I know that this site has been neglected for quiet a long time now. Sorry for this but I’m so tied up with my work thus I never got the chance to post an update hence I made a thought of closing this foodblog.The only thing that keeps me from doing it is your positive feedbacks. Thus I decided to go on food blogging once in awhile when time permits. I hope you understand. (more…)

My agony started with Day 1, the meal plan was consisted of all kinds of fruits except banana. I survived the first half of the day with ease. Later in the afternoon, I started imagining food while eating apple I dusted with cinnamon. Whoa, the scent of cinnamon reminds me the tasty cinnamon rolls. Crazy as I am, I turned on my pc and started searching for the recipe. Yes I know I was on diet but see, the spirit is indeed willing but the flesh is weak. So I surrendered and baked this delicious sweet cinnamon rolls instead.

Wanna try it?

“Red Curry Beef” is originally a Thai dish. I found this from the recipe book hubby bought me awhile ago. In this excellent dish, the spicy red curry paste with creamy coconut milk and the refreshing aroma of lime leaves are combined. I prepared this recipe for the first time on my last birthday party. I tell you, this was a hit!!! Try this tempting Beef stir fry recipe to spice up your meals!

Hindi nga ba at nakasanayan nating kumain ng mainit na Pandesal sa atin tuwing umaga at kong minsan kahit sa Miryenda? I myself is a Pandesal lover, natigil lang ito ng ako ay lumabas ng bansa. Nakakatikim lang ulit kapag umuuwi. Since inspired ulit akong magluto at mag bake lately, I thought why not try baking Pandesal as well? I searched the net for the recipe and found several kinds. This recipe I’m posting is the one I frequently bake dahil it taste really close to the Pandesal I remember. I got this recipe from Rezipezaar contributed by Najwa.

My husband who came in the kitchen later was shaking his head as he saw the kids faces smeared with chocolate cream. My chocolate monsters had great fun eating the leftovers with their fingers.

To chocolate lovers like me, I’m going to share to you both chocolate chiffon cake and frosting recipe. By the way, this delicious chocolate chiffon cake recipe uses cocoa powder instead of melted chocolate to give it its wonderful taste. Please make sure to use cake flour for this cake.

I unfortunately forgot to save the link of the author, that means I also can’t add her name.

Oh by the way, you need a pastry when baking this Tiramisu recipe. Since I am a lazy cook…I mostly buy a ready made one from the bakery. It makes the preparation time shorter, but just incase you are willing to bake the pastry yourself. (more…)

Stuffed Pepper is an easy and quick recipe to prepare, just like all other recipes I posted earlier. So now let’s us not waste our time with blah blahs, let’s get started.

How to:

Cut tops off peppers and remove seeds and white membrane. Wash peppers to prepare for filling. Mix ground beef, egg, salt and pepper, thyme, onion, garlic, parsley, beef broth and breadcrumbs together and mix well.  Heat oven to 325 degrees or 170 °C. Stuff the meat mixture into the peppers, and place it into a deep baking dish, you may add ¼ cup of water a piece of butter and pinch of salt (this prevent pepper to dry) and bake for 20 minutes. 

When baking time is over, open oven and place one or two slices of mozzarella on top of stuffed pepper and bake it for another 10 to 15 minutes or until mozzarella melt.

Serve hot with rice or pasta with cream or brown sauce.

You can change many of the ingredients in this recipe and still have a great meal. There was no mozzarella when I first learned it. Adding it gives this recipe more taste.
  

Please take note that I prepare a big portion of Broccoli Casserole (Broccoli Auflauf). You have adjust the amount of the ingredients of this recipe for your own needs. So now here’s how:

Cook pasta in plenty of boiling, salted water until just al dente. Peel stems and florets of Broccoli and blanched in salted water. Then slice ham into cubes.

In saucepan, combine milk, flour, creme fraîche, vegetable stock cubes, salt, pepper and nutmeg and cook until slightly thickened.

In a large baking dish, toss cooked pasta, then spread sliced ham over top and add blanced broccoli. Pour sauce over the mixture then sprinkle grated cheese. Bake uncovered for 35 minutes or until cheese is golden brown (if desired).

Guten Appetit!!!

Sa tutuo lang medyo nahirapan ako sa dough dahil dumidikit ito sa kamay ko everytime I tried to flatten it. Yon pala medyo sumobra lang ang tubig kaya ito basa. Basically, it is very easy to do pero siguro ganun lang talaga kapag first timer pa. It’s like as if you are experimenting. Tiyaga lang talaga ang kailangan. Here’s the result of what I made.

 

 

The recipe:

Ingredients:

500 gram glutinous rice flour

3/4 cup water

coconut flakes

white sugar

sesame seeds (toasted)

Mix rice flour with water to make dough. Make little balls then flatten. Boil water in a saucepan. Drop flattened dough balls into boiling water. The cakes are cooked when they float. Remove from water, let cool a little bit, roll in combined sugar and toasted sesame seeds and coconut flakes.
