Huachinango a la Veracruzana


Huachinango a la Veracruzana
Veracruz lies nuzzled in the southern part of the Gulf of Mexico, not too far away from Cuba and Hispaniola from where Cortéz sailed in 1519. The area was one of the first conquered by the Spanish, and has long had quite a distinct character, as I suppose so many port cities do. The mix of the indigenous history, European culture, African slave elements and even the strong ties to Cuba's recent history make this a fascinating place.

Tuna Salpicao, Fish Salpicao

I have found this mouth watery recipe in a Filipino Food Blog, the recipe is called:  Tuna Salpicao, Fish Salpicao



Tuna Salpicao, Fish Salpicao. Here is my version of fish salpicao using tuna cubes, to make the dish I just cut the tuna into large cubes about 3/4” cubes. Marinated it with kalamansi juice, soy sauce, a dash of liquid seasoning paprika and garlic powder before stir cooking. The final result was yummy dish that I would not hesitate to recommend to every one especially to those who are looking for a healthier version of my Pork Salpicao. Here is the recipe of my Tuna Salpicao, Fish Salpicao.

10 Great Benefits of Drinking Green Tea

There has been much talk recently about the health benefits of green tea.



I’ve researched and discovered some sources about losing weight, diets and obesity. I used many medicines which are completely made up of chemicals. At the end, I turned back to the traditional treatment since I thought that those chemicals damage my liver. During my researches I discovered the benefits of green tea. Please do not confuse green tea with black tea which everyone drinks daily.


Ancient Chinese people knew the benefits of green tea for health. They have always used it for medical purposes. However, in Ancient China, it was used especially against the headaches and depression. Green tea has a great importance in China history. It is produced from the leaves of Camellia Sinensis by some special processes. Unlike black tea, it has little amount of caffeine which causes to insomnia, nausea and frequent urination.

4 Most Harmful Ingredients in Packaged Foods

4 Most Harmful Ingredients in Packaged Foods

Most of Americans’ household food budget is spent on processed foods, the majority of which are filled with additives and stripped of nutrients. Discover which common ingredients in the foods you eat pose the greatest risk to your health.

Grab the broccoli with cheese sauce from the freezer, the box of instant rice pilaf from the pantry, or the hot dogs from your fridge and squint at the ingredient list’s fine print. You’ll likely find food additives in every one.

Is this healthy? Compared to the foods our bodies were built to eat, definitely not.

Processed, packaged foods have almost completely taken over the diet of Americans.
Unfortunately, most processed foods are laden with sweeteners, salts, artificial flavors, factory-created fats, colorings, chemicals that alter texture, and preservatives. But the trouble is not just what’s been added, but what’s been taken away. Processed foods are often stripped of nutrients designed by nature to protect your heart, such as soluble fiber, antioxidants, and “good” fats. Combine that with additives, and you have a recipe for disaster.
