Ingredients for a great facial are no further away than your own refrigerator. Avocado and carrots may sound like something healthy to eat, but then when blended together, they make a wonderful facial for dry or mature skin. The vitamin E in the avocado, combined with the antioxidants and beta-carotene in the carrot, will improve your skin’s texture and tone and fade age spots.

Lasang Pinoy, Sundays: SLICE it up!

tenderloin-1
Welcome to another week of foodplay, if i may say so. Looking at the photos of this Pan-Roasted Lime Marinated Pork Tenderloin with Mango Salsa and Almond Rice Pilaf, I believe foodplay is perfectly inherent. I had so much fun making this dish a few days ago…the tenderloins served warm and rice pilaf…toasty, the mango salsa , oh so refreshing. delicioso!
What made it more enjoyable was the photo shoot, of course.

tenderloin-2
…first, it was the star of the show this week…the SLICED PORK TENDERLOIN.

tenderloin-3
…funny how the salsa and other garnish came in second, you might ask? ..the RICE pilaf was just a hurried decision. i completely erased that part due to lack of exact ingredients until M and I decided, what the heck…make do with what we have. and guess what…still, yummy maybe even better! and without it, the whole enchilada [as they say] will not taste as good!

tenderloin-4

…i am posting the recipe in a few! and this brings us to the last part of this so-called foodplay! showing it off! hee! now, it’s your turn!

lapis-sliced is a weekly thematic FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY meme, PINOY style!

Litrato: clementines

clementine-smoothie
ever since the holiday season, we have been buying boxes of these sweet and succulent clementines especially because the kids love them so…
[kaya lang wala nang masyadong mabili nito sa ngayon...]
once we even bought a new batch even if we still have some left at home, and so the over ripe ones turned into this refreshingly good clementine smoothie made by M…
[sa kahiligan ng mga bata dito, minabuti naming bumili ng panibagong kahon maski na mayroon pang natitirang ilang piraso sa bahay, at sa kahinugan ng mga ito...minabuti ni M na gawin itong masarap na inumin!]

clementines

…an entry to LP-kahel with an ORANGE theme!

…a variety of the mandarin orange, a clementine is an oblate, medium-sized citrus fruit. The exterior is a deep orange colour with a smooth, glossy appearance. Clementines separate easily into eight to fourteen juicy segments. They are very easy to peel, like a tangerine, but lack the tangerine’s seeds. Clementines are also known as seedless tangerines, although occasionally they do contain a few seeds.
