Sprinkles

I prefer to have my ice cream just plain. I am not fond of toppings even if they are chocolate toppings like M&M or truffle. I have to agree though that fancy ice creams are great come on specially for children.

My daughter loves this dessert from Tender Bob's, mud bowl - chocolate ice cream with whipped cream and cherry on top, chocolate syrup, M&M, gummy bears and candy sprinkles all over.


She prepared the ice cream posted below at home. As for me I prefer drizzling my ice cream with Hershey's Shell Topping which freezes in a second. Yum! Super chocolatey flavor!

The Old Spaghetti House

Like what I have mentioned in the past, it is my family's routine to go to church on Sundays and proceed to the grocery right after. If we're still out by twelve noon, we opt to take our lunch in a nearby restautant which was what happened a few Sundays ago.

(Katulad ng naikwento ko ng mga nakaraang post, routine na ng pamilya namin ang sumamba tuwing Linggo at mag-grocery pagkatapos. Sa labas na rin kami nanananghalian kapag inaabot kami ng lunch time gaya ng nangyari mga ilang linggo na ang nakakaraan.)


Daughter's
We had our lunch at The Old Spaghetti House near our place. Yummy pasta for our lunch. Have a feast. We were supposed to order their funnel cake (or fried spaghetti) but we were so full already. Next time.

(Nag-lunch kami sa The Old Spaghetti House malapit sa aming bahay. Masarap na pasta para sa aming tanghalian. Dapat ay oorder pa ako ng funnel cake (fried spaghetti kung tawagin nila) ngunit busog na kami. Wala nang paglalagyan. Sa susunod na lang.)

Chill

The family that drinks together, stays together. I've said that a number of times. :) From left to right - chillin' at Conti's - daughter's mocha frappe (if i remember it right), my usual yellow mango shake and hubby's iced tea.

Cheerios!

This is what I thought for this week's Photo Hunt theme, "low". Low in fat - what else but the cereals we have for breakfast on some days each week. My husband and my daughter sometimes take them too as afternoon or late night snack.


My daughter was munching on this yesterday afternoon, Fruity Cheerios. I love the color.


Happy weekend!

Gotti's Ristorante

Sharing with you one of my favorite lunches - spaghetti pesto. This came with ceasare and two slices of pizza in thin crust. I had this at Gotti's Ristorante located at the new wing of SM Megamall.

The restaurant has simple interiors which reminds you of your school cafeteria only this is more organized, cleaner perhaps and has huge murals of pasta and some random Italians maybe. The service crews are very attentive. What surprised me was the serving size of their iced tea. I ordered regular but it could very well pass as the large size. I don't have a picture of it though but the server told me, yes, it's their regular size.

Breakfast (Almusal)

I normally list down our food for the week - breakfast, lunch and dinner. Nothing grand but I just want to be sure we are having some balance in our food intake. This helps me also to have an inventory of what we have and don't have. I know if I need to replenish mid-week. We usually do the grocery on weekends.

(Nakagawian ko nang ilista ang aming menu para sa isang linggo - almusal, tanghalian at hapunan. Gusto ko lang masiguradong kahit papaano ay balanse ang kinakain namin at hindi paulit-ulit. Nakakatulong din ito sa akin para malaman ko kaagad kung kailangan ko nang mag-grocery kahit hindi pa weekend.)

This was what we had this morning. This was half of the last pack of cheesedog in the freezer. I mixed it with lots of onions and a few cloves of garlic. It went well with sunny side-up, bread, oatmeal, hot coffee for me and hubby and fresh milk for my daughter. Anything would go well in a rainy morning. :)

(Ito ang almusal namin kaninang umaga. Ito ang kalahati sa huling pack ng cheesedog na nasa freezer. Hinaluan ko na ng maraming onions at kaunting bawang. Bagay siyang kasama ng aming sunny side-up, tinapay, oatmeak, mainit na kape para sa aming mag-asawa at sariwang gatas para sa aking anak. Kahit ano yata ay masarap kapag umuulan.)

Mung Bean Sprouts

It's a welcome surprise that my daughter is fond of togue (mung bean sprouts). She loves this better as lumpia (spring roll). If we have it as lumpia, I like it dipped in vinegar with soy sauce and lots of onions. It was raining hard almost the whole day yesterday and this was what I thought of preparing - togue mixed with carrots and tofu - to go with the grilled fish.

Quick to cook and very filling plus very nutritious. According to Sprout People, mung beans are reach in Vitamins A, B, C and E, calcium, iron, magnesium and potassium. From Associated Content, mung bean sprouts are free of cholesterol and has approximately 30 calories only per cup. Hail to the bean sprouts!
