I'm starting this thread to help our fellow cooking Cebuanos to think healthy, thrifty and happy on the food we eat and cook. As far as i'm concerned if it taste good and makes you giggle like a fat kid missing about cake, it can't be that bad. Just as long you eat it till your satisfied and not till your about to burst and you can't take another bite than that's just gluttony which is very miserable experience. I don't like it and I try to stop myself because I feel like all the great food I ate went to waste with my bloated body state of unhappiness.

I personally believe food doesn't have to be expensive to be be healthy and tasty. Most of the food we eat today are mostly organic bought in local vendors and dishes made from scratch right? We all have those 2 netted bags of garlic and onions in our house and the essential soy sauce and vinegar. If you don't have them and live in the Philippines, you're from another planet hehe.

As you all know, we Filipinos pride our food and our local delicacies. So let's share our family secret recipes of economical and delicious food. To make this uniform and somewhat organized here's the way we should post or more or less try to follow.

If we get a lot of recipes, I'll put up a blog here in Istorya where you can always refer for new recipes.

1. Post Title: Recipe Name/whatever you'd like to say
2. Title/Recipe Name/ Starting Paragraph
3. [Food Pictures or series of picture of how you cooked it]
4. Ingredients
5. Instructions/Just what it is

Post Title: Today's Breakfast: Kimchi and Ampalaya with eggs
Kimchi and Ampalaya with eggs Breakfast

Mom harvested one ampalaya from her garden and was able to scrambled it with eggs. I added some homemade Kimchi I purchased from a friend of mine. The dish over hot rice was such a heavenly experience and I currently addicted to kimchi with every meal I eat. Spicy but delicious.
Ingredients: 2 eggs, 1 choppped ampalaya, seasoned with salt and pepper, kimchi (bought)

I plan on posting more pictures of what we eat. As you can see this is a very tasty recipe, healthy and most importantly low budget. I suggest planting ampalaya and if you watch tons of Korean dramas like me, I'm sure you've been curious of the kimchi taste. I'll tell you this, it's an acquired taste something like out bagoong and durian, you don't like it at first but the more you eat it you start craving it all the time.


I'm looking forward on learning new Filipino recipes/snacks as well as all the varieties of Adobo recipes I'm sure i'll see. Thanks for reading.
