Cool Diet Food Recipes images

A few nice diet food recipes images I found:

et voilà (& recipe)

Image by h-monk
What I like most about the George Foreman Grill, compared to other ways of cooking meat, is it solves my tendency of overcooking.

Recipe is brain-dead simple:

1. Make a marinade by filling a bowl with soy sauce. Mix things into it for flavor.

This time around I used crushed ginger, crushed rosemary, crushed garlic, and brown sugar. The garlic perhaps should have been roasted a little beforehand to kill its bitterness. I'm not sure if the brown sugar had an effect or not.

2. Get a container you can seal water-tight (zip bag, tupperware something, etc.; I prefer the bag since it requires less liquid). Put chicken in the container and fill the rest of the container with marinade.

I immerse the chicken in the marinade first, then put it in, then fill it up. I don't know why.

3. Let sit in fridge for at least 4 hours.

4. Grill according to the guidelines that came with the grill.

5. Share and enjoy!™

Picnic in Griffith Park - sandwich recipe

Image by DonnaGrayson
Taken on May 6 2007
Two days before the fire

The Sandwich dish I made. Its very simple

Frozen Bread Dough
Layer it in a Spring-form pan - bottom and sides

Place layers of any food that can be semi-cooked.
One the very bottom layer, and top layer:
Lunch meats, like turkey and ham

then layers of cheese slices and tomato slices
(you could also do bell pepper slices or mushrooms)

I also added a layer of spinach
drained thawed previously frozen spinach, one egg and parmesan cheese
I put this layer in the center

Spread out more frozen bread dough on top

Then you only have to bake about a half hour, when the bread starts to brown

Since you are only baking a half hour, don't put anything that really needs a long cooking time
Use lunch meat slices, (not real meat)
And don't use anything that might get soggy when it is cooked

Alfresco enticements
Warmer days are ideal for sharing food and sunshine with people you love.

Filipino Food Recipes and Philippine Cuisines

Filipino Food Recipes and Philippine Cuisines

The Filipino's love for food and tasty, exotic cuisines is reflected in the numerous Filipino food recipes made over the years. Certain Filipino cooking methods were adapted from different cooking styles of the Far East with a whiff of Malayo-Polynesian origins. The transformation of Filipino food recipes and Philippine cuisines to what it is today can be attributed mostly to the influences of colonial rule over the country since the time of Spanish rule. However, distinct pre-Hispanic Filipino food recipes have survived the passage of time since the secrets to these recipes were passed on from generations to generations.

Different provinces in every part of the Philippine region have their own unique food recipe they can call their own. The Bicolanos' love spicy foods - soup dishes mixed with coconut milk and spices, the Ilocanos' have theirpinakbet, while the Ilonggos love chicken inasal. These Filipino food are really tasty when served with the humble cooked rice; boiled rice being the staple food of most Southeast Asian countries.

Perhaps, the most loved and best known Filipino food recipes or Philippine cuisines worldwide are the adobo and the sinigang. Just a whiff of their respective food aromas will send your stomach screaming and taste buds screaming for a taste.

Some of the famous Philippine dishes are the torta, mechado, kare-kare, longganisa, tapa, and of course the faithful lechon baboy (roasted pig). Who would forget the tasty lechon baboy when it is serve in every Filipino celebration, festival and fiesta.

Nowadays, Filipinos are fast becoming avid fans of grilled foods and barbecued dishes. Due to the Filipino ingenuity, some have created various recipes and appetizing sauces which are not found anywhere else but the Philippines. Filipinos love to gather together, visit the beautiful beaches, or they just party around but the good old grilled foods are never forgotten to be served in each of this gathering.

Time passes, but these Filipino foods will remain as they are - tasty and sumptuous. More and more variants of these Filipino food recipes will be created, but all the same, they show in part of the national identity of the Philippines.
