Banana flakes breakfast smoothie

Tired of eating boring corn flakes with milk everyday for breakfast so i thought of a fun and healthy drink this morning.

Ingredients:
Bananas
Low fat milk
Quakers oat flakes
Sugar
Instant coffee

I didnt put any measurements since it depends on which ingredients you want more or less of.

Cut bananas into small pieces and place in a blender. Add desired quantity of milk, sugar, oat flakes and coffee. Blend for a few minutes until everything is liquified esp banana and oat flakes. Chill before serving.

This is very healthy except for the sugar so you can change it to splenda or brown sugar or skip it all together. For those who dont like milk, you can change to yogurt or soy milk. Oat flakes can be changed to any grain of your choice. You can also add ice to make it a shake! Enjoy!

1. Put salt and pepper on the fish. Marinate with italian dressing and put bread crumbs. Leave for about 30 mins.
2. Do the same with the veggies.
3. Steam the fish and veggies.
4. While waiting, mix del monte ginataang mix with water. Heat in a skillet with garlic, onions and some ground pork.
5. Once the fish and veggies are cooked, mix together with the ginataang mix until done.

Eggplant with tomato sauce recipe

Im not a good cook. Ive never even had training in cooking aside from the few times my mom taught me some dishes at home. Now that im living on my own i wanted to learn how to cook. At least just enough not to starve and resort to buying take outs everyday coz that would be expensive and unhealthy.

And so i have invented my own recipes using whatever food supply i have at home.

Last friday my friend and i ate at cantinetta and ordered baked eggplant. It was so good it tasted like lasagna. Tonight i opened my ref and saw that i only have 2 pieces of eggplant left. Inspired, i decided to create my own version.

Ingredients:
2 eggplant, sliced into pieces
1 small can of chili corned tuna
1 pouch of spaghetti sauce

Procedure:
Mix eggplant with salt and pepper and cook til it softens. On the other side, heat the tuna with the spaghetti sauce. Once eggplant is cooked mix them with the sauce and add quickmelt cheese and let it simmer. Voila! Instant dinner!

I substituted tomato sauce with spaghetti sauce to add flavor. I used tuna instead of beef as a healthy alternative. Then i added cheese to have that cheesy lasagna taste. The chili in the tuna also helped with the taste.
