Carol's Kitchen

The concept of this blog started in my kitchen. My husband and I love food.  I started was forced to learn to cook after hubby got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and hypertension.  Most of the time before the diagnosis, we just ate out or had take-outs.  When we were home, I usually did what a typical newlywed wife would do. Buy anything that you can fry. I mean thaw and then fry.  I don't know if you can call it a blessing (I don't wanna be blessed with a disease) in disguise and I know this may sound cheesy but it was really a life changing experience.  

My husband's ever discriminating taste started to perk up again because I had to prepare healthy meals that still tasted good.  I know that sounds impossible.  But with the help of cable tv (cooking shows) and internet (Google), I started to appreciate food much better.

And tasty isn't synonymous with unhealthy.  But don't get me wrong, we still eat steaks, isaw, chicharon, taba ng talangka and everything that you know is bad for you.  But we do this once in a while and in moderation.  And to even lessen the guilt, we follow it up with cups of hot green tea (as if there’s a medical basis that it can lower your cholesterol). 

My modus operandi: to post recipes/meals I typically prepare almost everyday for my husband and son.  I hope this will inspire moms, wives, single ladies and gentlemen, stay home dads, household helpers and everyone including me to prepare food that you can enjoy at home.
