Healthy Meal!



I don't know what inspired me to cook but today, I suddenly thought of preparing a healthy meal for myself (lol). Oh...I guess it's because I'm sick and tired of the foods being served to me in the office since it consists mostly of meat. It's either fried pork, fried chicken, or a combination of both sauteed or cooked with a certain kind of sauce and seasonings which sometimes is very hard for me to decipher what actually is that dish(lol). For a change, I decided to spoil my palate. So for today, I had a steamed buttered broccoli and steamed fish topped with ginger and onion leeks. I'm sorry I don't know the name of the fish but it's definitely not "tilapia" coz there is no "tilapia" here. :)

I had a good lunch as expected. I like to eat the foods when these are "really hot". It makes me eat more. I never worry of getting fat though as I am the type who is not very easy to get fat and besides I just eat to my hearts content once in a while (hey, why I'm justifying?) hahaha....

Well...just to give you an idea of why I considered my meal today as a healthy diet....

Broccoli is low in saturated fat and very low in cholesterol. This is packed with so many nutrients such as Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, Riboflavin, Vitamin B6, Folate, Potassium and Manganese.

Fish on the other hand is a high protein low fat food (especially when it's not fried), is a good source of iron, contains healthy essential fatty acids and easy to digest. Another important benefit for choosing fish is that it's easy on the budget and can save your time in the kitchen as it is easier to cook.

So guys....what do you think?

Creamy Buttered Mixed Vegetables With Quail Eggs

Image
I wanted to try my hand at cooking this creamy buttered mixed vegetables with quail eggs, one of the dish cooked and served during my son's birthday. I got curious because my son told me that this was the first dish to finish from all the dishes served. I have seen this served on some parties that I have attended before but I wanted to try doing it myself.

This is very easy and can be done in very simple steps:

Ingredients :

1/2 Kilo Mixed Vegetables
1 Can Nestle Cream
2 Dozen Quail Eggs
1/4 kg Sweet Ham
Garlic Butter

Procedure:

Saute the mixed vegetables in garlic butter, add the sliced ham and quail eggs. Pour 1 can of nestle cream onto the fried mixed vegetables, stir for 5 mins and it's done.

Easy right? This dish doesn't cost much, easy to prepare, nutritious and delicious.

A winner! :)

SSS Flexi Funds For OFW's

Few months ago, I'd been contemplating with the idea of contributing to SSS Flexi Fund For OFW's. But the problem is...I haven't reactivated my contributions yet with SSS since I started working overseas. I'm planning to work on it when I go back to Philippines to take my vacation.
I came across this SSS Flexi Fund when I still have the Filipino channel here in my work place which is NBN 4 from which I always had the chance to watch "Bantay OCW" by Susan K. There is a segment there wherein the Chairman of SSS will be interviewed by Susan K to give updates on the latest projects and developments at SSS. This is where I first encountered about the SSS Flexi Fund for OFW's.
The way I look at it, it is an investment opportunity created by SSS for overseas Filipino contract workers to encourage them to save for the future. It is a provident fund and all accumulated amounts of contributions plus interests will be accrued solely to the OFW member. The funds po…

Reactivating My SSS Membership

One of the things in my bucket list for 2012 is to reactivate my SSS membership which I discontinued since I resigned from the last company that I've worked with in the Philippines.  I resigned 2nd quarter of 2007 and decided to try my luck as an OFW.  I did not intentionally want to discontinue my membership.  It's just that I was too busy and preoccupied at that time and this thing had slipped off my mind.  It was only late last year that I finally gained back my interest in reactivating my account with SSS but still, I was only able to start this year (lol).  Anyway, better late than never.   Since I belong to the maximum bracket of SSS contribution already from my previous employer and upon checking the contributions required for OFW's, I've seen that I just have to continue the same amount of my previous contribution  from my last company.  The only difference is that last time, my company pays for the other 50% of the monthly contribution.  Now, as an OFW, I will…
