Apple Pie - Fruit Pie Dessert

Apple Pie - Fruit Pie Dessert.
If not in season, my kids love to eat fresh apple but when it's abundant they don't bother to get even a slice. Kids are always unpredictable when it comes to taste! Just being a mom, I have to find ways for them to eat nutritious snacks without spending too much on food rarity. When apples are everywhere, that's the time I have to make an apple pie. So I wanna share an easy apple pie recipe that I always do even though apple pie is an american classic dessert but all the ingredients like fresh apples and others are available just around the local grocery store. So there's no excuse why anyone or any mom can't do this nutritious fruit pie for the whole family. If you're that passionate mom, you can try this pie recipe with other season fruits around like buko (young coconut), langka (jackfruit) or mango. One key to have successful fruit pie is patience of kneading. I myself having a lot of sweats when it comes to kneading (masa). I do believe yummy food comes from hard labor. No wonder how desserts like cake recipes and pies are heavenly delightful! Just be patient and enjoy kneading! =)

Crispy Pan Fried Chicken

Crispy Pan Fried Chicken
Fried Chicken, kids always love it! Crispy Pan Fried Chicken is a classic chicken recipe that moms can easily prepare over the weekdays especially on school days. So here I wanna share on how to fry chicken wings. Let's start with fried chicken seasoning, I only use ginger powder, white pepper, and Kalamansi juice. Best oil for frying chicken is no other than coconut oil, my only choice. Once the fried chicken is ready to eat, you can dip into soy sauce, chili and kalamansi juice mixture. But most kids like mine, they love to dip the crispy fried chicken to sweet tomato ketchup. Have enough time to prepare, you can try broasted chicken and southern chicken recipes.  Happy frying! =)
Here's how to make Fried Chicken :

Pescetarian Lunch Meal - Sautééd Squid with Pechay

 Squid Recipe - Sautééd Squid with Pechay.
One day, I've been to a wet private market to buy some sea foods. Right there, I found medium to large size squids for sale so I bought a half kilo of it. Oh how I love to eat sea foods! How about you? Squid (Pusit) is one of those yummy nutritious sea foods that I've always look for every time I go to Palengke (public market).  Here's a Pescetarian Diet idea that I love to share - Sauteed Squid with Pechay. This Pusit Recipe that I've made is a very easy to cook and yet very healthy for you. All you need is squid, spices (onion,garlic,tomato), pechay veggie, a spoonful of tomato sauce and coconut oil for sautéing. I prefer to use coconut oil because it's the healthiest among the existing oils. I've shared an article on JustMom Pinay FB  about coconut oil. Good to know it's a common oil here in our country so you don't have to spend too much just for cooking oil but has great impact to your entire health. I brought one of this meal during lunch time for my eldest daughter at school. I wrapped the dish with aluminum foil for the soup to be kept intact inside the food container. So that's it a must try Pescetarian Lunch Meal idea. Enjoy cooking!

Breakfast Combo Meal - Tinolang Isda (Fish Soup)+ Fried Chicken Cheesedog + Papaya

Breakfast Combo Meal - Tinolang Isda + Fried Chicken Cheesedog + Papaya.
 Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Your body needs all the nutrients for the whole day activity ahead so fuel it with nutritious foods. So here's my pinay mom's idea of breakfast,  Tinolang Isda + Fried Chicken Cheesedog + Papaya and of course the mixed brown rice. When it comes to morning food on weekend since I have enough time to prepare, I opt to have soupy healthy dish because my kids won't eat plain dry foods. So I am serving them with Tinolang Isda (Fish Soup), a traditional Pinoy main dish and fried chicken cheesedog because kids are always kids who like to eat hotdogs so instead of red hotdogs I prefer to give them chicken cheesedog. For skin nourishment, Papaya is my cheap and yet best source of Vitamin A, C, E. For us to get the energy we need for the whole day, I prefer to cook a mixture of white and organic brown rice. My ratio of mixing is 1/2:3 cups. Why I mixed them? Because white rice gives softness texture of the cooked rice while the organic brown rice is a good source of antioxidant and of course it gives color to your ordinary cooked rice. Sometimes, I use black rice instead of red rice to have a variation of my kan-on (cooked rice). 

Tinolang Isda (Fish Soup)

Ingredients
1 pc whole Fish (Bilong-Bilong, local name) 
1 stalk Lemon Grass (I picked it from my front mini garden =D ) 
1 pc Tomato                                       
1 pc Onion 
2 stalks of Malunggay

Direction:
Boil 2-3 cups water. While boiling, add the fish and spices. Let them cook for 5-8 minutes. As about to cook, put the Malunggay leaves then cover the pot for 1 minute. Now, it's ready to serve.

Healthy Banana Oat Muffin with Cashew Nuts + Carrot Bits. 
As the week ended, I did some baking for the incoming week for my  little kids to munch during snack time.
