LECHE FLAN is a traditional Filipino dessert originally made with eggs, milk and sugar, cooked with arnibal (caramelized sugar).

FOOD CHARTS AND FOOD GUIDELINES




Miss Paez was my Grade 1 teacher at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart School in Quezon City. She was a gentle, soft-spoken lady whom everyone respected and obeyed diligently in school. One day, she showed us a nice chart showing the “Basic Four Food Groups”. The food groups were separated by four squares and grouped namely as (a) fruits and vegetables, (b) meat and eggs, (c) milk and milk products, (d) bread and cereals.

GINISANG MONGO



Ginisang Mongo- -or sauteed mung beans is a very popular Filipino dish, a very common way to cook boiled mongo, also known as 'balatong'. In the days of our grandmothers and their grandmothers before them, Ginisang Mongo was the standard 'ulam' (main dish) every Friday. The Roman Catholic church, headed by Spanish friars strictly imposed no meat-eating on Fridays as early as the 15th century, as a form of 'penitensya' (or sacrifice) even outside of the Lenten season. The early Filipino people followed the rule and ate mongo beans instead because they knew by cultural knowledge that they replace animal protein.
