Recipe: Peanut Butter Banana Quesadillas

Mahilig akong maghanap ng recipe sa web, mahilig din akong mag-collect ng mga cookbooks.  Nakita ko itong recipe na ito at natuwa akong gawin kasi madali lang at magandang maging bonding session namin ng mga anak ko.  Nakita ko itong recipe na ito sa Budget Bytes.  Kaya eto ang version ko.  Masarap sya na merienda at pwede din breakfast. 

Ingredients

• 1 8-inch whole wheat tortilla
• 2 Tbsp natural peanut butter
• ½ medium banana
• 1 Tbsp semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Spread the peanut butter over the surface of the tortilla.
2. Slice the banana very thinly and then arrange the slices over half of the tortilla. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the banana slices and then fold the tortilla in half.
3. Cook the quesadilla in a skillet over medium-low heat until golden brown and crispy on both sides.

The Highlight of my Week

It’s been a while again since I posted here on my blog.  As I’m always saying, I’m on a crisis. Mid-life Crisis!!! Lol!!! Feeling low, unmanaged time, long to-do-list, mixed thoughts and overwhelming projects.  That’s how I’m managing myself lately.  So struggling!!!!

Last week was the worst.  I got work and relationship issues.  My two loved ones were hospitalized. And I can’t get much time to focus on my project. In short, I was disturbed.

But God is good. After serving Him through my Media Ministry, he poured me overflowing blessings.  My heart is gracing joy because He gave me all the reasons to write and share the blessings I received this week.

As Bro. Bo said, “what you express, you expand”.   This is just a simple joy that gave me strength to be more optimistic and create a good vibes.  Here….absorb the good vibes.

The highlight of my week is this.

Last Monday, I received a letter about Recognition Day of my children.  Woohoooo!!!! My two boys are “Conduct Awardee”.  The best award that a parent can ever have. Despite a guilt of having less time parenting with them, they managed themselves to behave and be obedient in school.  My heart is in overwhelm mode because for that appreciation.

 

Thank you baby for the pride and joy.

 Marco is a consistent Outstanding Student that makes us highly pleased.  Please excuse me for bragging. (lol!) Parents like me can relate to the "#proudparent".  Parang ako ang nakatanggap ng recognition.  (hihi!)  But anyway, behind everything I am thankful to God for this recognition.  It's another challenge for me to become a better parent.  It teaches me to be more humble and lift everything to HIM.  It is HE who work for us, HE provides all the wisdom and strength to guide our kids into the right path.

What makes my week a block buster is the presence of #dadehmac in the recognition.  Despite overflowing office works, he found time to attend this wonderful event on our kids' life.  By which, my kids really appreciate.

 We're really blessed with all the goodness of the Lord.  And so I offer it to the LORD.

And wait there is more......

God is sending his love to me through the people I've met.

Every Tuesday is my Media Ministry Light Group.  I am in awe meeting these personalities.  I believe into the reason why God is bringing me in this group.  God is helping me to hone my core gift through this group to serve the Lord better. Yipee for my #tuesdaylg.

And every Friday is my time to empower my relationship with my husband.  God is sending these couples to guide us in serving the Lord through Couples Ministry.  Hooray for these loving couples!!

My week is such a "Rock 'n Roll" with the Lord.  Thank you for all the blessings.

                                                                                                     Think Positive Be Positive!

                                                                                                     Just sharing!

Throwback Thursday: Hwebes Santo

Hello Yamisweeters!

It's a start of my #ThrowbackThursday series here on my blog.  It's all about my stories of not so long "past happenings/photos" I want to share.

And here is my story................

In observance of Lenten Season, together with the #walangumay group we had the Visita Iglesia or the Way of the Cross in ten Catholic Churches in Laguna Province, one in Quezon Province and three in Batangas Province last Maundy Thursday.  It was a another great experience for me because it's my first time to do it in different Churches.  Originally,  I planned my Visita Iglesia at Kamay ni Hesus, Lucban Quezon but my husband confirmed to the invitation of our organizer #bokal2016 to hire a van with shared expenses.  It was a nice idea because we saved a lot of time and money plus we had a memorable conversation during travel from one town to the other.  At 7:30 in the morning we're moving.  When I jumped up the van the rest of the group was teasing me because I have a wheat bread and a spread as baon.  It's a Visita Iglesia daw not outing.  I don't want to get hungry kasi. hehehe! To avoid migraine na rin.  I prepared myself because I know it's a long travel.

Here are the photos I got from our 14 station of the cross.

First Station: The Last Suffer at San Sebastian Cathedral, Lipa City Batangas

Second Station: The Agony in Gethsemani at Saint Padre Pio Parish, Sto Tomas Batangas

Third Station: Jesus is condemned to Death at Nuestra Señora Parish, Alaminos Laguna

Fourth Station: Jesus is scourged and crowned with thorns at Our Lady of Pilar Parish, Calauan Laguna

Fifth Station: Jesus Carries the Cross at La Resurrection Parish, Victoria Laguna

Sixth Station: Jesus Falls at San Antonio De Padua Parish Pila Laguna

Seventh Station: Simon the Cyrene helps Jesus carry the cross at Immaculate Concepcion Parish, Sta Cruz Laguna

Eighth Station: Jesus Meets the Women of Jerusalem at Nuestra Sra. de Guadalupe Parish, Pagsanjan Laguna

Ninth Station: Jesus is Stripped of his Garments and Nailed on the Cross at St. Mary Magdalene Parish Magdalena Laguna


Tenth Station: The Forgiven Thief at St. John the Baptist Church Liliw Laguna

Eleventh Station: Mary and the Beloved Disciple at the Foot of the Cross at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church Nagcarlan Laguna

Twelfth Station: The Death of Jesus at Saint Paul Cathedral San Pablo City

Note: No photo

Thirteenth Station: Jesus is laid in the Tomb at Saint John the Baptist Parish Tiaong Quezon

Fourteenth Station: The Resurrection of Jesus at San Juan Nepomuceno Church San Juan Batangas

In every station, we read a Holy Gospel, prayed and reflected together.  We remembered the suffering of our Lord Jesus Christ and reminded us to share more, listen more, care more, love more, be humble, more patience, more perseverance, be responsible, be selfless, be happy, be considerate, be compassionate, be prayerful and  be faithful.  It's indeed one of the nicest thing we've ever done. 

It also became a photography opportunity to me and I was able to use my 10-22mm wide angle lens to the beautiful architecture of the historic Churches.  

The Municipality of Pila caught my attention with how they preserved the old houses and used as commercial stores like Mercury Drugs, Seven Eleven and others.  I love how the citizen value the history and culture of their town.

Tips for this kind of activity:
1. Hire a van and a driver.  
2. Prepare the itinerary.
3. Be strict with the meeting time. Leave your place as early as possible.
4. Bring packed-lunch, water and snacks because finding a restaurant will be difficult. 
5. Secure a devotional prayer booklet for the Way of the Cross.(You can buy it on the first church)
6. Meditate and prepare yourself for your purpose.  
7.  And don't forget to bring along sensible ideas to discuss while on the van to add some thrill and fun.  (oh oh! but not gossip ha!) 

Take note: My wheat bread and spread saved me.  It kept me going and going and going............ parang naka-energizer lang.(lol!)

I hope you like it! 'Til next #throwback! Stay sweet!!!!!

"We adore you, O Christ and we bless you.  Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world."
