Meat con salad

AKO'y NAHUHUMALING SA... chili and garlic with oil





Minsan sa buhay ko, naisip ko: "Eh kung maging vegetarian kaya ako?" Pero sa oras ding yon, may bumulong sakin... "Lei nananaginip ka, nagiilusyon at nagdedeliryo."

TAMA NGA NAMAN ang boses na bumubulong. Ito'y dapat pakinggan dahil masisira siguro ang ulo ko kung di ako makakain ng kahit anong meaty... MEATY... at MEATY.

A meal without meat is a not a meal. It can be a snack, a munch, pica pica but a day without meat... is suffering.
Seriously, it is so amazing how I can pass on all of those sugary-white-flour-and-carb-filled-desserts. I can survive a lifetime without eating cakes, chocolates and candies. But pag chicken, eggs, bacon, sardines, tuna at beef na ang wala, parang kinuha na rin ang kaluluwa ko.

breakfast - meaty protein = cranky lei.
cranky lei = pastries + orange juice + fruits + doughnuts + pancakes and waffles for breakfast.

It's not that I don't like fruits and veggies, its just that meat is the heart and soul of a meal!!!!


Kaya naman 2days ago, eto ang aking breakfast lunch and snack.

I craved for veggies and grilled chix so ayan salad na magkasing dami ang toppings at salad. hehe..

ANYONE NA KILALA AKO knows that I HATE... HATE... HAAAAAAAATE cold salad dressings... (xept na lang pag home-made na masarap talaga). But madalas if I eat out wala ng choice diba? KAsi its hard to eat greens w/o anything coz they are in their death beds, di na fresh, iba na ang lasa.

Since fairly fresh pa naman yung spinach and brocolli/carrots shreds, salt and pepper plus meaty toppings = HEAVEN!

What's in the pic: BEd of coarsely shredded brocolli stems and carrots. Layered with a bed of spinach. Topped with salt and pepper.

Grilled tops: It is just chix breast boiled well. In a heated pan + very lil oil, BROWN onions and garlic, place cooked breast slices til brown on one side and all juices evaporated. Turn to brown other side. Place on top of plate.

Optional: It will be fairly dry salad without lil bit of ketchup. And syempre optional din ang chili/garlic in oil (ung nilalagay sa siomai sa pinas).

DIG IN!!!!
