Dear Hubby's Grilled Pork

After I got out from work earlier today, DH decided to surprised me by grilling some pork meat and making some steam rice. I feel so proud with my honey because he knows that I have been craving some grilled pork meat for awhile now. He grilled the meat just the way I like it, we call this meat (Sinugbang Baboy) in the Philippines. Check out the photo, so delicious!

I'm So Inspired to Cook!

I am so inspired to cook lately especially that I have three days off for the past few weeks from my place of work. Take a look of the foods I made last week. I prepared some fried fish pompano, pork adobo and macaroons.

Restaurants in Central New Jersey

As many of you may already know, I really enjoy food, both making food of course and trying new restaurants whenever I am out of town on vacation. Although I have not been able to travel to many places, the few places that I have been to always have excellent restaurants that serve great and interesting dishes. Just recently I had found out about all of the great places to eat in New Jersey, and more specifically, Central New Jersey. At http://www.gocentraljersey.com/ they have a list of the many restaurants in Central New Jersey, and I have to admit that I was really surprised at the many restaurants, and specifically, ethnic restaurants that New Jersey has to offer. Some of the rare types of restaurants that New Jersey has to offer include Malaysian, French, Indian, Lebanese, Mediterranean, and even Ethiopian restaurants! The Ethiopian restaurant is called Makeda Ethiopian Restaurant which is located in New Brunswick, New Jersey and is one of the few Ethiopian restaurants in the country and it is actually well acclaimed by people who have had the opportunity to try it out. I found out that they have many beef and lamb dishes that are reasonably priced and so far this would be one of the places in New Jersey that I would love to visit. Central New Jersey is also home to not one, but two Malaysian restaurants including Penang and Ming Far East Cuisine, both of which are located in Edison, New Jersey. I would love to try these restaurants because Malaysia is of course in Southeast Asia, and I would like to sample foods from that region since I am from the Philippines. So for those of you who would like to try some awesome cuisine, especially ethnic cuisine, the best place to go to would be Central New Jersey and I definitely plan to go there in the future. 

Fresh Slice Strawberries with Lemon Zest and Sugar

My boss give me the day off today so I decided to make a quick dessert for our lunch earlier today with dear hubby. I made some slice strawberries with lemon zest, lemon juice and white sugar. I got the recipe while watching the show of Rachel Ray in the Food Channel. I was really thrilled because it actually bring out the delicious taste of strawberries. Check out the picture below!

Why Wear a Maxi Dress

If you're wondering why you should wear a maxi dress, let me just tell you that they have a bad rap only because they can truly look like blankets on some people. If you have more of a boyish figure, it can be either good or bad, but a maxi dress looks best when it can accentuate curves, not quite flaunt them like a more fitting dress does. Any loose fitting dress will do the trick for comfort. They are extremely comfortable to walk around, sit and do anything in. They also are really beautifully made and are always unique. If you have a barbeque or family party planned they are perfect for showing off. Even if you are going out clubbing, a sun dress can give you enough movement so that you can properly dance and look cute at the same time. Dresses are a wonderful way to show off your feminity. They can make you feel like more of a woman and can help you build self confidence. Almost everyone's legs look amazing in a dress, and be sure to pair it with a pair of cute heels! I will advise that you should always have a back up pair of shoes when wearing heels since they can get quite exhausting. No one wants to have sore feet or any sores or anything so take the extra time to care for your feet and they will appreciate it greatly. Heels and a dress were a match made in heaven and you should always take advantage of the two. You can really stop a show with the right dress and heels. Take the time and really research the different types of dresses that are available and make sure to find the best fit for you. If you are shopping in-store, don't be afraid to ask a sales rep. They aren't scary and they don't mind helping you decide on what to wear. Most of them love to give fashion advice anyway, so give them a chance! Who knows, you might find some fashion guru that will completely revamp and upgrade your whole wardrobe. If you don't know where else to look, try celebrity magazines for some easy hints. Vegan shoes are also becoming quite popular for people to wear. They are made out of much better materials than other shoes and are very unique looking. I personally love maxi dresses because I find that they look very good on my body type. I also love the art that can be put on them since they are so long. Once I saw a woman wearing a maxi dress that had a famous painting on the front, it was so unique I just had to take a picture of her in it, it was so gorgeous.

Fresh Garden Salad

Dear hubby and I have been very diligent with our new diet plan and so far so good. I hope that we will continue to follow through the plan so we will see the result soon. One of the many things that we incorporate with our daily intakes is to have fresh garden salad every day. In fact, we noticed that we have been extra energetic lately ever since we added this to our daily intake. I am excited and I keep crossing my fingers that we will continue to do this even after we see the result.

How about you folks? Would you like to share any diet secret that works?
