Have Fun While Helping Others

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Wheat Food Council. All opinions are 100% mine.


I have used whole wheat flour in some of my recipes in this blog. The consistency is a little heavy, but it works the same. I have used it with my sugar cookies and dinner rolls recipes. Remember I mentioned before that I wanted a grain grinder before? Yes, it would be nice to grow my own and grind it myself. My parents grind their grains when I was little, and I think it’s the best way to be healthy. However, there a lot who don’t have land to plant something and rely on their local grocery store for everyday needs.

I am talking about wheat because I wanted you to visit “How Wheat Works”. They are running an interactive program to educate us on how wheat gets to our local grocery store. You can virtually plant wheat, each of four phases takes a few minutes to complete. For each participant, the Wheat Foods Council will donate two pounds of flour and up to 90,000 pounds to Operation Homefront, a non-profit organization that provides assistance to needy U.S. troops and their family. Not only we can learn how to grow wheat virtually, we also help people in needs. This program is also being extended to youth through www.wheatfoods.org.

Pork Chop Teriyaki (Grilled or Broiled)

Image
1/4 cup packed brown sugar 1/4 cup soy sauce 3 Tbsp unsweetened pineapple juice 3 Tbsp red wine vinegar 3 garlic cloves, minced 1 tsp lemon juice 1 tsp ground ginger 1/2 tsp pepper 4 or 5 pork chops In a small bowl, combine the first nine ingredients. pour 3/4 cup into large resealable plastic bag; add pork chops. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 1 hour, turning occasionally. Set aside remaining marinade for basting. Brush grill rack with cooking oil before starting the grill. Drain and discard marinade. Place pork chop on the rack. Grill, covered, for 5 minutes. Brush with reserved marinade. Grill 15-20 minutes longer or until golden brown. It depends what kind of oven you have. Some oven you only turn the knob to broil other you need to set the temperature. But I usually broil with the temperature of 400 degree F. Or broil set on low because on high it tends to burn the meat fast. You can substitute this with chicken and meaty fish also.

Paksiw & Strawberry Banana Smoothie

Image
This is my FTF entry for this week. Paksiw (sour broth) frozen baby bonito (tulingan). I settled for frozen ones, because this is very hard to find in my area. Always eaten with ton of rice...lol I don't have any other vegetables to mix with it but the pepper. I was lazy to go out (shopping) with the heat we are having. And for dessert; strawberry banana smoothie. I was weeding my vegetable garden today and I was sweating a lot. What a nice drink to have! Very filling (sweet) and refreshing after soaking under a hot sun. For more FTF images, just follow the image below.

Stuff Sweet Peppers

Image
This is my third time making this. I used red bell peppers the last I made some and you can see the images of that dish here . This time I blanched the peppers because DH was complaining last time that the peppers are not cook. And this time added some mozzarella on top too. I like it with cheese and I will make this with cheese from now on. DH only ate half of one and our kids ate the stuffings. I only wish they eat food the way I do. However, I don't have any problem with them when it comes with desserts. For more FTF entrees, please give Ms. Willa's blog a visit by following the image below. Have a great weekend!
