Breakfast Burrito

During summer, my husband  goes to work an hour earlier than normal since he doesn't have to  wait for the kids.  So what I do is pre-cooked his breakfast so I don't have to wake up early especially if I  go to bed  late.  One of the menu he wanted me to prepare is breakfast burrito. 

You can buy breakfast burrito in store but I prefer to make  my own.  This is basically a rice, scrambled eggs, and sausage cooked as fried rice, and then topped with cheese before wrapping it in  tortilla wrapper.  All he need to do is pop this in the microwave and nuke it and he have instant breakfast.  Hope you enjoy it Hon!

Here's the simple recipe for those who wants to try it.  Tip:  If you can find a Burrito mix, it is much better.  I prefer to just use my own seasoning.

Ingredients:

• Left-over rice or newly cooked.
• Soft tortillas
• 2 cloves of garlic, crushed and  sliced in small pieces
• Some scallions, chopped
• Cooked sausages (chopped) or you can use bacon
• scrambled eggs
• soy sauce (to taste) or you can use salt
• a dash of  steak seasoning

Preparations:

• Cooked the sausage or bacon. Slice or chop it into small pieces.  Set Aside.
• Scramble an egg or two
• Using the grease in the pan from the sausage,  put the  garlic in and let cook till golden brown. 
•  Add the rice and mix it with the garlic.  Add the sausage or bacon bits.  Add some seasoning (soy sauce or salt and  steak seasoning)
• Add the  scallions  when it is almost done.  Turn off the heat.
• Using the tortilla, put some of the  fried rice mix in the middle  and  top it with cheese.  Wrap it.  Serve it while it's hot or you can  refrigerate  or freeze it and   just warm it up in the microwave  when you crave for it.  

Chicken Fajita, Hubby's Favorite Work Lunch #Recipe

Ever since  my husband joined the Biggest Loser contest at his work, he has been working out and watches what he eats.  He pays close attention to the portion of the food that he consumes.  I also prepares the food that he brings for lunch at work so he doesn't have to  buy food with large amount of fats and calories.  One of his favorite that he always request for me to make is the chicken fajita.

 I always pre-cooked it  on Sundays so that when he feels like  bring  fajita for lunch, he can just get it and nuke it at work.  He used to eat four of these fajita but since he is on a diet, he only packs two plus fruit.  

 Some  are asking for  recipe of chicken fajita.  This is very easy to make especially if you have the  fajita mix but if not, here is a simple recipe:

Ingredients:

4 chicken breast, sliced  according to size you desire

4 chicken breast

1 bell pepper, sliced

1 big onion, chopped

1 tbsp coconut oil

cumin, chili pepper, oregano, onion, salt, garlic, and lime juice.  No measurement for me, just make it the way you like it.

Direction:

• Warm the   pan ans add the coconut oil.
• Add the  chicken, let it cook for  10 minutes then add the spices. Stir it until the chicken absorb all the spices.
• Add the onion and bell peppers, cook for  another 3 minutes . 
• When you are done cooking, just wrap it in the tortilla  or you can  eat it with rice.  
• You can top it with  with cheese or sour cream.

Making my husband's favorite lunch  is easier with the Green Earth Pan that Ozeri have sent me for review.  This is the third pan that I have from them and I love all of them in my kitchen.  This one is  claimed by Ms. Burrito to be hers so I only used it once to make this review.  This 8" frying pan  features the texured series  that Ozeri makes.  The  ultra safe 100% PTFE and PFOA free ceramic non stick coating from Germany.

The elevated texture  creates air pockets which distributes heat underneath  food to enhance cooking.  I love this pan just the same as I love the other two pans  I got from Ozeri.  They do make great pans for frying and I highly recommend it for those who love to cook!  You can buy this via Amazon  $23.35.  Thanks again Ozeri for another  great product!

Award Winning Food Cutter from Funbites

Last year, this blog teamed up with Funbites and tried one of their their award winning food cutters.  My kids   lunch which they bring to school  whenever they don't like the menu at school is always complimented because of their fun shapes.  The teachers would sometime  joke that I should prepare their lunches as well lol.  This is the one I got from Funbites last year.

I am grateful that Funbites wants to team up with this blog again for their back to school promo.  Below are their giftable Funbites packaging.  Thepackaging really makes it more appealing to consumer as they can identify each shapes with the characters associated with each packages.

I chose the Harry the Hungry which has triangle shapes.  I only have a cantaloupe  when this package arrived today so that's what I used it for.

My cantaloupe was too ripe so it made its juice comes out when I  cut them with the Funbites cutter. 

I finished  cutting the cantaloupe with the other cutter that I have in the kitchen. 

As soon as I got done  cutting the cantaloupe, my testers a..a happy eaters  tried it right away.

Thai Cuisine

Google provided us $100 visa card for food during our California trip but since most of the food were provided at the venue at the hotel and Googleplex, we decided to use it during our last night in Palo Alto.  The driver of the shuttle bus that  takes  guests from the hotel to downtown was a Asian so we asked  if he knows  an Asian  place  in downtown.  He wasn't from  Palo Alto but he knew a Thai restaurant  so that's where we ate dinner.

My husband love Thai food.  I am not fond of curry but I  can eat it.  It was our  children's first time eating Thai food and I was very surprised that they loved it!  The restaurant is called ThaiPhoohn, it was rated the best Thai restaurant from 2006-2010.  My husband got sweet tea and he  let us tasted it, it was so sweet but good tasting.

My daughter ordered shrimp cooked in coconut milk and Thai basil.

Our son had beef  with Thai Basil.

Ny husband ordered beef with  curry.

I had fish with veggies  cooked in coconut milk and curry.  It was delicious actually.

Hubby toojk a photo of me and  Ms. B  when we were walking to the bus stop.

The photos were taken  by my phone.  I did not bring my camera  so the  quality  wasn't great.  I think I like Thai food minus the curry lol.  Too bad, there is none here in the area. 

Palitaw

My two Burritos are night and day, they are totally different even with foods. Our son love American food while the little MIss love Filipino food. She craves for Palitaw, a Filipino dessert that is very easy to make.  We use sweet rice flour to make this when I was in the Philippines but here I use the glutenous rice flour.  

You can watch the video below on how to make it.
