Lean Meat

When I am craving for protein food, lean meat is the best option. Yet, I was leaning on baby back ribs since we bought our fancy grill. Hubby and I had been backyard grilling for days and we even set up our dinners at the gazebo. I have my way of preparing lean meat on the grill and whenever I bought chicken, the skin and fat are trimmed off. Tedious but, worth the effort. Protein is important for nourishment, growth and development of our body. According to the study, white meat in chicken and turkey are good source of protein too. It contains low calories compared to dark meat. For some reason, we still have to find fish particularly fresh tuna to grill. Tuna is in the category of lean meat including catfish, crab, lobster and more. Based on what I read, meat does not contain carbohydrates so; it does not raise blood glucose levels and it is good on a diabetic diet. If the meat is breaded then; it contains carbohydrates. That's another topic to discuss. Let's chow!

Juicy Turkey Leg

On my first visit in Downtown Disney (4 years ago), I saw a group of men eating a gigantic leg of meat. I traced the vendor and it's selling Turkey Leg worth $9.99. I was like, jezzz...how could they eat them without rice or something? I was curious about the taste after all the queue is really long and it' sellable. I refrain from buying I thought it's just ordinary meat!When we went to Disney's Magic Kingdom few weeks ago, our friend bought a turkey leg and I told myself, I will try it. OMG! Delicious and taste like Lechon! It is just awkward to eat a huge Turkey Leg as we walk around Disney LOL. I won't do it again *wink*!Downtown Disney do not sell them anymore and I do not know why. Every time I crave for one, I just go to WalMart and for less than $10, I got two pieces.So crunchy, tasty, and juicy. Turkey leg is better than chicken because it has low fat and it is a high protein food. It is so meaty and less fats compared to the all-time favorite chicken.

Swedish Meatballs

We went to IKEA last Wednesday to buy something as an extension to our pantry. IKEA is a home store where you can buy almost everything that you need for your home. It's a Swedish store but, the business is well-loved by the Americans and me, as a Filipino, oh yeah, I did too! Anyway, first stop? To eat first and then, shop...cool huh? This is the famous Swedish meatballs with smashed potato, it's actually sold at $3.99 but, for this month, they lower the price to $2.99. The cornbread is 2 for $.99cents, drinks is $1.49.Hubby had the chipotle potato soup and corn bread.
Thanks for the visit everyone. I will see you in your blogs soon. This is my yummy Sunday entry this week. see yah next time.

Eat healthy and be happy everyone!

Baby Back Ribs at Chili's

Every week, hubby and I meet up with our German friend who just lost her husband less than a year ago. We take turns in paying our breakfast bills but, I am not a big fan of breakfast really. So, when it's my turn, I would bring them for a lunch or a dinner. It will cost more but, I am enjoying it as much as they are.

I have a $30 GC from Chili's Grill and Bar Restaurant and I was thinking, I should use it for our lunch today. I ordered a half rack of Baby Back Ribs with home style fries and I chose a Memphis dry rub flavor. It was good but, it's not juicy this time. The meat is not "perfectly tender' and it's dry in fact, the meat is hard to come off from the bone so, I did not finish my plate. The last time I was here and tasted the Original flavor, it was so great! Now, it just the opposite but, I just eat it because it's very tasty and savory.

Let's Eat Gumbo

Actually, this is not the normal Louisiana gumbo because there is no shrimp and okra. Other vegetables needed to make a gumbo is everything here. I used spices that I can find in the pantry but, you can actually buy a gumbo mix usually from Louisiana.

Hubby loves Southern cooking so, any food that taste like Louisiana cooking, he loves it! Gumbo is more tastier with craw fish in it. Oh! I missed eating craw fish too, that's affordable in Mississippi where we live.

Ruby Tuesday's Baby Back Ribs

Last Tuesday, we dine in at Ruby Tuesday at the Florida Mall because I craved for baby-back ribs. I ordered the Asian Sesame Glazed Baby-Back Ribs, it's a slow-cooked half rack covered with peanut-barbecue sauce such a sweet and tangy taste. Of course, what you see on top of the baby-back ribs are sesame seeds.

Since it comes along with two sides, I chose the mash potato and rice pilaf. This is a large portion for me so I always asked for a box to take it home with me. I love the rice pilaf, not a big fan really but, this works for me. Will I recommend this for lunch or dinner? Certainly will! Try it! This is my entry for this week's Yummy Sunday! Thanks for stopping by!

Ruby Tuesday: Baby Back Ribs

I had a giftcard from Ruby Tuesday worth $25 and have been keeping it since last year. My husband has kept on procrastinating our lunch date at Ruby Tuesday and most of time, we end up detouring to another restaurant. Last Friday, we went to Florida Mall, and finally had our late lunch at Ruby Tuesday.I ordered Classic Barbecue Baby-Back Ribs which is a half-rack slow-cooked for hours then covered with tangy barbecue sauce. This is my first time to taste a delicious, so tender and well-done baby-back ribs. I enjoyed this meal a lot together with the Onion Rings and fries. I highly recommend Ruby Tuesday, particulary the outlet in Florida Mall. I know this is not a good shot. I wanted to take the sign of Florida Mall but, we were walking away towards our car. Ruby Tuesday Restaurant is near by the entrance and next to Sak's Fifth Avenue Shopping area. This is my entry fro this week's YUMMY SUNDAY!

Yummy Clams

When we were in Mississippi, hubby and I will always dine out in the Satisfaction Buffet at Hard Rock Casino and Hotel every Wednesdays and Fridays. My first food was always the steamed clams at the Asian Area. It was my appetizer but, I can finished 2 bowls usually and no more space for the main course :-). During my younger days, we lived nearby the riverbanks. I had a wonderful time harvesting clams with my neighbors. It surely can save a week's meal. My mother created few recipes out of clams such as steamed, tortilla, omelet, soup and more. Good old days were fun and reminiscing those moments certainly bring back happy thoughts. Ang Kinason, paborito nako nga pagkaon sa bata pako. Mangaligo mi sa suba, uban sa akong mga amigo ug amiga, magdala dayon mi planggana. Kurawon namo ang balas sa ilalom pina agi sa amoang tiil, hangtod mang gawas ang kinason. Amo dayon suroyon sa hinimo nga net, paskang biboha labi na kung dagko amo makuha. Ayaw mo katingala ngano itum ko. Nagdako ko sa lugar sa dakong suba sa Cagayan de Oro, KUK.

I snagged this picture from the Website of Hard Rock Casino in Biloxi. This is the exact ambiance in Satisfaction Buffet. If you happen to pass by Mississippi, get on Highway 90 and have a quick stop to relax at the Hard Rock Biloxi.

This is my entry for letter K.

Grilled Chicken and Shrimp Scampi

Almost everyday, hubby and I go out for lunch or dinner. We love Italian, Chinese and Seafood Restaurants, RED LOBSTER is one of the many places that we love to visit to savor and enjoy the good food. Isn't it delicious by just looking at this food? I ordered shrimp scampi and grilled chicken with rice pilaf. Did you know that their new England clam chowder soup is truly delicious? I am drooling of this yumminess now!

This is my entry for Bogie's Yummy Sunday Meme. Visit her blog and

join us in sharing the food that delights our senses :-). Happy Sunday everyone!

Pork Stir Fry

My hubby loves this food and he calls it stir fry. My ingredients include pork, chopped onions, green and red bell peppers, salt to taste/magic sarap, and Datu Puti soy sauce.

If you are the cook for your family then, by just looking at this picture, you already know how to "merge" them. Bam! Bam! That's Emeril's shoutout! LOL! Just showing the pic, I am not a cook though.
