The 7th Featured in Food Friday player is....

Ms. Heather, the blog owner of girlichef, with her post:
50 Women Game-Changers (in Food): #13 Rachael Ray - Orange-Cashew Chicken

The first time I visited girlichef I was really impressed with her cooking skills, as well as her photographic skills. As I browsed further around her site I learned that she went to culinary school (no wonder she's so good!), and her passion shines through each and every post she makes.  Everything is neatly categorized so if you're looking for something specific, you'll have no trouble finding it. Am sure you'll enjoy dropping by her site...and leave with plenty of ideas for your next meal! So go, check her out. Now.

This week's post is something that I have recently came to love: avocados!

I mentioned before that we used to have avocado trees on my father's farm, and so it wasn't a surprise if you see an avocado around dessert time. But, I never liked the way it was prepared back then: mixed with milk and sugar, then chilled. I know, I'm weird, lol. Some family members simply loved it!

This is the way I want my avocado prepared: Avocado Salad


Nothing really complicated about the food above; you might even have the ingredients around your house right now. ^_^

Ingredients are as follows:

  • 1/2 avocado (peeled and sliced)
  • one cup salad greens
  • 1 apple (peeled, cored, and diced)
  • 1 ripe tomato (diced)
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese (which i 'crumpled', instead of sliced)


for the dressing: olive oil, dried dill leaf tips, salt, pepper, lime juice, balsamic vinegar, and dried chili flakes all mixed together then poured over the salad.




 ...had that with some slices of wheat bread (toasted and buttered).

 I had a wonderful time eating this for breakfast...just couldn't get over the fact that avocados can taste soooo good! :P

You can modify the recipe with what you have on hand, of course. I think I could have added olives in there...or maybe a drop or two of sesame oil on the dressing.
Taste is such a personal thing! ;)

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

Ms. Luna Miranda who blogs over at Live in the Moment, with her post:
Callos ala Monserat

Live in the Moment is a blog which not only features food but also shots that Luna Miranda has been taking during her travels. I think I only tasted Callos once...and I liked it! Her post has reminded me that it's about time I eat this again and give myself a treat! If you love looking at pictures and want to give yourself a treat, why not go and visit her blog. You won't be disappointed!

Before I start with my Food Friday post, I'd like to announce that I have finally managed to finish two buttons for those who were featured here during the past few weeks (blogged about it here, and you can also see/grab the buttons which can be found on the right sidebar) . Placing the button on your site is optional, of course. But they do look real cute! LOL

My Food Friday post for today is something I didn't cook: Pizza.
*Do I see a really big smile over there? LOL 

Yup, store-bought pizza delivered to our home... 



Well, I wish I cooked that myself (I tried before, and the dough was pathetic!); but this time it's NOT only the taste that mattered to me, but also the gesture which came with that pizza.

As some of you know, hubby has been assigned to the province (the Visayas and Mindanao areas) for a couple of months now. To some who aren't familiar with the location, well, no worries. It only takes about an hour (or about an hour and a half) via airplane to get there from where I'm at. That's a bit far, in my book. 

Anyway, two days ago my sons and I were feeling bored and lazy. We all missed their Daddy and decided to send him a message. His reply came back and after a couple of bantering we asked him for a pizza. We were joking, of course. But he wasn't since after about an hour this arrived:




We enjoyed eating that special pizza that day.  

Sure, I dream of getting a degree from the primo Culinary Schools in Ohio or other prestigious online cooking schools. But for now? I need it fast and easy! :D



*btw, it was already paid for when it arrived. lol

Sauteed Camote (Sweet Potato) Tops with Rice and Roasted Chicken

My sister bought lots of camote (sweet potato) tops a few days ago and decided to share some of them; I wanted to cook my share with coconut milk but didn't have the ingredients (specifically the fresh coconut milk!). So, decided on simply just sauteing them. lol.

Went well with the roasted chicken we had delivered for lunch. :D
