Never Too Late for Breakfast



Breakfast is the most important meal for the entire day but due to my constant change of schedule di ko na masunod ang pagkain on the right time.

Since nag-crave ako sa Yang Chow Fried Rice I decided to do another scavenger hunt sa fridge! So I found some na pwedeng ihalo sa bahaw na kanin. ;)

Good Idea!

I saw this pic in Pinterest and I think this is a good idea. I'm planning to do this with an oil based sauce.

Thinking of dried tomatoes and asparagus as main ingredients Also adding some Parmesan cheese on top. This will be my next recipe. Just wait folks! I'll post it once done! :)


Chicken Barbecue side with sautéed Potatoes and Mushroom

Daily Routine: Maghanda ng lunch at 3:30 PM.

Usually wala ng mabili sa palengke kasi sarado na ng ganung oras. Ayaw mo naman pumunta ng SM Savemore sa kanto kasi effort pa. So i decided to check the fridge and do a scavenger hunt. I saw this chicken drumsticks na marinated na, I think its a combination of bbq sauce, sesame oil and some spices. looks like asian bbq marinade. Then I fried it. Yummy!

Then sabi ko parang kulang if I will just serve this. I checked the fridge again and I saw Potatoes, Button Mushrooms, Basil Leaves and crab sticks. Sabi ko matry nga to as side dish (inspired by "Boy Meets Grill" ni Bobby Flay). So I fried the potatoes til its golden brown then mixed garlic and mushrooms. I added butter, crab sticks, salt and pepper. Then top with basil leaves. Hmmmm... sarap pala, especially the basil leaves. Ill do this more often and try diff ingredients.

Cibo's Pomelo Shake

Di ako ma order ng drinks every time we eat here at Cibo Eastwood pero when I saw the "Pomelo Shake" from the list sabi ko ma-try nga to, rare eh...

They're serving it na very fine ang pagkakablend ng ice and the pomelo. Then they put mint leaves on top. 

Refreshing sya, this reminds me of summer vacay in Boracay, yung tipong ka katapos mo lang mag lunch sa Talipapa then tambay na sa shore while drinking this hangang makatulog ka at gigising ka na lang dinner na. Haha!

Now I want to try mixing drinks as a partner of my dish. 


Chicken Kebab

Di ko alam kung anong dapat tawag Kebab ba or Kabab but I've been thinking of doing this to be more familiar with the flavors of spices specifically the cumin and paprika, para masama ko na sya sa ibang "ala-cham" kong luto. *wink*

Finally nagkaron na ko ng lakas ng loob na I try tong recipe na to. Like as usual, watched diff videos and read some comments and tips on how to make sure it is the right flavor or amount of spices.

Baked Salmon side with Chicken Macaroni Salad

Tagal pinag-isipan and muni-muni-han kung ano ang ihahain sa sa New Year's Eve. Then I remembered Baked Salmon ng Conti's. Sabi ko parang complicated ata sya but after a couple of videos in YouTube teaching me how... Ahhhhh ganun lang pala. Now the big question is "How much and Salmon?" 

We went to SM hypermart at dumeretso ako kagad sa seafood section. Walang pumipila sa Salmon! Tanong ako, "Ate magkano kilo?"  "800 php", sagot ni ateng very accommodating. Tinanong ko kung ilang piraso sa isang kilo sabi nya 3 pieces daw, hmmm...pwede na!

Pesto Pasta with Lemon Chicken


Nung bata ako ayoko ng Pesto feeling ko kumakain ako ng lumot. They are correct, as you grow older you appreciate different flavors. Nakatulong din sa evolution ng tastebuds ko and pagtikim sa ibat ibang klaseng pagkain.

So nagtry ako manuod ng iba't ibang videos on how to make your own pesto sauce. Madali lang pala... and as you get comfortable with the flavors of your own ingredients, kaya mo na syang paglaruan.

And here it is... My Pesto Pasta with Lemon Chicken on top...



Here are the ingredients:

Pesto Sauce
Fresh Basil Leaves
Almonds
Olive Oil
Lots of Garlic
Parmesan Cheese
Salt & Pepper
Roasted Sesame Seeds

Lemon Chicken
Chicken Breast Fillet
Olive Oil
Lemon Juice
Salt & Pepper
Garlic ulit...
