As Dr. Ken😷* says…
______’s my jam!
In my case, stuffed starches are.
What can I say? I am what I eat!
🎎Asian versions from 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: to promote mental focus
Centrum VitaMints®: to aquire essential nutrients in a tasty way
- 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 Mix: Since almonds helped my bod during my 26.2-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‘s 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 ’til your ♥heart’s ♪content♫ ~ or your grub is ready
Stretch
Relieve those muscles after sitting at the computer desk and before sitting down to eat
Happy Early Halloween, All †Saints’ Day y el Día de los Muertos! ✌

My latest dessert obsession:
*Nutella* Cheesecake from Fazoli’s
Don’t let the solid chocolate look fool ya … This bad boy’s full of flavor!
Combines 2 of my faves:
- Chocolate hazelnut
- My favorite fast food joint
The darker the chocolate :: The sweeter the flavor!
There’s never been anything that I didn’t like from Fazoli’s ~ Italian, I’m in Heaven ~ including from this most recent visit.
Giving Grape Italian Lemon Ice ~ a drink with a contributory cause!
Penne Romano ~ steaming HOT!!!
Yummy Post-Church Meal complete with blessings!
I’ve lucked out with this eatery (which opened in my hometown, thanks to my h.s. buddy’s dad ~ a contractor who liked it when he visited his son in college and decided to build it by their family home) because it’s always been quick, inexpensive and most of all: delicious!
My former workout partner (who now lives overseas for the military) and I used to grab Italian Lemon Ice at Fazoli’s after we’d have a fun run at the park around the corner ~ we’d burn calories then reward ourselves with something sweet, refreshing and healthy!
Classic Strawberry Italian Ice ~ nothing classic about it! #BoldAndFresh
Alfredo & Marinara + Meatballs = YOLO Italiano!
Plus, now that I typically fly solo, I’ve done my work or homework there after hitting the track myself and have tried almost ALL of the seasonal desserts (except for the Red Velvet Cheesecake around ♥Valentine’s♥ Day ~ because it was out when I visited)!
Watching my ☼truck☼ while sipping on this Strawberry Italian Ice Float!
How do you eat an elephant? Savoring every single bite!

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!
I never can pass up what I call 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)
Here’s a new side dish that she whipped up: Baked Parmesan Zucchini Sticks
I now prefer these over the fried green tomatoes🍅 or fried pickles ~ or any other fried greens, for that matter
Who needs mozzarella sticks with these bad boys? 
The Birthday Girl also cooked her special meal! 
Pancit Canton goes well with Lumpia (eggrolls)! 
And let’s not forget the 🎂cake🍰 ~ bring on Tres 🍶Leches🍼 con 🍉frutas: fresas🍓 y 🍍piñas!
Friendly reminder: Pray🙏 just to make it today!

TGIF!
Red & Purple: Color-coordinating with the Paris-inspired wall!
Last Friday night, my Church💒 Bestie, Evie, and I were in for a treat …
Sweets du Jour🗼, my favorite 🍩bakery🍮 in town, offered dinner, so we’re were honored to be their first evening guests!
Appetizer: Tomato Basil Mozzarella Tart
We indulged in a five-course meal.
Soup: Italian Sausage Tortellini
All of the flavors were mighty tasty …
Salad: Pear Walnut with Dijon
From savory to sweet, it couldn’t be beat, as we needed the heat from the cold, even if it was bold!
Main Course: Asparagus Lasagna
Meanwhile, we enjoyed having it to ourselves!
Sweeten the Deal: Caramel Apple Cheesecake for Dessert
Hopefully, this eatery will open its doors again for more dinner parties!
Complete with Coffee!
Bon apetit! 👌
