<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Are you a dunker? Do you have a favorite comfort food from childhood? For me, it's peanut butter sandwich and coffee. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's a cold spring morning. It seems like spring cannot get started. Just when you thought things are looking up sunny, it became grey out there again. For a few brief moments the sun would try to peer through the clouds, as if saying, "it's my turn." In the garden, weeds have taken over the landscape. But I don't mind, since they bring about beautiful white and yellow flowers of their own. And the clouds are a puff of white and grey. And that's how it is here today in Los Angeles.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Can it be sunny already? I guess being sunny is how you really feel inside. For instance, what memories you treasure, what you choose to forget, and what you look forward to in the future. There are different ways to stir the sunny up in me. It could be music, a scent, or a photograph. But for today, it is PB and coffee --- </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">childhood comfort food that warms up the soul, evoking memories of care-free times, when everything was sunny, breezy, and green. And yes, I like dunking it into my coffee (a childhood comfort drink for me, but that's another story). Happy Thursday everyone! -GG-</span></span>Gingham Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07750512484709799969noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6638406065812602723.post-74784210746958915722019-03-19T00:11:00.000-07:002019-03-21T16:36:40.346-07:00Dry-Roasted Potaotes<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Happy St. Patrick's Day!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Or, if you are not Irish, then simply Happy Sunday! I just wanted to share my breakfast plate with all of you. I never really used to eat fruits before, but I have now developed a craving for it. Where a quick run to Mc Donald's would have satisfied a lazy Sunday breakfast craving prior to me being plant-based, I now look forward to reaching out for the fruits in the refrigerator. Even if it involves washing them, cutting them, and removing seeds, in this case --- papaya seeds. Whereas before, I would have found it much easier to get in my car, get in the drive-thru line (that would have probably extended all the way to the street), place my order, and head back home. But now, I would not even consider that as my first choice, in fact it does not even enter my mind anymore. And I figured, the time it takes to prep the fruits is just a fraction of the time it would have taken me to do the McDonald's run. And the best thing is I did it all while still in my jammies. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I was also debating whether to have toast for breakfast as my starch. Instead, I opted for teeny-weeny potatoes which I bought at Trader Joe's. I dry-roasted it, (that's right, no oil), and seasoned it with garlic powder, thyme, and rosemary, and a little bit of salt. I will show you how I do my no-oil roasted potatoes in my next YouTube Vlog post, so stay tuned for it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I hope you enjoy the rest of this weekend, and may we all have a wonderful week ahead of us. :-) -GG-</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">Ah, kimichi.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>It’s either you like it or you don’t. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I never used to like it, that’s why I was
always the odd one among us Asian friends whenever we go to Korean
restaurant.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>But it’s not like I never
gave it a try.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I would always take a
small piece and see if I can enjoy it, and sadly, I just couldn’t.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Until one day, we decided to have a breakfast
potluck at work, and my co-worker announced that she was going to bring kimchi
pancakes and white rice.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Oh no! I almost
wanted to tell her, “can you bring Spam and eggs instead”?<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I did not want to tell her that I don’t eat
kimchi. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I just said, “wow, I never had
that before”. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Little did I know that
this will be the day that I will learn to appreciate kimchi.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>So, after breakfast, I finally admitted to my
co-worker, “hey, I never used to eat kimchi, but this one, I really liked it”.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>She then explained to me that the kimchi she
might have picked up was still fairly new.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>Wait, what?!<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>What does that mean?<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Aren’t they all just uniformly packaged in a
bottle in the refrigerator section of the store?<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>As it turns out, she went to a Korean store
where they make their own kimchi.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I then
further researched this and found out about fermentation and depending on how
long it sits fermenting, the flavor changes in varying degrees.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>So, the longer it sits, the more fermented it
tastes.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>That is probably the taste that
I cannot get past when I used to not like it.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>And to this day, when it’s too “strong”, I still couldn’t eat it.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>However, I am proud to say that I can now eat
kimchi (although not too “strong”), compared to not eating it at all.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>So, I want to share with you this</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;"> <b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><a href="https://youtu.be/ZENZlSoEY80">Kimchi PancakeRecipe</a></span></b> </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">that opened my eyes and palette to this super food, which also is surprisingly
easy to prepare.<span style="margin: 0px;"> For me, it's an all-around food, that </span>I like eating this
either for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>Enjoy! <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>-GG-</span>Gingham Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07750512484709799969noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6638406065812602723.post-71142185595605114072019-02-09T15:54:00.002-08:002019-02-14T11:20:23.288-08:00Fruit Plate and Oatmeal Breakfast<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial";">It’s one of those days when, before I can even get up from
bed, I am already feeling hungry.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>It
doesn’t help that I can smell the coffee brewing automatically in the kitchen. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I think to myself, only a big hearty breakfast
can satisfy me now.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>But I have to push through
and let my will take over. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Before I
became plant-based, going to our local breakfast restaurant will really hit the
spot.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>An order of pancakes, bacon, and
eggs, or maybe something from the “Scramblers,” “Omelettes,” or “Skillets” menu
would really satisfy me --- so much that as soon as I get back home, I would lay on the couch as old movie
re-runs lull me back to sleep until well past lunch time.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>While I do still think about those gastronomic
indulgences, I have now come to the point where I can stay away from them as
much as I possibly can.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Today is such a day
when my will won over those deliciously haunting breakfast plates.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Yay! </span></div>

A transition diet for me is not quitting cold turkey.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>It means slowly cutting back on the regular
diet we used to eat such as processed food, meat, sugar, oil, and salt, until
we don’t crave them anymore. Believe me, I still have cravings for the food I used to eat. But proudly, for the most part, I choose not to give in.</div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today is a french toast kind of Sunday. I woke up and just had the hankering for french toast. That and the fact that I had an excessive amount of several-days-old bread in the from of loaf and hamburger buns staring at me in the face. Both were getting too dry for as-is use so I had to do something with them and french toast is one of the best ways to use up stale bread.</span></div>

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello everyone! I wanted to share with you a Filipino treat I grew up with. Unlike most cupcakes that are moist, this one is more of a muffin in texture. It's a little on the heavy side, and I love to pair it with coffee.</span><br>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I found this recipe on the internet at <a href="http://filipino-food-recipes.com/">Filipino-Food-Recipes.com</a> What I will share here is half of the recipe which makes 12 standard size cupcakes. I hope you like it too. -GG-</span><br>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">How time flies! My friend Yangmei from China will be returning home next week after an extended stay in the USA. She has taught me many quick and easy Chinese recipes and I will have to find the time to post them all one of these days. However, my favorite recipe that I've learned from her is also the easiest. It is this Chinese chili oil recipe.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For the last month and a half, I've had a guest in my home. She hails from Beijing, China, and even though I hadn't met her before she came to stay with me, I feel that we have become fast friends. I have learned so much about China's people, places and culture just by listening to her fascinating stories. Best of all, she has cooked for me on numerous occasions and has taught me so many new ways of cooking Chinese food.</span><br>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Yes, I know what you're thinking. Tofu in cake? I've actually had tofu bread before and I really liked it so when I came across a recipe for tofu cake, I just had to make it. This all started with a mean cake craving that I've had all week and wouldn't go away. It didn't help that every time I used my rice cooker, I would see the "Cake" setting so I thought, why not finally make cake in my rice cooker? I'm a total novice in using my rice cooker for cake so I went searching for a recipe online.</span><br>

GG and I have gotten so busy that food blogging became a thing of the past. But tonight, I thought, why not refresh this old blog of ours, even if it's with a recipe of a simple dish that I concocted over 10 years ago. And so, The Red Gingham lives on!</span><br>

Yes, it is good to be back in my native land to see good old friends and good old places, and of course the new places as well. Boy, does Manila have anything new? Are you kidding me? The city is in constant evolution. Perhaps we will get to that as I blog from here. But first, ever wonder why Filipinos bring boxes instead of Samsonites?</span></div>

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As Veggie Girl had mentioned, she and I are on a quest toward healthier eating. Though I don't aim to be a vegetarian, I am trying to minimize my consumption of meat and have more veggies in my diet. Here's a quick salad dish I made up, and it's what I had for dinner tonight.</span><br>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;">Shepherd's Pie is one of those comfort foods that'll warm your soul but could really stick to your ribs at the same time. Anyone who loves meat and potatoes will enjoy Shepherd's Pie because it's essentially ground meat and some mixed veggies topped with a layer of mashed potatoes and baked until golden brown on top. My family loves Shepherd's Pie but since I'm on a quest to shed some weight, I thought, why not make a lighter and healthier version that everyone will still enjoy?</span></span></span><br>

I love tea and I used to have an old metal kettle which started rusting, believe it or not, so I went shopping on Amazon and saw an awesome glass kettle. It now doubles as both my kettle and teapot (since I prefer loose tea) and I've been sipping tea all day long on a daily basis this week.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hello again! This blog has officially made a come back. The last time we had a post here was sometime towards the end of last year and it's hard to believe several months have already gone by and we're now in the new year! Well, seeing as how it's a new year, what better time to tackle our resolutions than now? A big one of mine is to lose some weight and drop some pounds which I've accumulated over the years. Apparently GG also has the same goal so we're planning to refocus the content on this blog on healthy eating and weight loss management.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Let me start by saying that this post does not contain fancy Thanksgiving photos of lovely table settings or decorated platters of food or any of that. It's merely a quick recap of a simple Thanksgiving dinner which I cooked for the most part, despite feeling really sick and tired. And when the time came to eat, the fam was so hungry, they had no patience for food decoration, props or fancy photography so brace yourself, the food pics in this post can best be described as "rustic". :)</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I love roast chicken and, for the longest time, was afraid of attempting to roast them whole at home because I always thought it would be hard for some reason and I would end up with really dry chicken. So I just settled for store bought rotisserie chicken and even then, they were sometimes dry or lacking in flavor.</span><br>
