Canned sardines

Sliced onions 

Chopped ginger 

Diced tomatoes

Minced garlic 

Alugbati leaves

Saute ginger, tomato, onion, and garlic in a cap of cooking oil. (Yes, I use the cap of my bottle of cooking oil to measure the amount of oil I will in sauteing.)

Let it simmer then add the alugbati leaves. 

Turn off the stove and let the leaves wilt in the remaining heat.

One Day At a Time: No Colas or sugar-filled drinks

I am starting this week to avoid any sugar-filled or sweetened drinks like soft drink, cola, iced tea, and the likes. I know I can easily do this because I am not really into cola-drinking. I have to be contended with drinking cold water.    

I realized sugar is the most culprit of all culprits in a diet when I stumbled upon these charts comparing different drinks.

Who wouldn't be crazy when you see these charts of comparison?

So in line with avoiding sugar-loaded drinks, I will not use sugar and cream with my coffee.. Yeah, black coffee for me starting this week.
