What’s for Dinner?

1. I am the answerer and every 21time my family will ask me what is for Dinner? My brain just start imagining food recipes, ingredient that I have in my pantry and how can I make this food delicious and appetizing!

   2. I always tell them it will be a surprised because sometimes I am not sure if I have the ingredients and Thank goodness every member of my family is not picky! I am the decision maker in selecting what kind of food are we having for dinner! During the day time I will look at few Recipe's or if given a chance I watch Rachael Ray Show or The Chew! Both of this shows really influence me a lot and discover a lot of easy recipe's here!  At Rachael Ray website you can pin the Recipe to your favorites with The Chew I print it and save it in my file! Honestly I look at recipe's that are easy and fast to prepare 30-45 min  preparation and cooking!       

3. The good  Dinner for me is having all the recipe's, having enough time to cook the food and the food came out delicious and healthy!  I can tell this when my family finish their meal and they look very happy! Bad and Ugly is the same for me! Take out food like what we had yesterday! This is the most  horrible Thai food we ever had Dumpling is so mushy, Garlic Chicken and Basil Chicken doesn't taste fresh and lastly the food stink. Not so happy about this my kids did not finish their food and complaining after 1 hour that they are hungry again! We are all so thirsty all night and feel nauseated.

4.  Having the best and rights Ingredients, Time Consuming and making it really appetizing are the challenges that I face  everyday! I just wish that it is so easy to order ingredients that you can get it right away, ingredients are already slice and everything is measured perfectly! Having all this help will save me more time and that means more time for my family and self!

5.  This is one of the Tools that I discover that help me alot when slicing and picking up vegetables, fruits, nuts, seafoods and even meats the name is Bench Scrape Shovel!With this tool too it is very hard for you to cut your fingers!

6. a.  This is our weekend unfortunately my kids is not around for 1 week because my parents want to spend time with them for a week.  The first Picture is I make a Deep Fry Chicken, Bake Mac,  dessert is Mochi and this is the time that we can drink our favorite Wine because kids is not around. Second Picture is a weekday menu very easy and fast Chicken Adobo with Jasmine Rice.

b.  We had a great time, very relaxing and happy. I also guess because my kids is not around the house is so quiet, clean and organize and we had a very quiet dinner.

7.  Honestly the Preparation and Time really bother me but seeing my family happy, I feel so proud that I can cook great food and knowing that they are eating healthy/ nutritious food. Just hoping that I will be spending more time with my family, watching TV shows with them rather than spending half of my night cooking and cleaning up the kitchen. 

        

Food for Thought

Blog #2: Food for Thought

1.      

 I choose this two images because good food make me feel good and look forward in sharing this with my family. For me food is a big part of my life and my family! Having nutritious, delicious and healthy food will help me physically because my body will feel better, fight all the disease and make me feel young. Emotionally because I believe that everything start inside your body so if you are nourishing your body with the right food it will have a big impact in your body!. Socially because if your body is nourish well your soul is the same too and it will be easy to deal with people if you feel confident with your self!

2.      

Honestly every time I prepare/cook food inside my house I always make a different representation! For example when I make spaghetti and meatballs I always separate the Pasta and the sauce. I will place the pasta first then two meatballs for the eyes, pasta sauce as the mouth and the nose, another two meatballs for the ears and lastly I will spread the pasta a little bit as the hair.  I love to do this because I saw that my kids eat their food when it is entertaining for them. Me and my husband enjoy it too because we feel like we are kids again. This is a very easy set up and everybody can do it! This is a simple meal but if you try it, it can be entertaining!

3.      

A perfect meal for me is it have to be nutritious, healthy, easy to prepare and enjoyable to it! My recipe for this will be Oven Bake Chicken, mashed potatoes, tossed salad and plantains (I know it sound weird but my family love Plantains!) Bake chicken for protein and it have less oil, mashed potato have a carbohydrate to make you feel full, tossed salad for minerals and vitamins and lastly Plantains for Potassium ( Also this serve as a dessert for us!) This is a perfect meal because it is healthy and nutritious and this is what my family need! I always do my grocery shopping every saturday morning and everything that I will cook for the week is in my list. My family will be sharing all my grocery list. This will be served all my house and I will be hoping that all in my list will be used for a week! This kind of meal is prepared almost everyday in my house the only reason I cant prepare this is when I am out of town or I need to have a late meeting which is very rare in my schedule! I know all the meals that I prepare really help me to be more energetic, focus, sane and happy. Sharing this meal to my family everyday is very memorable to me! I treasure every moment that I spend with them!

Ordering fast food  is not a perfect meal for us because I know they are not healthy, too much hormone on it and we know that it is not good for our body. For example I just order Boston Market Chicken and their side dishes! We are so disappointed because the chicken taste old and dry, the side dish is very salty like the mashed potatoes and greens! Every thing look weird when  we open the bag. "It look like somebody shake it so bad that the chicken got drunk!"  This is a fast food chain and food are prepared without care that is why the food is becoming worst and worst. They buy it in bulk and they don't really care as long as they can served food to customer. We hardly do this only when I know I won't be able to cook our dinner! Every time I will have this kind of food for dinner I really feel tired and want to bed right away! Sometimes I feel very hungry in the middle of the night!

Me, Myself & I

Hi I am Cristina! I live in New Jersey with my husband, two kids  and two funny Paw! My daughter is 9 yrs old and my Son is 6 Yrs old! I work in Manhattan in a small Engineering company as an Office Manager. I am so involved in my kids school right now and I do volunteering most of the time! I am also an animal advocate and try to help the shelter nearby as much as I can. I am so dedicated in Yoga because this help me to live a stress free life and to be more active!

This are the two objects that reflect who I am! My yoga Mat because I believe that stretching, having peace of mind and meditating will really help your inner body to be healthy. Knowing your inner self will give you better interaction with the people around you! Second is my Salt Lamp because this give my room the relax atmosphere and the enough light that my body desire!

This is the right time to ask me! Stress is the only thing that come out in my mind right now. It is a very hectic day today both of my kids are sick, can't find somebody to take care of them and need to be at work today. My husband is out of town so decided to bring them at my work and leave work after the meeting. My life is very hectic and stressful every day but I always look at the bright side because I am happy that my kids are both healthy and obedient kids. My husband is a hands on Dad too and every dinner we make sure that we enjoy it and we share whatever happen to our day.

My kids and my two Paw really bring me Joy everyday. They give me energy and to look forward for the future! Honestly preparing their food every morning make me feel so secure and contented that they will be ok the whole day! Everyday that I go home I feel so glad that I was able to go home before them and prepare dinner for them! It is like assurance that I am good Mom because I was able to perform my duty outside and inside the house. When I was single I don't care about this things because I always eat out and I am not looking forward to go home because it is empty nest!

 I really feel horrible every time I can't prepare food for them in the morning because I need to leave early or I am out of town. Letting my husband prepare dinner or order food make me feel so bad too! I always want the best for my family and make sure that they eat healthy food! I wish I can be just a stay home Mom so I will never miss a thing! 

 I will love to have an extra time between 5:00PM to 6:00 PM because I love to cook and most of the time I am rushing and I know if I will spend more time in the kitchen I can cook a four course dinner and we can enjoy our meal more! After a little date night with my husband and a glass of wine will be perfect and desirable!
