Kannanda, Gujarathi, Hindi, Punjabi etc.
USES:
Fresh and dried dill leaves (sometimes called “dill weed” to distinguish it from dill seed) are used as herbs.
Like caraway, its fernlike leaves are aromatic, and are used to flavor many foods, such as gravlax (cured salmon), borscht and other soups, and pickles (where sometimes the dill flower is used).
Dill is said to be best when used fresh, as it loses its flavor rapidly if dried; however, freeze-dried dill leaves preserve their flavor relatively well for a few months.
In Vietnam, dill is the important herb in the dish cha ca. Dill seed is used as a spice, with a flavor somewhat similar to caraway, but also resembling that of fresh or dried dill weed. Dill oil can be extracted from the leaves, stems and seeds of the plant. Dill seeds were traditionally used to soothe the stomach after meals.

A month is over since the school year began. It is always a wide fantasy for me what to prepare for the kids breakfast. Should not the same as always everyday. Before, this was my hubby’s problem since he starts his day around six o’ clock in the morning at work so I have to take place. Just to try if the kids would eat scrambled eggs with chopped chive, they did.
This was my daughter’s breakfast yesterday with toasted bread and coffee. Just 4 scrambled eggs, salt and pepper and topped with chopped chive. Chives contain many noteworthy flavonoid anti-oxidants, plant fiber, minerals, and vitamins that have proven health benefits and are very low in calories according to studies. Further, it also found to have anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal activities. They said it possess allicin which decreases blood vessel. Thereby bring reduction in the total blood pressure. So meaning it will help me also…lol…
Chives are available year round. I store fresh leaves in a plastic bag and store inside the refrigerator or even freeze them to presserve.I use to Choose young leaves for mild flavor. Larger ones tend to have sharp, strong onion-like flavor. Chives are one of the most sought after ingredients used for flavoring and garnishing recipes in many parts of the world, especially in the French and Mediterranean cuisines.
Chive have more vitamin A than any other allium family member vegetables. They help body protect from lung and oral cavity cancers. They also have some other essential vitamins such as vitamin C and K. In fact, chives are one of the richest sources of vitamin K, slightly more than that of scallions. Furthermore, the leaves are packed with other B-complex vitamins as well as some essential minerals such as copper, iron, manganese, zinc, and calcium. The leafy greens contain several vital vitamins such as pyridoxine, pantothenic acid, niacin, riboflavin, and thiamin in healthy proportions. Healthy Herbs from CHIVE!
