Baked Creamy Mushroom Chicken

01.31.2014 by Leah // 2 Comments

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 ...

The 3-Step Tomato Basil Pasta

07.18.2013 by Leah // 6 Comments

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 ...

Pasta in Olive Oil and Spanish Sardines

03.14.2013 by Leah // Leave a Comment

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.    It was so good I promised myself I will make one home for AJ. And so, armed with a bottle of Spanish-style Sardines that was given to me as Christmas gift, plump tomatoes and basil ... READ MORE

Easy Bacon Pesto Pasta

10.08.2012 by Leah // 5 Comments

My family and relatives love, love my bacon pesto pasta and they always ask me to make one whenever there's an occasion, or simply when they are craving for it. Did you know that it takes only two (2) ingredients to make my mean pesto sauce? And because I'm feeling happy today I'm gonna share my secret recipe with you.  There's nothing magic about it, really, and yet ... READ MORE

Hot Dog + Pork and Beans Medley

10.06.2012 by Leah // Leave a Comment

Our breakfast last Sunday: My dad first made this recipe and we used to have this as breakfast back when I was still single. So last Sunday, instead of making the usual hotdog and scrambled egg combo for breakfast, I pulled out a can of small pork and beans from the pantry to make my dad's exact recipe.    I used my Saladmaster 10-inch sauce pan for this. All you ... READ MORE

Hot Pot Sate Broth

07.24.2012 by Leah // 2 Comments

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

07.07.2012 by Leah // Leave a Comment

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 ...

I'm glad I invested in this Freshair 3 air and sur I'm glad I invested in this Freshair 3 air and surface purifier last year. It's the only air purifier in the market with proven technology to kill 99.96% of Airborne and 99.98% of Surface SARS-CoV-2 👍 I had it placed in the office so I don't need to bring anymore my portable UV sterilizer and portable plasma ion purifier. With Manila on extended GCQ and the vaccine roll-out still being finalized, we cannot afford to be complacent. Mas lalo pa dapat mag-ingat with various new strains coming out, too 😬 Safety should be our top priority 👍 @freshairpurifiers

Hi Daddy! Lapit na ang birthday mo, and you will c Hi Daddy! Lapit na ang birthday mo, and you will celebrate it in heaven na ☁️☁️☁️ Pero kasama mo pa rin kami magce-celebrate. Same as last year, we will celebrate it at home dahil may #covid_19 pa rin. You will remember that last year, yours is the first birthday we celebrated in quarantine. I just came from Baguio (for work) and  someone from our group tested positive. Hindi na tayo nakapagpa-picture dahil puro nasa #covid_19 ang attention natin. We miss you, daddy! I hope you like your flowers today, mas marami na green leaves kaysa flowers. Just the way you like it. 💚💚 #theoriginalplantito
