Ms. Czjai, with her post: Kalbi Taco, on her blog The Rebel Sweetheart.

It has been ages since I last had taco ... not because I don't like them, but because there seems to be something else in the menu that catches my attention. This kalbi taco shot looks real tempting and makes me want to make my own! Click on the shot above and see how you can make yours!

This week's post is inspired by an instagram post (which she also shared here with us, two Food Friday weeks ago) by Teacher Julie, her Banana and Egg Pancakes. I was intrigued with the way she incorporated plantain into her pancake, and I know I just had to make mine, too. I did some modifications on my pancake, though, that's why am calling it Banana, Oats, and Cinnamon Pancake. Or maybe you can call it "Whatever-Is-Available Pancake", since I just used whatever I had at that moment. I had to buy the bananas, though. :P

Ingredients

• 4 bananas (i used ripe saba bananas)
• 2 teaspoonfuls honey
• 1 large egg
• 3 tablespoons rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• salt

Procedure

• Combine everything.
• Heat a pan and add a bit of oil. Put a tablespoon (or whatever is convenient for you) of the mixture into the hot pan. I chose to put a lid over mine and steam it at the same time - found out it cooks faster this way which lessens the time the other side touches the pan (and prevents burning).
• Warm, room temperature, or straight from the refrigerator, I liked it!

I actually cooked this as my brunch a couple of days ago. I wasn't able to eat everything all at once so the rest went to the refrigerator. Eating this reminds me of "nilupak na saba" (mashed unripe saba bananas with the meat of a young coconut), which my yaya used to make. I actually ate the rest as the day progressed, and every time I passed by the refrigerator, though. lol. Yes, it was gone before the day was done. :P

Ms. Luna with her post, Beef Bulgogi, on her blog: Miranda.

I have heard about this dish countless times, but still have to taste it. Korean food is not that popular here at home, but that is something that I hope will be rectified real soon. Do visit Ms. Luna's post (click on the shot) and see the story behind her Beef Bulgogi experience.

I have been seeing a lot of peanut butter-related posts the past few weeks (or maybe am just imagining things, lol), and that's why when I came across a peanut butter brand that looked interesting, I just know I had to buy it.  Also, once when I ordered a peanut butter-banana sandwich (in one of those sandwich stores in the malls) I was disappointed with what they gave me: too little peanut butter and too few banana slices in between the bread! Well, yeah, I think it costs only around Php60+...but still! Hence, I decided I'd make my own sandwich. :P

Meet my Peanut Butter, Cinnamon, Raisin and Banana Sammich! :D

Ingredients
loaf of your choice (i used wheat and raisin loaf)
peanut butter spread of your choice
banana slices

- assemble everything and enjoy! Or you might want to heat your sammich in the oven toaster, before devouring it. :P

I would love to try this with another fruit ... no idea yet. Am not sure if an avocado would fit the bill. But who knows? I'll never know unless I try!

This was definitely a far cry from the one that I ordered at the mall (below)!

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).
