It's been a while since I shared a Saladmaster recipe. In case you don't know yet, I partnered up with my sis-in-law Juvvy 2 years ago so we can buy a Saladmaster cooking set for ourselves. The set was a very expensive one, but we managed to fit it into our budgets by splitting the items in the set, thus splitting the cost too. We got 3 items each. Since then, I've been ... READ MORE
The 3-Step Tomato Basil Pasta
This is probably the easiest pasta dish I've made so far. I've read a lot of recipes for Tomato Basil Pasta but this is the only one that appealed to me because aside from using ingredients that are readily available in the grocery or your kitchen's pantry, there are only 3 steps to follow to make it! And what's more, you'll be amazed at how close the taste of this pasta ... READ MORE
Pasta in Olive Oil and Spanish Sardines
This recipe was inspired by the Angel Hair Pasta with Spanish Sardines and Broccoli that my sis-in-law, Juvvy, prepared during my short stay in Cebu. She paired it with Hungarian Sausages.

Hot Pot Sate Broth
We had some guests two (2) weeks ago, my Ninang (godmother) and cousin Ineng. Since my mom has left-over frozen gyozas (Japanese dumplings), I decided to make a Hot Pot Sate Broth. This is a shabu-shabu dish wherein you prepare the broth, set it in a really warm pot (much better if you have a camping burner so it'll simmer continuously) and the guests will add the uncooked ...

How I turned a soup into a pasta
It was raining the whole of last week and the weather made me crave for a hot soup dish - the chicken macaroni soup, to be exact. So last Sunday, I excitedly cooked my first soup dish following this recipe (but I did away with some ingredients like the hotdogs and eggs) and then took out our soup bowls for the soup. AJ and I were already drooling over a hot soup that would ... READ MORE
