Primed Filipino Sisig Rated 6 Stars

June 3, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife Leave a comment

I have a confession to make. Despite living in the Philippines for the last 15 years I don’t know how to speak Tagalog, I have never tried Balut (embryo in an egg shell) and I had never even contemplated eating Filipino Pig’s Ear Sisig. Indeed, even if you paid me I probably would not have touched it, let alone eaten it.

Well, all that has changed now and I am a fan of Primed Sisig. Of course I had to tweak the traditional Filipino version to make it healthier with added vegetable and coconut amino sauce instead of the highly processed GMO soy sauce traditionally used.

Is Primed Sisig good? Nope. It’s not good. It’s great. I love it but more importantly Jincky, our helper, loved it.

I also sought a second opinion from Myra and Bill and their 4 boys. They gave it 6 stars!

Quote from Bill: “We all love the Primed Sisig. Personally I love it with the right spice.”

Primed Chicken and Pork Adobo with Added Greens

March 18, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife Leave a comment

I know Filipino’s LOVE their own cuisine. I also love Filipino dishes such as Primed Kinilaw with Extra Vegetables, but find some do not incorporate enough nutritious vegetables and are overly reliant on rice as a base.

I will try to create delicious and healthy Primed Filipino dishes by substituting non-Primed ingredients with Primed ones, as well as adding non-traditional ingredients to make them a better fuel source for your mind and body. Adobo is one of my favorite dishes so I’ll start with a Chicken, Pork and Wilted Greens Adobo.

Primed Banana Heart with Home-made Coconut Milk

March 11, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife Leave a comment

Populations That Eat a LOT of Coconut Are Among The Healthiest People on The Planet

The best example of such a population is the Tokelauans, which live in the South Pacific. They eat over 60% of their calories from coconuts and are the biggest consumers of saturated fat in the world. These people are in excellent health, with no evidence of heart disease.

I recently learned about Delia (pictured below and looking excellent for 56 years young) who’s grandparents Filamina and Juan Costovo who lived to 100 plus each in the city of Tacloban on the island of Leyte, Eastern Visayas in the Philippines.

Filamina and Juan ate a lot of coconut products like Coconut Milk, lots of fresh vegetables (especially malunggay), eggs and seafood. Most of these items are high in quality saturated fats. Here is one of their favorite dishes of Banana Heart cooked with Home-made Coconut Milk.
