CORN IN COCONUT MILK (GINATAANG MAIS RECIPE)

Posted by Meryl (proud pinay)

Hi guys! I wanted to share with you the recipe of ginataang mais which I had for my snack last time. Btw, ginataang Mais is a Filipino snack made from corn, glutinous rice and coconut milk.
Ingredients:
1 cup whole kernel corn
1/2 cup glutinous rice or malagkit
4 cups coconut milk
3/4 cup granulated sugar

Procedure: Combine glutinous rice and coconut milk in a cooking pot, then turn on the heat. Bring to a boil. Stir the mixture to prevent the glutinous rice from sticking. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally until rice is almost done. This will take about 15 minutes. Add the whole kernel corn and sugar. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally until rice and corn are cooked.

THE FASTEST WAY TO LOSE WEIGHT WITHOUT SURGERY

Posted by Meryl (proud pinay)

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


I want to bring back my slim body again but have difficulty in shedding some pounds. I've tried several ways to lose weight, like avoiding my favorite sweets such as chocolates and ice cream, reducing my food and calorie intake, and I don't even bake my favorite pastries anymore! I usually check my weight every week but nothing has changed! Geez! I miss my curvalicious body!LOL! Seriously, every time I check my weight on the scale, I feel frustrated seeing a lack of progress. I hope I can shed about 15 pounds. I think it's about time to try some weight loss products that I've found online. I'm very much interested to try the HCG Drops Direct. It says on their website that it is the fastest way to lose weight without surgery. I desperately want to try it, really, since I hate having surgery and of course surgeries are expensive! Anyway, according to their website, HCG (Human Chorionic Ginadotropin is a glycoprotein hormone that Dr A.T.W. Simeons discovered could help a patient shed pounds & inches when taken with a specialized but simple diet. HCG is found naturally in the body and has been shown to help metabolize fats so that your body burns the stored fat and allows you to slim down at 1-2 pounds per day! One can enjoy the sublingual drops of it without the pain and of course the pleasure of losing weight. If you want to know how HCG works click here. You may want to read or watch videos of HCG Testimonials on their website with some before and after pictures of people who used the product and be inspired on their success stories. There are lots of users who proved that HCG Drops worked for them and I want to try it too to see how it works for me. Maybe if ever I use HCG Drops and see the visible effect of it, I will maintain my ideal weight by eating a healthy diet and doing regular exercise.

How about you? Do you want to lose weight fast? Visit their website now to order the product. It has 60 day money back guarantee, so there is nothing to lose!

RUSTIC FURNITURE

Posted by Meryl (proud pinay)

Every time we pass by the nice log home in our town on our way home from the grocery store,we can't avoid looking at it. My husband is dreaming of owning a log home or a log cabin someday. If we were to own one, a complete line of rustic furniture will surely match any room in the house which will make it more rustic looking. One item of furniture that we want to save much money for is the bed. We wanted a queen size log bed with red splashes of color and classic lodge look. Seems that this will make the room cozy and elegant looking. We have seen the Cedar Queen Log Bed at scenicfurniture.com, an Eastern Red Cedar Ranch collection which looks really nice and stunning. I love the bedroom furniture at scenicfurniture.com. Aside from bedroom furniture they also have tables, sofas, benches, stools, chairs, decorations, lamps and more. How about you? What rustic furniture would you like for your home? I suggest that you check out Scenic Furniture online and you will see large collection of rustic furniture with great quality and craftsmanship.

TURON (FILIPINO BANANA ROLLS/DEEP FRIED BANANAS) RECIPE

Posted by Meryl (proud pinay)

Turon or deep fried bananas is one of my favorite snacks in the Philippines. It is made of plantain bananas sprinkled with brown sugar then wrapped with a spring roll wrapper and deep fried.

Ingredients:
15 pieces ripe plantain bananas, sliced lengthwise (saging na saba)
half a cup of shredded jackfruit (langka)
15 pieces of lumpia or spring roll wrapper
half a kilo of brown sugar
half a liter of cooking oil

water

Directions:
Peel the bananas and cut them in two lengthwise. Wet the bananas with water. Sprinkle brown sugar over wet bananas. Separate each lumpia wrapper. Lay down the lumpia wrapper and put two cut bananas in the middle. Put 1 tablespoon of langka in the middle of your two cut bananas. Wrap the banana in the same way you’re wrapping a spring roll. Repeat for the rest of the bananas. Tap some water in the spring roll and sprinkle sugar over the top. This will create less "clean" but sugary tops. Repeat for the rest of the bananas. Heat the frying pan with oil and fry until golden brown.

HOME LOAN MODIFICATION

Posted by Meryl (proud pinay)

Do you have difficulty making your mortgage payments? If you are facing great financial hardship because of difficulty in paying your mortgage then maybe you are planning to do a Home Loan Modification? By the way, a loan modification is when the terms of your mortgage, rate and monthly payment of the loan are modified outside the original terms of the contract agreed to by the lender and borrower, therefore reducing the monthly mortgage payments of the borrower. Nowadays, there are several unscrupulous mortgage professionals who set up "Foreclosure rescue" companies. They promise a large fee to persuade lenders to modify desperate homeowners' mortgages. Now, Fair Home Loan Bureau advisors are available free-of-charge to Americans throughout the country! They will assist, defend, and protect you (American homeowners) from loan modification fraud and abusive banking practices. So before you modify your mortgage, consult an FHLB advisor who is ready to provide free help and protection.

THE TOP 10 MUST HAVES FOR YOUR COLLEGE CAREER

Posted by Meryl (proud pinay)

The Top 10 Must-Haves for your College Career

The Author of this post is Velma Baird

Big deadlines, the ability to write your own schedule, and forget a shower or two - this is the beauty of college. While independence is rejuvenating, your experience will be enhanced through 10 must-haves. One of the first requirements in college is a good pair of sneakers. Secondly, a great time-saver is public transportation: get a bus pass. Thirdly, be prepared for the elements. Having a compact umbrella for rain or a jacket for the overly air-conditioned class will come in handy. Fourth, get a refillable canteen of water for any time of the year. Fifth, get a reliable over-the-shoulder bag or a backpack. As for the sixth and seventh must-haves, mobility is everything so get a laptop with internet from www.cleartvbundle.com and secure great rates with your cell phone provider for text messages. Classmates won't call you for study sessions, they'll text or send you an Instant Message. Eighth, invest in some non-perishables. Saltines and peanut butter can come in handy while completing a paper. Ninth, don't underestimate the importance of a good organizational system: shelves, file folders, post-it notes, etc.. Lastly, if anyone wants to buy you a gift, request some gift certificates. Cash will probably be tight and there's nothing like a Starbucks card to give you an extra boost to complete your assignments! These must-haves will make the most of your college experience.

PUTO BREAD RECIPE

Posted by Meryl (proud pinay)

I made puto bread 2 months ago and it was a hit! My friends loved it when I made some for the birthday party of my friend's son. I baked it instead of steaming since I have no steamer available that time. By the way, puto is a steamed rice cake popular in the Philippines.I got the puto bread recipe from allrecipes.com and I want to share it with you too.
Ingredients:
* 2 3/4 cups cake flour
* 1 1/4 cups white sugar
* 2 tablespoons baking powder
* 1/2 cup evaporated milk
* 1 cup water
* 2 eggs
* 1 cup margarine or butter, softened ( I use butter)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. Mix together the cake flour, sugar and baking powder. Pour in the water and evaporated milk and stir well. Mix in the eggs and butter or margarine.
3. Pour the mixture into molds or muffin pans. Find a baking pan that your muffin pan will comfortably fit in. Pull the oven rack out a little (perhaps 1/4 out of the oven) and place the baking pan (with the muffin pan inside it) on the rack. Pour about 4 cups of hot tap water into the baking pan which holds the muffin pan. Then slide the rack completely into the oven.
4. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for about 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Be VERY CAREFUL not to burn your hands with hot water or steam when you remove the muffins from the oven. Top with grated cheese.

I WILL MISS MY DAD

Posted by Meryl (proud pinay)

My dad passed away on August 6. How I wish I was there to take care of him and hug him during the last days of his life. I'm so much in deep pain right now and cry every single day. I can't accept the fact right now that on my next vacation back home, he is no longer there. I remembered last year, I was surprised when my dad who has a very hard time climbing up the stairs popped out of the computer screen for the very first time (our computer in the Philippines is located upstairs and it's hard for my dad to climb since he has rheumatism and diabetes that affected his legs) just to ask when will be my plan of having a baby because he wanted to see his grandchild before he died. My husband and I had no plan of having a baby yet during the first few months of my stay here in the US so we could spend time together as husband and wife but eventually we decided to make a baby. I'm so glad when I just gave birth last month but so sad that my dad was not able to see my baby in person though he saw my baby in the webcam. I really didn't expect that my dad would be gone this soon. I really felt so bad not to be able to see him on his last days. To my dear dad, wherever you are, I will really miss the days when our family is complete. I love you and I miss you so much.

PASSION PROFILES

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


When I was still single, my friends teased me that my husband will starve because I don't know how to cook. But when I got married, I learned how to cook on my own and surprisingly I discovered that I have a talent for cooking. LOL! My husband loves my recipes and when I cook occasionally for my in-laws and my husband's friends they even compliment me on the dishes I cooked for them. I already tried cooking a lot of dishes since I got married and I am very passionate about it. I also love experimenting with new dishes because mostly it turns out great and so I have become intrigued by cooking. Whenever my dishes turn out great I write or type the recipe in my computer so I will not forget all the ingredients and corresponding measurements and I even blog about it sometimes. Some of the readers of my blog even tried my recipes and I got great comments from them, and so it is really encouraging in my part to try more recipes. By the way, I wanted to share with you one of my favorite recipes to cook. It's called Chicken Afritada. This is the very first recipe I cooked for my husband and in-laws and it was a hit! I actually blogged about it and you can read my recipe here. I also received good comments from this recipe too. I really do love cooking and it is my passion! By the way, speaking of passions. I suggest you visit www.passionfiles.ca.

I heard sad news from back home that my dad's tummy is getting bigger because of cysts. The doctor told my family that my dad's case is hopeless and so I feel so sad about it. He will go back home tomorrow after several weeks of confinement and will just take some medications. A private doctor will just service him at home. I am hoping and praying that a miracle will happen and that my dad will recover soon.

FUN AT THE MOULIN ROUGE

Posted by Meryl (proud pinay)

Fun at the Moulin Rouge

Thanks for the post from Al Mills

My favorite chick flick is Moulin Rouge, which stars Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor among many other talented actors and actresses. Yes, it's a musical and it's all about love, which is probably what makes it a chick flick. But I know a few guys who enjoy the movie, too. I mean, Nicole Kidman is beautiful to watch and Ewan McGregor is funny and fresh.

I watch the movie every chance I get, and since I have one of the best cable tv deals in Washington, I find that I have quite a few opportunities to see it. I even hosted a "Moulin Rouge" party a couple of months ago, and my girl and guy friends came to watch the movie, eat good food and just have a good time.

Maybe the best thing about the movie is the music. Baz Luhrmann, who wrote and directed the movie, used popular songs instead of writing new pieces. I don't know arranged the songs, but they did a great job. I even bought two different CDs of the music from the movie. Nicole and Ewan are unexpectedly good singers, and the other actors are good, too. It's an all around good movie and I recommend it to anyone--chicks or guys

RAMBLERS WAY, MADE IN AMERICA

Posted by Meryl (proud pinay)

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

I miss the small town where I lived and grew up. I remember during my childhood days, my mom usually asked me to go with her to the main street usually every weekend where we would go grocery shopping in a small grocery store. There are also other small stores nearby that we would visit. But a few years ago, there were bigger stores and malls sprouting up along the main street. Some of the small stores actually shut down because of the competition with the bigger stores and malls. It's saddening that even my favorite small grocery store in town where my mom and I usually shopped since I was a kid closed down. It seems that my town was distressed due to the bigger stores and malls that popped up. How I wish my old town was preserved. Anyway, a family business wool apparel store called Ramblers Way Farm is changing the way American business is done. They brought manufacturing facilities into distressed small towns and are helping to revitalize the communities and so I am impressed with the goal of this company. Ramblers Way sources, grows, and produces their fine woolen apparel using 100% domestic resources meaning they use workers, land and tools from American soil itself, truly Made in America. They pay homage to America's rich history as a textile producer, while breathing new life into the domestic wool industry, through their collaboration with farmers and producers around the country. I suggest you visit their website and check out their soft, comfortable next-to-skin worsted wool apparel raised entirely on American soil which is of high quality.

WHY TRY VIRTUAL DATING?

Posted by Meryl (proud pinay)

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


I've read some interesting media quotes today about virtual dating that say:

People who go on virtual dates first tend to like each other more when they meet and are two times more likely to go on a second date.
Computer-based communication results in more self-disclosure, and can be more effective than face-to-face interaction at early stages of a relationship.

The above quotes are according to the European Journal of Social Psychology and I so agree with what the quotes say. I've have some friends and have known some people who tried virtual dating. Some ended up in a happy marriage and have grown a family. Their love stories are so successful that they inspire their friends and relatives to try virtual dating too. How about you? Have you experienced virtual dating? Smingle.com is one of the virtual dating sites where you can join and mingle with single people online in a fun and exciting way.

THANK YOU FOR THE PRAYERS

Posted by Meryl (proud pinay)

I would like to thank my friends who offered prayers for my dad who is bedridden now. Hope he will be healed by our good Lord and that a miracle will happen to him. For those of you who don't know yet about my dad's situation, he has been confined in the hospital for weeks now and the doctors diagnosed that most of his organs such as liver, kidney and lungs have cysts and nodules. He has stones in his gall bladder and his adrenal glands are not functioning well too. The doctors says that he can't undergo an operation since most of his organs are not functioning. Again, thank you for the prayers and hope that he will recover in God's name.

ONLINE DATING SITES

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


Most people nowadays use online dating site services to meet new friends and even try their luck in searching for the right person to be their partner in the future or what some call "soulmate." Such a service can be really helpful. I've known several couples who ended up in a happy marriage through online dating sites and their love stories are truly inspiring. By the way, are you a single woman or man? If you are one of the singles out there who is looking for a partner I suggest you try Shop4Guys.com and Meetlocals.com. These are two new adult dating sites that just recently launched and each of them offers two different levels of paid membership upgrades, consisting of silver and gold status, with some cool features to boot. These sites are very helpful especially for those who are looking for serious relationships. Do you know that there is supposedly a couple of celebrities using the services? You might have seen the one-time couple, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt or simply "Speidi" on the hit reality MTV series "The Hills," but the couple is rumored to have recently called it quits due to problems in their relationship. Anyway, both of them are ready to mingle with other singles and according to my sources, Heidi tweeted on June 22nd that "maybe being single wasn't such a bad idea after all," followed by a link to Shop4guys.com while Spencer tweeted on the exact same day, just 30 minutes later saying "HAH!! while Heidi shops, I'm meeting hotties on," followed by a link to Meetlocals.com.

I suggest that you try these two dating sites. Who knows, you might meet the woman or man of your dreams. So what are you waiting for? Join now!
