A Packed Sandwich for Lunch - Slices of Whole Wheat Bread, Ham, Tomato, Cheese...88

Easy Packed Lunch Recipes

Home-cooked food is more tasteful and more healthful than those lunches you eat in fastfood restos and cafeterias. Packed lunches can also save you money because you can extend last night's dinner into your lunch the next day. Not having leftovers in the fridge is also a good idea. All you need is some creativity and some food containers.

Best Ground Cover Plants for Lawn

The lawn is commonly found in the front part of the house. Most homeowners take pride in having immaculately green grass on their lawns. A small fortune is invested on fancy sprinklers and lawn mowers for proper maintenance of the lawn. Lately, most lawns are being sacrificed due to shortage of funds. Lawn grasses are left to grow tall and unruly because mowing is not a weekly routine anymore. Or the grasses die because water is being conserved, too.

Easy Banana Dessert Recipes

The term 'banana' usually refers to the 'dessert' banana with the soft and sweet flesh. The bananas that have firm and starchy flesh are called 'plantains,' or 'saba' in many parts of the Philippines. These bananas are from a group of cultivars, which taste somewhat blandly sweet.

Paring Knife - Different Kinds of Knife

The kitchen paring knife is quite small in size. Designed with a plain edge, a paring knife is intended to be all-purpose, just like chef’s knife but smaller in size. A paring knife can be an extension of the hand because of its size and lightness. It is mainly used for peeling fruits and vegetables. Because it can be used in controlled and detailed cutting, a paring knife is also used in de-veining shrimps, removing seeds from jalapeño peppers, and cutting shapes/designs for small garnishes.

The term ‘sisig' refers to the spicy and fatty - but oh-so popular - meat dish all over the Philippines. It is considered a specialty food because the long and arduous preparation of ‘sisig' is really a ‘labor of love.' But after hours of cooking, the aroma alone can make anyone hungry. ‘Sisig' is best served with a mug of ice-cold beer. It has a unique blend of spiciness of chili peppers, sour taste of vinegar, and the saltiness of salt and soy sauce.

Simple and Savory Turkey Recipes

Whole turkey can be cooked in different ways: roasted (with or without stuffings inside), baked, grilled, smoked, and deep-fried. Turkey meat is also processed as hams and sausages. Sold as sliced, ground, and whole, turkeys are generally preferred bought as fresh by most consumers. Mainly because frozen turkeys, particularly whole and large-sized, often take several days to defrost.

Chicken Saute Recipes

Chicken meat has more protein and less fat--unless you drown it in oil while cooking as in deep frying. Chicken is also cheaper than pork and beef. However, a lot of people know only 2 ways to cook chicken: fry or grill. Some just flake the white meat and toss with green salad, turning chicken into a tasteless source of protein. But, hey, chicken can be cooked into delicious and savory dishes, especially when sauteed with certain spices. Don't worry, the recipes are very quick and easy.
