Toasted Bread with Wallnuts and Fresh Rosemary

This is what I made this morning for breakfast. I usually had only a cup of coffee and an ordinary toast but I fancied this morning to make something else. 

So, here it is!

Toast a nice slice of bread in the broiler until lightly brown on both sides. Remove from oven and spread with 5% cream cheese. Dizzle with honey and top with chopped toasted wallnut(optional)and a little chopped fresh rosemary. Healthy and a great combination. Sarah loves it.

I am living across the mediterranean sea here, every morning I can see when the sun rise and in the afternoon I watch and wait the sunset so that I can take some photographs.

Here are some of the photos I took, part of my addiction in photography!

Supermarket Escapades

Are you a food shopper? Well, that's me, Hehehe!

I went to the posh supermarket today with Sarah and Ann her daughter. When I say posh, everything is nice, lovely and fresh and most of their product are organic foods. The Eden Teva Supermarket is a bit expensive store and their products last longer and remains good even it take 2 weeks in the fridge. 

And when I say organic foods, it is a food that can be produced without certain synthetic ingredients. Crops are generally grown without synthetic pesticides and artificial fertilizers. 

Animals on organic farms eat organically grown feed, and are raised without antibiotics or synthetic growth hormones. 

The question is, if this organic foods good for our health? 

In my comprehension, it is more nutritious because it is free of chemicals,  however it cost more than ordinary veggies, fruits, meat or even eggs which is organic. 

That's  the difference going in that supermarket compare to those other supermarket here in Israel. But what is fun going there is they have a lot of unusual products, especially they have products imported from my country Philippines. Like pansit cantoon, sotanghon rice noodles, and Silver swan soya sauce. That I wouldn't expect to see in my neighborhood supermarket.

As I promise, heres the photos I captured when I made this Nutty Granola Ice Cream. By this time, it taste perfect for me but Sarah said its too sweet. Hmmm, as far I'm concerned is sweet hehehehe.. Di lang niya gusto ang matamis!

Nutty Granola Ice cream

Sounds I'm good but truly I'm just beginning  to explore my hidden interest in the kitchen.

I remember two years ago, I made this nutty-granola ice cream. It wasn't perfect as I expected and I didn't have a save photographs here since my computer was reprogram.
