Happy Belated 🌍Earth🌎 Day!
In spirit of conserving our Mother 🌏Earth’s resources, here’s a pano photo📷 that shows part of my 🏡parents’ 🌳garden, filled with 🌹roses🌷 of different 💐colors! The Folgers coffee☕️ canister stores soil, 🍳egg shells🐚 and other particles for the compost to restore their 🌲land🌴 and produce fresh 🌿plants!
Plus, here are my favorite fruit and veggies:

With last weekend being full of festivities, we were in great food and company! My LMT girl Lisa and her hubby hosted Fight Night (UFC main event: Anderson Silva post-2013 leg injury) on Super Bowl Sunday Eve! Then I watched the Big Game with my Papa Jun!
The commonalities between both meals were:
- pizza (Little Caesar’s & Pizza Hut)
- dip (Ranch & Nutella)
- oodles of noodles (post-fight & pre-game)
- veggies (fresh & roasted)
Fight Night Feast: {clockwise from top L} Little Caesar’s Pretzel Pizza from yours truly * fruit w/chocolate fondue made by yours truly (Nutella & Philadelphia Cream Cheese) * veggies w/Ranch dressing * slider sandwiches w/Dijon mustard, turkey & cheese (either Swiss or Munster)
Portion control: Lisa sliced the pizza into smaller pieces, so more could be up for grabs!
These slider sandwiches were a hit! Hands down: they scored a touchdown @ this table!
Fun fact: Did you know that you burn more calories than you consume when you munch on celery due to the crunch? Challenge accepted!
After the fruit was gone, a fellow cat mama & I turned to the carrots to dip into the chocolate!
Post-Fight: Rice Noodles w/meatballs ~ looks like this yummy bowl is Lisa‘s version of Pho!
Pre-Game: My Ramen w/Salsa + P.I. Cheese on Toast
Yes’sir, I AM the Ranch B*tch: from my salad to pizza (Supreme from the Hut)
Almond Joy Pie: filled w/Nutella but bittersweet due to the Seahawks’ SB loss
My Nanay satisfied my chili craving with this Super Bowl Southwestern-Style Chili Bowl! Maraming Salamat Po, Mommy Aya! Ma sarap!
Add cheese to the mix!
Dallop of Daisy: Add sour cream to the mix!
Add avocado to the mix!
Spoon ready to scoop ~ so ladle it on to lick!
Let’s double-dip those chips!
My mom went happy on kale, both in the chili & in these chips baked in EVOO + in this green drink complete con más avocado!
Again, Context Media Health has been on point, as if it’s been reading my mind ~ this time, about Black Beans & Avocados!
