Ever since I was young, my parents always loved gardening and growing fruit-bearing trees and vegetables. So growing up, I was fortunate to eat organic vegetables (like corn, eggplant, okra, calamansi) and fruits (mangoes, star apple, santol, papaya, duhat---"java plum" in English). And I am thankful to both of them, that I get to enjoy this healthy habit up to this day. . . as they say, some things never change.
This morning, I walked in on the kitchen and saw mom's harvest for the day . . .
And THESE!!!

| Btw, these 3 came from the MARKET. . .Haha! |

The Game Plan . . . err I meant Meal Plan?
- The talbos ng kamote (one of my fave veggies) will be prepared as a salad to go with fried fish
- Mashed sayote for the Little One
- Upo for Dad's Pesang Isda (Fish soup)
- Sauteed string beans for tomorrow's lunch
- The mangoes are well. . . mangoes, haha!
- As for the super size jackfruit (a favorite fruit of mine), some of it will be eaten fresh and some, to be used for the Ginataang Halo-Halo, a famous Filipino dessert that is also served as merienda (snacks).
Whew! I guess we're already set for the most part of the week!
Hope you had a veggie wonderful day!
I wonder what tomorrow brings . . . to the table =)
