Milkana Grilled Cheese Sandwiches for a little mid-week treat!

16 December, 2015

When I think about cheese, the first thing that comes to my mind is a grilled cheese sandwich. Short of enjoying just the cheese on its own with maybe some nuts and just a touch of honey, a grilled cheese sandwich to me is the most filling way to enjoy cheese in an unadulterated manner. When Milkana sent some of their dairy products my way, I immediately knew there was going to be some grilled cheese happening. And happen it did! But first let me just show you the Milkana loot I received:

Peach-Jalapeño Grilled Chicken with a side of Doña Maria Rice

Dieting is not an easy feat. There’s a lot of self-control and meditation required to become successful, and sometimes when we go diet-overboard we end up binge-eating all the bad stuff. Yikes! Talk about counter-productive. I happen to firmly believe that eating right doesn’t mean you have to permanently shun out all things that you love. The secret is eating the right things in bigger portions and all the desserts and guilty foods in much smaller ones. Yes, portioning. If you used to eat a whole slice of cake by yourself then learn how to share the other half! Apart from eating right, of course exercising regularly is super important…

Grilled beef with awesomesauce, aka stuff I should make more

20 March, 2015

I hit the jackpot when I came across this recipe from a blog that has now become one of my favourites. The jackpot comes in the form of the Curried Cashew Sauce attached to the beef satay recipe. I want to jump right in and say that this is literally one of the best sauces I’ve ever put in my mouth. If there was ever a sauce I would venture to declare “awesomesauce” this would be it. Even though I know that term is not supposed to be taken literally, I just can’t think of anything more apt to describe this thing. It is THAT good.

Happy days and Homemade Chicken Inasal

30 May, 2014

I really have to learn how to balance my travel diaries to encompass more documentations of food. Whenever I go exploring in a new place, I seem to get so excited over the sights that I kind of forget to chronicle the food. It was no different for my Bacolod trip. You can in fact observe from both of my previous entries that I don’t have much in the way of food there. However I would call it a major mortal sin if one went to Bacolod without so much as a taste of its signature dish, the Bacolod Chicken Inasal. We had one inasal meal at the Chicken House…

{Built From Scratch} Honey Bun Salmon Burgers with a side of fries

15 March, 2012

I’ve never been one to shy away from something that requires more elbow grease than is necessary on my part. Modesty aside, almost everything I do is done with more exertion than most people would normally put in, whether it’s school work, any kind of work, or something for my leisure. The principle is that ‘anything worth doing is worth doing well’. If I am going to dedicate some of my precious time doing something anyway, might as well dedicate some effort to ensure that the results are worth it. During the days when I feel particularly assiduous, I like to build things from the ground up to create something…

{Built from Scratch} Chicken Parmesan Burgers with Garlic Fries

16 November, 2011

While I was thinking about which of my recipes in my backlog to post first, I had an idea: I wanted to make a segment for the blog that would incorporate several recipes from scratch to create one full delicious meal. Burgers seemed like a pretty good starting point, even though to be honest, I’m not much of a burger girl (nor a fastfood girl for that matter). That’s probably why I’ve never thought of making a whole burger from scratch before. For this little project, I was most excited for the bun-making aspect. I guess for people who like bread-making such as myself, any chance to get to make…
