Strawberry Salad with Chicken Bits

This has been my diet for the past week, well, since I got back from Baguio basically. I bought some lettuce and strawberries so I really have no choice but to eat them. The other day, I ordered some dishes from Chic-Boy, one of which was a whole roasted chicken, that I haven't finished yet so you can also see chicken bits in my strawberry salad.

Kalye Juan: Yummy and Affordable Pinoy Dishes

The branch of Kalye Juan I've tried is the one at Mall of Asia. Pops was craving for a breakfast meal even if it was already 3pm that day. As for me, Filipino dishes have always been my favorite. So when we saw Kalye Juan's menu plus the affordable prices for such large servings of dishes they offer, we stayed put. Here's what we ordered for only Php500.00:

Our Simple Noche Buena

We didn't visit our family or spent Christmas anywhere but home. It was just the two of us so we figured, there's really no need to prepare that much food. We only had four dishes plus a bottle of fruit wine. The food lasted for two days and we were both happy, which was what mattered the most. Anyway, we just want to share here the four simple dishes we had on Christmas Eve. We won't be sharing the recipes of our two favorites at this time (the pasta and the lamb chops) because they're very special and taste sooooo good that someday, we might be able to make a living out of it, who knows?! Do check out our video blog on Christmas Eve.

Greenwich Pizza for Halloween

I didn't have the time to prepare for a party or to even cook a decent meal. I was up to my neck with work and I still wanted to celebrate Halloween, even it meant partying by myself, at home. Peter was helping me running errands and doing chores while our tenant/friend Princess might have had other plans for that weekend.

Wimpex Oven Toaster Grill Rotisserie

Over the weekend, my husband and I treated ourselves with a brand new mini oven that can bake, toast, grill and practically cook anything. This Wimpex oven has space for extra large capacity of up to 30 liters and my husband, Peter, couldn't be any happier. It uses AC 220V/60Hz 1500W.


Peter will test it this coming Saturday. He plans to cook up a feast by baking some chicken and salmon. But then I couldn't wait. I was craving for some grilled vegetables and baked scrambled egg so yesterday, I used it.


I always eat one egg a day. Yesterday, I scrambled one and added a bit of fresh milk, salt, pepper and Italian herbs in it. I poured the mixture on a bakeware and placed it inside the oven.
