My Hearty Lunch

I woke up late so I decided to have brunch. My husband finds my combo food selection as weird hahaha. I have yet to cook my steamed rice so; since I have a macaroni salad, that will be perfect for my porkchop while waiting for my rice to cook. Oh my goodness, this fills me up.

Appetizing Snacks for the Week

I just want to share the photos of snacks that keeps me busy lastweek. I wanted to make BIKO but, I saw how to make LATIK in youtube video. That sweetness is all I need for the steamed MALAGKIT. I sprinkled with some nuts and boy, I was a happy camper.

While visiting Missouri and actually able to shop in an Amish Store, I was looking for macaroni salad. I bought a tiny pack but, when I tasted the food, it was not as delicious as the photo below. Last Tuesday, hubby and I went to WalMart just to buy the Amish Macaroni Salad. The taste is sweet but, not overpowering. Check it out at WalMart and this yummy macaroni salad can be found near the Deli area.

These are home baked cinnammon rolls. It is so easy to prepare and the brand is Pillsbury.

If you check out the frozen aile in any grocery stores, you can buy these yummy cheese sticks. Eat it while it is hot because it could turn into gummy when it is cold (wink)!

These snacks simply fills my growling tummy. What's yours? Share it here. I love to read it. Thanks for stopping by.

Fine Dining at Red Lobster

Sea foods. When I crave for one, Red Lobster is the answer. Here is the tender and juicy Garlic Shrimp Scampi which is oven-broiled in garlic butter sauce.
This platter has Farm-Raised Catfish in golden-fried, shrimp scampi and delicious scallops with wild rice pillaf.
the Bahama Mama which is a specialty drink...Fresh, crisp romaine lettuce tossed with Caesar dressing
...more salads......my favorite scallops...

Remember, stay healthy for 2012. Have a blessed new year everyone.

Red Lobster at Merrit Island

The address 215 E Merritt Island Causeway, Merritt Island, FL is about 50 minutes from Orlando but, when we are in Cocoa area, the Red Lobster in this location is our favorite place to visit.‎ The location is along the highway and easy to navigate in every direction that we want.The location is very convenient and the servers are good in what they do. The picture above is a specialty drink called Bahama Mama which is a frozen blend of tropical fruit flavors and mixed with Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum, topped with a splash of Myers’s dark rum, simply my favorite. Anyway, the manager is polite and the place is clean. Our last visit was a bit chaotic due the fact that our table was located near a family with 4 children who were a little bit unruly. But, as soon as they left the restaurant, the busser tidy the area. The famous cheese biscuits of Red Lobster....Live lobster which you can order fresh...The building in itself...We found this location when we are searching for Olive Garden. At that time, the latter was full with guests and since we are famished, we tried Red Lobster and we found a table for two. Both are my favorites.

My Favorite Salad

One of the places that I went to visit is Gaisano City simply because I miss the Lighthouse Buffet. Here's two bowls of salad that I crave for many months. I like their suman and puto and most of all, I so love their Maja Blanca and Cassava Cake.
My last visit seemed different. The food is a lot tastier back then. Anyway, i enjoyed my food and I was having a blast during my few visits. Thanks for stopping everyone!

Amish Macaroni Salad

Do you have a Walmart Store nearby? Check this product because it is very delicious and it taste like a Filipino version of Macaroni Salad which is so flavorful.This product is made by Amish People. It will be a long story to tell about this group but, I will save that in my other blog. For now, I will just recommend this product so you can try.This container is less than $3, good for lunch or dinner. Of course, for a Filipino like me, this is just a snack:-) Amish products are healthy, mostly no preservatives or additives, and purely organic.
