Ginisang Kulitis

Wild Spinach or kulitis were not planted in our garden, they just grew naturally. It can be used in many dishes but I love it sauteed with sardines. Have you seen this at your backyards? They're everywhere. Just get the top part then wash very well and it is ready to be used.

Ingredients:
3 cups kulitis
1 can sardines
1 onion
salt and pepper to taste

Procedure:
1. Wash the kulitis very well and set aside. Saute the onion then add the sardines and simmer for a minute.

Organic Leche Flan

I made this for a pregnant friend that's why I used organic products because as much as possible I want it to be nutritious. Since there is no organic condensed milk I used the one that's labeled "light" lesser calories. My pregnant friend enjoyed the leche flan so much :-).

Ingredients:
4 organic egg yolks
1 cup condensed milk (light)
3/4 cup organic fresh milk
2 tablespoons organic sugar or 3 tablespoons honey

Procedure:
1.Mix together the fresh milk, condensed milk and egg yolks until fully combined.
2. In a molder put the sugar then melt until it caramelized, let cool.
3. Strain the leche flan mixture and pour in the molder then steam for 45 minutes or until done.
4. Refrigerate  before serving and enjoy!
