One of my favorite snack recipe that I learned from Maangchi is Gotgamssam Salgussam. I enjoy how easy it is to make these and I also love how healthy and filling it can be.
It’s been a couple of years since I last made some of these but last week, I was able to buy good quality dried persimmons at our local Korean Market (H-Mart). I also purchased organic dried Turkish Apricots from a Persian market here in Laguna Niguel.
It is always best to use whole walnuts but I only found halves and pieces at Trader Joes.
When you try it, have it with your favorite Tea. Enjoy!
Maíz con hielo is a cold, sweet and refreshing desert snack in the Philippines. We used to make these a lot during the hot and humid summer months when we had no school. It’s a very economical treat and it’s very easy to make even minors can do it themselves (except for opening a canned corn, they will need assistance from a grown-up)
The picture shown on my blog is a special version of Maíz con hielo. I ordered this from a small Filipino restaurant in National City and their version includes a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a small chunk of Leche Flan (Filipino Custard). Really, when you want to make this, you don’t need these special ingredients.

Ingredients:
Canned sweet corn (Whole Kernel or Creamed Style)

In a large glass, put as much canned sweet corn that you like. i usually put 1/4 cup or a little bit more. Then add the shaved ice, sugar (depending on how sweet you want it to be) and milk. That’s it!!! Mix it well before enjoying. You can add any special ingredients like sweetened fruits, nuts, granola, ice cream, etc.
Easy right? I hope you can make some and show me some pictures of what you made. I will make some for my children tomorrow, they love it!
By the way, because we were in a Filipino restaurant, we ordered other delicacies like the Bibingka (Charcoal steamed Rice Cake) and Fresh Lumpiang Ubod (Egg roll Crepe with Palm Hearts and vegetables).

Day after day, my family craves for some sweet and juicy watermelon. We’ve been buying watermelon for more than a week now. Prices are going down and it is getting cheaper and cheaper, truly a bargain. I just bought 2 whole seedless watermelons at Wholefoods Market today for $2.49 each.
Filled with nutrients such as vitamin C and lycopene, our watermelon sure quenches our thirst and fills our hunger.
