A Is The Grand Winner For San Marino Tuna

noreply@blogger.com (Aliz G) — Fri, 03 May 2013 08:17:00 +0000

I love San Marino Tuna, I like my Mini Ipad!

The moment I saw this contest in the Facebook, I already told myself I will join and go for any of the 2 prizes. I never thought of the grand prize, all I know is to make a healthy recipe with San Marino Tuna. At first, I thought I can no longer have an entry because of my busy schedule- my bosses arrived for a vacation during the duration of the contest. Good thing, the San Marino company extended the contest for another week, that's why I thank God for hearing my prayer. I am not a chef, neither own a food related establishment but I am a food lover and I love cooking. I love reading books or magazines with foods and I one of my favorites is watching any shows with food related.... from Iron Chef to Rachel..., from Kitchen Hell to Curiousity...,or from Cupcakes War to Martha, etc..Learning from them? who knows the blogger will be a good cook someday...

Aliz Winning Recipe

Ever since, my family love to buy Tuna cans and we love to experiment it with other ingredients, that's why I didn't hesitate to join. Since the mechanics is to make a healthy recipe out of San Marino products, what captured in my imagination is to create a recipe with the following ingredients or should I call it stars in my direction?

San Marino corned tuna and banana blossoms are the main characters in my recipe,

San Marino Corned Tuna - lots of healthy benefits and according to Ms. Kris Aquino,"less oil, no preservatives and the Omega-3 helps keep her heart healthy!"

Banana Blossom or Banana Flower have many good benefits to our body especially to our heart. According to one of the commenter in FB, he mentioned that it is also anti-aging, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant.

***some extras are;

olive oi l - very good for the heart,

red and green bell peppers (can be eaten raw) - with vitamin C and A, low calorie, contain lutein, a phyto nutrient that has been proven to have a protective benefit against macular degeneration.

garlic, onion, pepper- widely known for it's healing properties
vinegar - significantly lower values for serum total cholesterol and triacylglycerol" and other health benefits
soy sauce - a good source of protein

.... and I never expect that

Cucumber can be the "konta bida"., hehehe!. But to tell you frankly, I came up with the idea of using a cucumber cups and I never regret of using it because; first, I never wanted to put my filler in a plastic cup. Second, just like other people using a cucumber cups- for me, it indeed can give a good presentation. Third, the good benefits of cucumber (no doubt)-especially if they are fresh. The cucumber can be use by anyone in any presentation but the mere fact maybe of collaborating the corned tuna using the "Puso ng Saging" made me win.

Banana Blossom or Banana Flower have many good benefits to our body especially to our heart. According to one of the commenter in FB, he mentioned that it is also anti-aging, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant.

I love San Marino Tuna!
Yes, I am an avid fan of San Marino and it will always be a partner in my kitchen. Imagine, if you are lazy to cook, just open a can.. Voila!. there you are, eating already a healthy food. I shared all these "can pasalubong" to Aling Loida, Ghe, and kids of MTA, and some of my sweet neigbors. Product with healthy benefits is worth to have it, hoping to cook more of their recipes too. Thank you again for my mini Ipad. Now, I think you give me inspirations to cook more and have lots of photos using my very cool prize.

Never Count Your Blessings

noreply@blogger.com (Aliz G) — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 03:38:00 +0000

Last 2012, I started to join online contest and luckily I also have lots of winnings but sometimes losing is also acceptable. I realized that I've won many prizes already and shared also many blessings. That's why I got an idea that I need to make a blog about my winnings or photos of my prizes. Freebies, gifts or anything that I didn't bought will also be featured here. This is not to showcase my prizes but to also to give thanks all the sponsors who gave happiness to me and how I shared my winnings to others. To top it all, I really want to make a compilation of all in my blog so that good memories will be kept or shared here. "nEVER cOUNT yOUR bLESSING", it's a cliche, but always reminds me of doing or striving more to get something that you can also share to others. I am really thankful enough for all the gifts, freebies and prizes. As I mentioned, "never count your blessing" because you still have lots of it that will keep on pouring on your way, just don't give up and always have your faith to HIM.
