As Dr. Ken😷* says…
______’s my jam!
In my case, stuffed starches are.
What can I say? I am what I eat!
Pho #1
Steamed potstickers 🍜
Boiled wontons (not pictured) 🍜
🍕Italian-style versions from Mami Aya
Basically, these all are dumplings!

While trick-or-treaters may be house-hopping and candy-popping this weekend, I’ll continue consuming my healthy supplements on the ☼daily!
Ginkgo Biloba mental focus
Centrum VitaMints®
I’ve come a long way since my childhood Flinstones chewables ~ which I doubt are the best bet for my teeth with the acidity
I’m still not a fan of swallowing tablets without having water and food in handy
Therefore, I’m all about double-duty of fulfilling my ☼daily☼ needs while freshening my breath !
Of course, I don’t skimp on the actual food that I need to fuel my brain and body ~ which I’m actually including in an analogy between my marathon and my main statistical method (multiple regression ) for my doc research !
Study Mode Trail Mix26.2-mi. course and my mind through my dissertation process , they were the main feature of this snack combo for the crunch + the Pumpkin Spice flavor along with the pumpkin cookies & candy , as well as more chocolate to cover these Brookside blueberries that also benefit the memory !
Speaking of my race, although I haven’t run as many long distances in awhile, I’ve fit in mini drills to keep my energy levels high while I’ve been drained from my dissertation , a.k.a., my doc docs …
During my dedicated eating time (yes , I must make a meal break away from my computer, according to my Bestie Evie birthday advice ), I actually HIIT before I sit!
While I wait for my chow to cook ~ simmering in the crock pot, boiling on the stove, or nooking in the oven/microwave/toaster ~ I do the following quick set(s), to induce more calorie-burning even after I’m done exercising:
Standing ♥Cardio♥
Floor/Mat/Carpet Core
More ♥Cardio♥
Dance
Stretch
Relieve those muscles computer desk and before sitting down to eat
Happy Early Halloween, All †Saints’ Day y el Día de los Muertos! ✌

Minty!
To ring in recent birthday s, I was all about ordering up mojitos
Passionfruit Mojito topped with Cocktail Fruit from La Canela Peruvian Restaurant
First, to celebrate my Tita Fe Passionfruit Mojito at the Peruvian restaurant ~ thanks to my cousin & her hubby!
Then I enjoyed a refreshing Frozen Blueberry Mojito at my own Bday Brunch from Miguel’s Mex Tex Café (Mex intentionally before Tex)!
Most recently, I toasted to my cousin’s birthday with this Twisted Madre Mango Margarita ~ another special from Miguel’s Agave Bar!
Twisted Madre : Frozen Margarita swirled with Mango Flavor topped with Lime and dressed with Chile Salt on the Sim from Miguel’s Mex Tex Café
S is for …
Freebie for my Bday : Mocha Coconut Hazelnut Frappé
More Sweet Treats … this time without spirits:
Starbucks Birthday Rewards
First, from my research university before my BiG #-#: Hazelnut topped with Coconut
Next, from our busiest local coffee shop: the new Blackberries & Creme Frappuccino
Blessed with Rest (sort of) on my Bday … Real quick before I get back into it!

S ummerS alad S eason!
F is for … Fresh & flavorful: Romaine lettuce topped with crumbled feta cheese {Trader Joe’s Olive Garden
I may indulge in comfort foods during colder weather when I prefer to stay cozy and warm, but now that the ☼heat ☼ is on ~ not to mention, the pressure , since I’ve stepped up my A -gamedissertation ~ I’m saving time and energy from cooking much to go raw
A is for … Apple! Added crunch from fruit & nuts (in this case, walnut ½s & pieces) suppresses appetite & burns calories!
Gotta ♥love♥ my greens !
P is for … Pineapple & pecan chips for sweet flavor & savory crunch!
Speaking of freshness, I had a little more time this morning to whip this up for breakfast!

Who’s in the mood for good study food ?
🙋🏻I sure am! 💭
My mom always comes through for me:
After I return ed from my 🎾research🔬 🚘trip , she and my Bestie ‘s mother both welcomed me 🏡home🏠 with chili: Mami Aya Mama Maggie
Today, Nanay cooked this southwestern🍛 recipe, chock full of veggies and meat (her lean ground white turkey)
Mami Aya’s Tex Mex Chili🍲 pairs perfectly with Trader Joe ‘s Veggie Flaxseed Tortilla Chips ! Jalapeño adds that extra kick! #pica
Excellent timing for this hearty, savory dish🍲 while I crank out 💡study📈 on this ⚡️rainy☔️ day !

Happy 🎆Belated🎇 🎊Birthday🎊 to Mami Aya
My Nanay has always cooked unbroken noodles for 🎈birthdays🎁 to signify long life. Usually, these celebratory main courses are spaghetti🍝 or Pancit 🍜 (Filipino dish).
Some of us loyal children out there tend to be biased to our parents’ cooking if we grew up mostly exposed to their food. I’m definitely no different; as a matter of fact, I was so spoiled to the point that I as a preschooler once sobbed at my parents’ friends’ 🏠house🏡 when they dropped me off there for date night, and I was stuck with foreign spaghetti.
While many kids cooked for their moms on 💐Mother’s Day, my Mami Aya insisted on cooking her own special meal. Papa Jun and I didn’t mind. Not only have her masterpieces been delicious, but also nutritious!
Nanay’s Bomb Diggety Spaghetti (she used to put hotdogs to keep up with Pinoy tradition ~ she even made my sis’ separately because she only liked the hotdogs)Baked Parmesan Zucchini Sticks Pancit Canton goes well with Lumpia (eggrolls)! cake🍰 ~ bring on Tres 🍶Leches🍼 con 🍉frutas: fresas🍓 y 🍍piñas!
Friendly reminder: Pray🙏 just to make it today !

TGIF! April Showers with a Chance of … Scrambled Eggs ✌
From ☼sunny☼ to stormy, I’m honestly relieved to sleep in on this rainy day because we all need downtime (something that I took for granted and recently realized is a necessity in order to thrive and survive).
Before I made myself this brunch:
Grilled Cheese Garlic French / Texas Toast : French Toast with egg wash (Almond Breeze Coconut Milk blend with cage free egg scrambled) * grilled cheese (Kraft Colby Jack marbled Big Slice) * garlic garnish (McCormick Perfect Pinch Garlic & Herb ) for Texas Toast
I also fixed my family theirs:
Chill cats waiting patiently with anticipation of good grub …
Breakfast of Champions : Meow Mix Soufflés “with REAL Chicken, Egg and Garden Vegetables”
Sharing is a skill !
Simple and Savory is the Flavor of this Friday!
Final note : good thing that we chowed down our hearty meals before the heavy hail hit! I saw our neighbor cat sprint across the front yard to safe shelter!

🌞Everyday, I greet👋 GOD☝️ as soon as I 😵awake😲 and right before I go to 😴sleep💤 plus any moment in between. As I welcome His presence by opening my window 🌅shades🌇 to bring in the 🌈sunlight☀️, I simply pray🙏
This is the day the LORD has made
I love to wake up to Sweet Annie
Then throughout the day, I’ll pray before 💻working🎤 , 🍕eating🍧 and 🚘traveling✈️ . Prior to 🍱meals🍮, I have series of prayer💒 cards, yet I have a couple that are short and sweet…
GOD is good, GOD is great.
Also, another traditional one:
Bless us O LORD, for these thy gifts, which we are about to receive, from thy bounty, through CHRIST our LORD. AMEN.
Panoramic Park POV 🌳
Following the 🍜feast🍰, I also pray:
We give thee thanks to the Almighty GOD, who lives and reigns forever, and to the souls of the faithful departed, Rest In Peace. AMEN.
Our Groundhog pal also approached us for apples! 🐒
Once I’m about to hit the 🌆sack🌄, my bedtime prayers include the 🌹Rosary💍 and these from my childhood:
Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the LORD, my soul to keep…
Guide me, JESUS, through the night, and wake me with the morning light. AMEN. If I should die before I wake, I pray the LORD, my soul to take. AMEN.
Thank you for another blessed day, LORD!

Happy Friday the 13th !
Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup is where it’s at!
We’re never too old to need our mothers ~ so if they’re still with us, then let’s be grateful!
Add freshly-squeezed OJ to the mix for Vitamin C to combat the cold , and I’ve got it made in the shade !
My own ♥Mommy Aya♥ cold that took its toil and my voice this ♣Spring Break♣.
As a retired Registered Nurse after over 4½ decades, my Nanay attended to me for the first time since I was a child!
Chocolate = the perfect cure to cheer me up, in the form of my mom’s Nutella brownies
I think that my need to be put on bed rest (while my ♥A&A♥ †GOD† ‘s way of tellingslow my roll …
Despite my week ☼off☼ from teaching and tutoring , I had still been on-the-go in the recent wintry weather with my traveling , researching , reporting and photographing !
This juicer doubles as a pitcher !
So much for tracking miles on a fun run or hitting the driving range … for now!
