Post Summer Vacation Diet

I have mentioned that hubby and I gained weight during our vacation. We vowed to go on a diet the moment we come back. We did, for a few days I think and then we forgot we were on a diet haha! Here are some of the food I prepared during our 'diet' :P

squash in coco milk with shrimps

marinated boneless chicken thighs, mushrooms sauteed in lotsa butter and garlic

garlic butter mushrooms

perfect together!

My friend Jocelyn let me harvest fresh veggies from her garden when we came back. We got carrots, tomatoes, celery and beans. Perfect for our 'diet' :P

used fresh carrots for Caldereta

tomatoes, carrots and celery salad paired with fried chicken wings

my fave! sweet tomatoes with bagoong

my other version of pork adobo

There goes our cheat 'diet' haha! Believe it or not we cut down on rice for a bit and ate bread as much as we could but of course, hubby wanted his sandwiches loaded :P

Leila's new fave, bread dipped in sour cream

ham &egg sandwich

i love orange marmalade used as glaze for the ham

me being frugal, ends of bread used for pizza bread

Few weeks into our 'diet', we went back to eating our favorites. During our US trip, we ate at a Vietnamese restaurant and had the best Pho soup and pork chop. We tried two Vietnamese restaurants here but we weren't satisfied plus I hate wasting money on eating out. I decided to try cooking it at home and it was a success! We've been eating it almost every single day :)

To be honest, I haven't weighed myself to check if I lost any weight. I won't be surprised if I didn't :D
