Arroz Ala Cubana Quinoa Bowl

Arroz Ala Cubana Quinoa Bowl is simply a healthier version of the popular Arroz Ala Cubana — tastes just as awesome! You won’t miss the rice.

Arroz Ala Cubana Quinoa Bowl

The weekend passed  by so quickly. All I knew was that it was thursday and then poof! — weekend was over. So let me just hypnotize myself and recall what happened last friday, saturday, and sunday.

Two things I’m loving???? this Saturday: @starbucksph Strawberry Fruity Jelly Yogurt #Frappuccino ???????? & my new #HuaweiP9 ????which is co-developed by #Leica. It takes crisp, clear photos! #HuaweiP9PH is #TheNewChoice! #OO #TPKHuaweiP9 … … … #ThePeachKitchen #StarbucksPH #StrawberryFruityJellyYogurtFrappuccino #foodblogger #foodbloggerph #mommyblogger #mommybloggerph #drinkstagram #foodporn #foodphotography

FRIDAY – I got myself a new phone — the Huawei P9. This phone was co-develeoped by Leica camera and it takes such crisp, clear photos and I love it! I’m still tinkering it but I am loving all the features so far. We ate again at New Bombay and we weren’t able to finish our food so we had it wrapped to take home.

SATURDAY – Just a quick update on my blog and we were out of the house to celebrate FIL’s birthday. We ate at Dad’s in Megamall for lunch (Goodbye, diet!). It felt like the 2 lbs I lost last week crept its way back in….LOL! Oh well. It was dark when we got home. We haven’t had dinner yet and we were too tired to cook, so we ate whatever we had at home.

SUNDAY – I think I food poisoned myself with the combination of food that I ate for dinner saturday night. I was sick the whole day Sunday and was still recovering yesterday.

I think that pretty much summarizes my weekend. Today, regular programming resumes. Can I just say that I love love love quinoa right now? It is so much like rice only with a gazillion health benefits. Only half cup of it leaves me full!

Arroz Ala Cubana Quinoa Bowl

I tried it with Arroz Ala Cubana but instead of rice, I turned it into an Arroz Ala Cubana Quinoa Bowl. I used lean ground pork and ground beef, hardboiled egg instead of fried, but I still fried the saba because it just tastes so good cooked that way. Then I squeezed some sriracha for some heat! It was awesome.

I would very much like to hit the gym today but I don’t think I can because we have to take sis and her friends to the airport for their Palawan vacay. AND peanutbutter♥ and I have a meeting at SM MOA.

♥ If you make this recipe, be sure to snap a photo and tag @thepeachkitchen on Instagram (OR hashtag it #thepeachkitchen). I’d love to see what you cook!

    Sorry to hear that you have suffered from food poisoning…it’s definitely no fun, esp. for a passionate food blogger like you. The quinoa bowl looks healthy and very tasty.

    Arroz ala cubana is one of my favorite dish. I used to buy it every lunch at a cafe near my office. I didn’t know that you can replace rice with the quinoa. I should give it a try and let you know how it goes. Thanks for the recipe (what widget/plugin you used?)

    I’ve not tried Quinoa, but my friends rave about how it helped them eat healthier and shed unwanted pounds, not going to lie, the thought of giving up rice scares me. LOL 😀

    Arroz ala cubana is <3!

    I have not had Arroz ala Cubana for the longest time! I like the idea of using quinoa instead of the usual rice. 🙂

As a LACTUMama, I'm always on the lookout for acti As a LACTUMama, I'm always on the lookout for activities that will help support Twinkle's Immunity, Brain and Bones. Good thing this All Around Development Kit from @Lactum3 arrived over the week, kaya naman ito ang aming bonding activity this weekend!

Ang saya ni Twinkle because it has all the fun exercises and activities she really enjoys doing. We planted Arugula, Mustard, and Alfalfa seeds, painted the post, solved a puzzle, and played Twister. Afterwards, I made sure to give her a glass of cold Vitaminized Lactum 3+ which helps support her all-around development in Immunity, Brain and Bones with proper nutrition and stimulation.
