Baked Spaghetti

05.06.2012 by Leah // 1 Comment

AJ and I love to cook pasta.   I do the sauce and he cooks the pasta.  That's always been our assignments, because I don't know how to cook a perfect al dente pasta hehe.  I am afraid of high heat in the gas stove and the first time I cooked pasta noodles, it was a disaster haha!   Half of the noodles did not cook properly and stuck together. But now with my Saladmaster ... READ MORE

Baked Barbeque Chicken

04.29.2012 by Leah // 8 Comments

I used our Saladmaster Electric Skillet for this recipe and for the first time, AJ and I were able to make a barbeque dish where the meat was cooked well both inside and outside.   We actually bought a Neoflam grill pan last year specifically for grilled and barbeque dishes.    But we almost always end up with a half-done grilled dish because the inside part of the meat was ...

Arroz Valenciana

This is a very flavorful (not to mention colorful) dish that can be eaten alone (read: no need for ulam or viand), or paired with other meat dishes.    I saw Kuya Rene do this when they cooked for us, and it is one of the dishes I immediately wanted to try when I got my Saladmaster cookware. I used my oil-core electric skillet for this and below is my "output" (*beams with ... READ MORE

Five Spice Pork Noodles

03.29.2012 by Leah // 3 Comments

Got this recipe from the July 2011 issue of Yummy Magazine.   This particular issue was such a gem - I'm able to try 3 recipes already, all from this same magazine!     This one is my 4th, and I used my Saladmaster gourmet pan to make this (although the Wok Pan would be perfect for this). It's my first time to prepare an egg noodle dish and am glad this one's fairly easy to ... READ MORE

Steamed Fish Dory

03.26.2012 by Leah // 6 Comments

We couldn't wait to use our Saladmaster cookware so AJ and I stopped at the grocery yesterday to buy the ingredients for our dinner that night.    We liked the steamed fish dory that we sampled at the Saladmaster dinner we booked for my godmother/aunt the night before, so we decided to make that. This no-fuss recipe is so easy to do and I calculated the cooking time to be ... READ MORE

#throwback to Easter 2019 when @ajdeleon77 and I t #throwback to Easter 2019 when @ajdeleon77 and I took mommy and daddy to a double date at Rockwell Powerplant. Today is daddy's 11th month in heaven 💜 The coming weeks are sure going be tough for me because the painful memories from last year will start coming back as we approach his 1st death anniversary. I miss our family bonding time whether in Cebu or Makati, at the mall or simply at home. The over-extended quarantine has made it very difficult for us create new memories as a family (outside videocalls, that is). But I know that with God's grace we will overcome. 🙏

More than half of the leaves dried up.  But look, new buds have started to say 'Hi' just last week 🤗 Need talaga ng patience kapag #plantita ka. 😁
