Hearty Food: Spinach Fettuccine in Creamy Seafood Sauce

What you need:

Spinach Fettuccine. Healthier alternative to flour pasta.

The three-step pasta sauce. total calories is only 120!

Alternative to oil for sautee.

seafoods! everything is from the frozen area of the supermarket. :)

General Procedure:

1. De-frost the seafoods. This practically takes a longer time so what I did was to place them in a strainer and put had some water flowing through it to get rid of the ice.

2. Season the seafoods with salt, pepper, and some garlic powder.

3. Sautee seafoods with garlic and butter. Note that you will see seafood broth which came from the shrimps. Do not take it out as this will promote the seafood taste on your pasta.

While waiting for it t absorb the garlic and the seasonings, pour in the fresh milk on the cream powder. 

4. Mix the cream sauce on the sauteed seafoods. Bring it to boil.

5. While waiting, boil water for the pasta. Cook the pasta for 11 minutes or until it is "eatable" and drain it out with a strainer.

6. Get some cooked pasta, top it with the oh-so yummy sauce, and finish it with parmesan cheese! Enjoy!!!!

Complexity: Low

Affordability: Carry lang

Taste: Superb!

Healthy Food: Pizza Hut's Crab Spring Rolls

What is it made of?
These are cucumber and crab sticks rolled in a thin rice wrapper. These rolls sits in a bed of lettuce and the centerpiece is, uhm, a mayonnaise dip.

Why is it healthy?
Minus the centerpiece, all of the ingredients are healthy! Cucumber and crabsticks are runaway winners for a healthy diet! Admittedly, rolls are best eaten with the dip, so why not put a smallest amount of it when you much on those rolls? :)

Healthy Food: Jack Link's Beef Jerky

Everytime someone from the States would ask me what I want for a "pasalubong", I have two default things in my list - Crest and beef jerky!

A friend of ours has come to visit Manila and of course, Levy and I got our packs of beef jerky! So what do we like about this product? Simple - it is one food that is truthfully healthy! It is made of lean beef exuding a 98% fat free and only 5 grams of total carbohydrates for each pack. Super great food to be incorporated on your diet plan. It can be a snack, a meal, and even a pulutan!

I wonder why we don't have these food products on our normal grocery stores. It is very seldom that you can spot them here. I've got to see them in Subic but boy, the packs there are "too old" that you have to protect your teeth from permanently saying goodbye to your gums! And not to mention it is kind of expensive.

So next time when you are asked by a friend or a family member of what stuff to bring for you from the US, include beef jerky on your list! :D
