New Snack Items
Two pantry "musts" (for those who are not that health-conscious hehehe) I discovered in Pioneer Center over the weekend...
Del Monte Petite Cut Dices Tomatoes with Zesty Jalapeno
Great for making salsas. I made one by just adding some lime juice, very little cilantro, salt, pepper, and a little sprinkling of chili flakes. You'll love it.
Nutritional Analysis: C- (Found HERE).
Cheetos Crunchy Cheddar Jalapeno
Balance between the original and the spicy versions. Love it!
Nutritional Analysis: D+ (Found HERE)
Yes, I know.. these are considered "junk food." I'd still recommend it once in a while! :)

Grilled Steak and Cauliflower Gratin
Hope you enjoy this... these were my own concoctions, of course inspired by the food shows I've been watching.
Grilled Steak
Ingredients
2 slices of 1-inch thick sirloin, rib eye (my favorite), or tenderloin
1 Tsp salt each steak
1/2 Tsp ground black pepper each steak
1 Tsp ground mustard each steak
3 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Marinade the steaks with above ingredients. Heat grill. Grill until preferred done-ness is achieved. I cooked mine for around 4 minutes each side.
Cauliflower Gratin
Ingredients
1/2 kilo cauliflower, chopped into smaller florettes
1 white onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2-3 cups milk
1 Tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 Tbsp butter
Heat butter in a pan. Saute onions, then add garlic when onions are transparent already. Add the cauliflower and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the milk and nutmeg. Bring to a boil. Add the cheese. Salt and Pepper to taste.
Transfer everything in a shallow pan. Broil (or bake, whatever you like) at 200C for 10-15 minutes, until bubbly and when top slightly browns.
