Brandy, Ginger Pork

Delicious brandy ginger pork

Time for something new and delicious. I seldom cook pork but I thought Brandy, Ginger Pork would be lovely. I love to add wine into my food and since my family loves ginger, I thought this is a good try. This is more of a Chinese dish. I must say it came out really flavourful and delicious. We like ginger so I used a lot of ginger in this dish. It gives it such a kick to the dish…..fabulous! The brandy added extra flavour to it. It goes great with plain rice. I steamed broccoli to go with it. Everyone enjoyed it very much. Here’s my recipe to share.

Healthy, Humble, Sweet Potatoes

Delicious, healthy sweet potato

Sweet Potatoes, also called Kumara, is one of my favourite, healthy indulgences. It has always been a very popular poor man’s food, as far as I know. I think eating this lovely vegetable keeps me humble and sweeter each day. I remember we grew up eating lots of them. We ate them boiled or cooked with rice. We were just happy that our stomaches were full. Besides that, potato leaves taste very delicious when fried with just garlic and a sprinkle of salt.

Carrot, Apple And Beet Juice For Health

Delicious and lovely juice

Lately I heard of another few people, my friend’s friends, who are diagnosed with CANCER. As I sat and tried to recall my many friends who had suffered from various cancer, there are 24 of them! Sadly, 20 of them eventually died a very painful death not too long after diagnosis despite all the latest cancer treatments. That’s really heart-breaking. Only 4 still survive. Out of these 4, I know of 2 who are on a very strict diet that incorporates a lot of juices, home grown vegetables and fruits and no meat into their diet. On top of that they live a healthy lifestyle. One of them had third stage colon cancer and is now at least 10 years since diagnosis. The other one suffered from aggressive lymphatic cancer that has already spread throughout her whole body but looks very healthy now….already coming 7 years after diagnosis.

My family loves to eat salmon. There are so many ways to cook salmon. I love this Spicy Salmon Fillets which goes great with plain rice. Salmon is high in Omega-3 and so is very good for the body.
