Hotdog Potato Spinach Medley

There are days when I couldn't help myself and I eat the kinds of food that are a no-no for people with GERD like me (like chocolates,coffee, alcohol, anything with tomato, garlic and onions even in small amounts), thinking that I can get away with it. Well, sometimes, I can but when I do it for two or three consecutive meals, I end up not feeling so good afterwards. Tsk, tsk. 

On this particular day, I was running out of groceries and food I can eat. Actually I've been running out of groceries  for a week now (been doing 18-hour shifts at work coz I need the moolah to fund my summer escapades beginning next month... will be visiting Bacolod and Cebu again; will be living in Siargao for two weeks and learn how to surf in Cloud 9 as promised; have plans of diving in Anilao and surfing in Baler, plus of course my addiction to windsurfing. So you see, I really need a lot of funds. Hehehe.). Anyhoo, our fridge don't have much in it at the moment except for a few hotdogs, potatoes, a bottle of mustard, and some spinach. Good thing that my hubby, Peter, has a talent for concocting wonderful homemade dishes out of scrap. So this is what he did to come up with his yummy Hotdog Potato Spinach Medley :

How to Make Spinach Tasty Using a Microwave

I'm now on my third week of medication and I realized that these dishes I'm making aren't really a big jump from my previous eating habits. The only thing missing from my diet now are those cakes, ice cream, chocolates and cocktails I used to enjoy after my healthy meal. Now, I have macapuno, sweetened langka, and honey for desserts. Anyway, bottom line is, it was stress and lack of sleep that really made me sick. If only I listened to my body sooner, I could still be enjoying my junk food now. Oh well. I don't mind. Now I'm really forced to eat healthily.

Anyway, since I can no longer use vinegar, tomatoes and onions for my salad dressing, I invented another way to make my spinach tasty and not bitter. I do this for my Kangkong and other leafy vegetables too. Here's how:
