Steamboat Recipe #Hotpot #Stew #Recipe #ChineseFood
This is what I love about blogging, aside from meeting a lot of friends you will also get information from other co-bloggers.
In a syndication we have with one of my Facebook group --- Bloggers Worldwide I encounter this recipe and I was planning to have this in my meal planner.
STEAMBOAT or Hot Pot
Originated to several East Asian varieties of stew. A meal serve during dinner time. Consist of a simmering metal pot of stock at the center of the dining table, where the pot is kept on simmering and ingredients like meat, vegetables, mushrooms, wontons, egg dumplings and/or seafood are being cooked.
The cooked food is usually eaten with a dipping sauce.

To prepare a quick and healthy recipe for my family, I learn how to plan weekly and eating meals at home is the best solution for a stay-at-home budget mom like me. I prefer food that are less expensive but higher in nutrients.
To a plan a healthy and balanced family meal can be done also by a time saver and/or even the busiest people in the planet. So have it prepare, to conserve time and money.

So here are the COMMON INGREDIENTS <---- Click this.
Today in many modern homes, particularly in a big cities in China, Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, or even here in the Philippines, the traditional way of cooking steamboat in a coal-heated hot pot has been replaced by electric, propane, butane gas, or induction cooker.

Top 5 Drinks To Be Avoided #WorstDrinks #DietDisasters
I'm enrolled in a diet plan and after exercising and dieting, it is easy for us to grab a drink just to quench our thirst and tiredness. But after learning this from SHAPE, I guarantee--- you won't attempt to drink again.
There are a lot like this in the market, flavored and infused. Most of this, you can read at the back of the labels have added few extra vitamins but most of it are sugars.
So be careful in buying flavored waters that says it has a lot of vitamins,.good for the body. CHECK THE LABEL, if you see that it is more on water and sugar then leave it on the fridge. DO NOT BUY IT!
How many of us were to believe about this drink, SUGAR FREE and LOW or ZERO CALORIES? Oh c'mon! Maybe all of us were hypnotized with this campaign.
I have a friend who is addicted with cola, she drinks diet coke all day, not thinking that for every drink she might damage her body.
Let us say its TRUE, that it has zero calories and indeed a diet cola, but we have also to discipline our self, that drinking too much of this can destroy our self too!
I'm sure everyone will be shock about this. Yes, fruits are healthy and it is good for us, especially those who are in to a diet.
Let us say, eating whole pineapple or the entire mango and a cup of strawberries and grapes in just one sitting. How many calories you have there? Too much consumption of sugar content but fewer intake of a fiber and proteins plus 700 calories??? My gosh!
Those calories will be stored in our fat cells, now you have to burn it again and again by exercising.
Lemonade in an artificial flavoring pack.
Well you can buy this one in the market. Just add water then mix and there you have your lemonade drink. A cup of lemonade is composed of 100 calories, plus six teaspoon of sugar and zero nutrients--- you are just drinking a liquid candy. Not good, most especially if that pack is added with a magic sugar. Whew! Very bad!
If we're tired we need energy, and to give us that kind of boost we need "ENERGY DRINK".
Problem is that most energy drinks are loaded with too much caffeine and sugar. Even if they say, they have less caffeine and no sugar added but still they will give you short-term burst of energy.
For me, too much is not good. Limit your intake and if you need something to boost your energy and at the same time help you with your diet just drink 8 glasses of water per day, or sip a cup of a green tea and snacking a handful of a walnuts.

It doesn't mean that you are diabetic person you no longer allowed to eat rice or cut out rice to your diet. You can eat rice, but not the starchy one.
Most preferably, a diabetic person is advisable to eat whole grain rice such as BROWN RICE.
Brown rice is rich in Vitamin B and antioxidants. This Friendly Rice Recipe can help you maintain proper diet without altering the taste of the food.
So healthy to eat, and very quick to cook just add some chicken to make a low-calorie and low-fat recipe into a FULL MEAL.

I love this kind of a pudding("lugaw" in our local dialect here in the Philippines), because this dish is a yummy mixed with sweets. A fruity pudding for snack or it can be a guilt-free dessert.

How To Make a Classic Healthy Lasagna
Follow my blog with Bloglovin
Lasagna is a wide, flat-shaped pasta and one of the oldest types of pasta. It is composed of a sausage, ground beef and three types of cheese cooked into perfection. For some, this kind of food is not healthy, because its full of fat and calories not good for the body.
TIPS & NOTES:
What can be more satisfying feeling and affable than lasagna? You can eat it anytime and anywhere, because it's easy to make or even easier to buy because it is available in the market or in a fast food chain.
Be healthy and wise, that's the point I get from Eating Well. You can still eat your favorite lasagna but need to cut some of the ingredients that have a lot of FAT and CALORIES and by adding FIBER from lasagna without sacrificing its flavor.
 |
| (C) Sausage, Mushroom and Spinach Lasagna |
- Light Lasagna Pasta - use this to increase fiber
- Italian full-flavored Sausage - instead of pork sausage to cut saturated fats.
- Frozen spinach - to add more nutrients and add volume to a minimum amount of calories.
- Add more Mushrooms - this is to replace meaty sausages, mushrooms have a "meaty" taste and flavor as satisfying, but have less calories and fat.
- Shredded Part-skim cheese - instead of full fat cheese, this will reduce calories and saturated fat
INGREDIENTS
Meat Sauce
1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4 ounces hot or sweet Italian turkey sausages, remove the casings
2 onions, finely chopped
1 carrot, finely chopped
12 ounces of mushrooms, clean and chopped
2 cloves minced garlic
1/8 tsp salt
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
1/4 cup dry red wine
2 28-ounce cans drained and chopped plum tomatoes
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes(not packed in oil), silvered
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper, to taste
PASTA & CHEESE FILLING
8 Light Lasagna Pasta, 8 ounces
2 cups nonfat ricotta cheese
1/8 tsp salt
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Ground nutmeg, to taste
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsps chopped fresh parsley
PREPARATION
- To prepare meat sauce: Heat oil in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add sausage and let it cook for 3-5 minutes, wait until browned. Then reduce the heat to medium add onions and carrot, cook to 2-3 minutes, by stirring frequently until softened. Add the mushrooms and garlic, saute and season with salt and pepper. For 4-6 minutes cook and stir frequently, until mushrooms liquid evaporates.
- Stir in wine, plum tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, thyme and crushed red pepper. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally for 45 minutes. Leave it uncovered and cook for 30-45 minutes, by stirring frequently, until sauce is very thick. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- To prepare for the filling & assemble lasagna: Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9 by 13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Cook noodles for about 10 minutes until just tender or according to package directions. Drain, then let it cool down by plunging noodles into a large bowl of ice cold water. Lay the noodles out on a kitchen towels.
- Season ricotta with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Spread about 1 1/2 cups meat sauce in the prepared pan. Layer 3 noodles on top. Spread another 1 cup sauce over the noodles. And about 2/3 cup ricotta over the sauce, then sprinkle with 1/4 cup mozzarella and 2 tbsps Parmesan. Continue layering the noodles, sauce and cheese, finishing with the sauce, mozzarella and Parmesan. Sprinkle with parsley, cover with foil.
- Bake the lasagna for about 35-45 minutes until the sauce is bubbling. Uncover the bake for 5-10 minutes, until golden. Let it cool down for another 10 minutes before cutting and serve.
