Food Friday

This week's Featured Food Friday player is ...

Ms. Dexie, with her post Blueberry Twisted Cinnamon Bread, on her blog Feistycook (...simply delicious home-cooked meals, etc...)

Looking at Ms. Dexie's shot I am reminded of my mom's cinnamon roll and I wish I can make one myself. My mom normally doesn't use cinnamon much, but when it comes to making breads, she loves adding cinnamon!  It just brings back so many happy memories. Do click on the shot above to check out Ms. Dexie's step-by-step instructions on how she made this delicious treat!

This week's post is something that we have daily (me, usually) and I just decided to dress it up a bit: Rice (served with Bitter Gourd Fritata in this meal).

Ingredients

• rice (i used freshly cooked steamed rice, which was still warm to better absorb the other ingredients)
• olive oil (extra virgin)
• parsley (chopped fine, or you may use dried herbs)
• salt and pepper
• calamansi/lemon juice

Procedure

• Transfer the still warm rice to another container for mixing.
• Add the olive oil, chopped parsley, salt, pepper and the calamansi/lemon juice.
• Mix everything well.
• Serve with your preferred dish. I had bitter gourd and eggs available, so I made something that resembled a fritata.

Instead of making fried rice I decided to make this instead. Definitely easier and faster! lol. It was refreshing (I guess because of the calamansi juice and parsley?) and was lighter compared to the usual fried rice. Healthier? I don't know. Or maybe, because of the bitter gourd. :D

Today is Good Friday from where I'm at ... A Blessed Holy Week to those who practice this religious rite.
