The Favorite in the House

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of HealthyTuna.com. All opinions are 100% mine.


Let me state that I grow up eating fish everyday. Yes, hard to believe but it is true. My parents live in an island and fish and shellfish is very easy to get. Furthermore, my favorite tuna (in a can) recipe is plain with some sea salt and dice tomatoes. My husband and daughter prefer tuna salad with mayonnaise and sweet relish in a toasted bread. This is very easy to make, and I always forget to take a picture to put in this blog of mine.

Everyone knows that I have my own family now. I have 5 children, and since I love fish so much not a day that I get to eat some when I was pregnant, especially some of healthy tuna. When I was pregnant with my first child, I don't even know the benefit of eating seafood while pregnant. No, I do not pig out on it, I just simply must have a snack or a meal with it.

I know there are a lot of people who do not like seafood including my father in law. The good thing is, he's not a woman because lack of good nutrients from seafood will cause depression while pregnant. Most of my kids love seafood, including my only daughter. At least I don't have to worry about her when she grows up and wanted to have children. Yes, there are fish that is high in mercury, but you just have to learn which one are good for you. And mercury is not the only thing you have to watch for when eating seafood. Educating yourself about anything is the best way to go. Like the saying, "never stop learning", you can't because when you do, you stop living.

I love tuna :) Tuna has replaced my need to eat pork, beef and chicken :) and with the new varieties of how tuna is prepared and processed one could never tire of it :) Plus healthy too :)

Hope you are having a great weekend :) xoxo

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!
