Fiber in Meatballs

Shop at More Food Adventures

I have often used flour or corn starch in making meatballs. But a few days ago, I realized that corn starch or flour was making it too heavy and unhealthy. So while we were at the grocery, instead of all items going through the barcode scanner, I simply went back to the aisle where I got the corn starch, put it back and went to get some oats instead.

As soon as I got home, I prepared the meat balls recipe, but instead of the corn starch, I substituted it with a cup of oats. I noticed that the mixture was even more firm when shaped in balls, and when cooked, it was much better.  I will not share any recipe here. All I did was substitute an ingredient. If you wish to try using oats in your own recipe, do try and tell me how you will find it. 

Oats is better than flour or corn starch because it is a good source of fiber, which the body needs to stay healthy.

The Cheese Had A Hole

Shop at More Food Adventures

A few days ago, my father came home with Jollibee Champ for each of us here in the apartment. I usually eat my Champ without any fuss whatsoever, but this one, I happened to open for pictorials. Well, I was actually bored and full perhaps. Hehehe

So there I was taking photos, and when I purposely opened to look at the insides of the burger, I was greeted by a hole on the cheese. 

So I wondered why there was a hole on the cheese... And I guess I wondered too long that my Champ was already cold when I started eating it.  Was there always a hole on the cheese of every Champ? The next time I eat one I will go ahead and check.. I never really look at that part of the sandwich before.. I never had to because somehow, I never found any reason to. Guess that is the effect of being bored and you are left  with nothing but your food to toy with while eating.. Hahahaha..
