That’s what we had earlier for dinner along with cashew chicken with brown rice and hot tea! For starters, lettuce chicken wrap {family’s fave appetizer} at Molly Woo’s and now we will soon sleep with a full belly! Well,we walked it off a li’l bit inside the mall and also stopped by at a furniture place. Hubby really liked that veggie choice he had and I do too! When I checked out their website, I didn’t expect they’ll give away the recipe and I think I can make this easily…

This is what we had yesterday with the hard work of my friend, Sonia. She is one awesome cook who never runs out of ideas to prepare. Even after Church, she was able to come up with a lot of recipes like the ranch chicken strips that she baked and even her chicken drumsticks with a secret marinade was oh so yummy! Her mung beans soup full of veggies without meat is a hit and the pancit that is oh so tasty! I always love her cooking as well as hubby and as for me and Lorena, we are only good at buying ready made food like pie, strawberry parfait, potato salad and macaroni salad,hehehe!

Can’t resist food that you grow up with no matter where you are in this world. So, at times when my friends and I get together, we always prepare Filipino dish to indulge ourselves from our childhood and enjoy a little taste of Philippines even in a foreign land. Here’s a famous egg in the Philippines which is called “maalat na itlog” means salted eggs. It is best served with soy sauce and fresh red tomatoes on the side!

Another course that will enhance this dish is a fried fish! This one’s a tilapia’s head with tail and all together, they make a perfect combination!

I found this recipe that is so easy to follow and I am quite happy on how my cookies turned out following this recipe:

I was in the mood for cooking last week! So I searched the internet and find something interesting! I spotted a Chicken Lo Mein recipe at this site and so, I tried it! It turns out to be good so if you feel like having Chinese food today…try this one and sure you’d like it!

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
• Marinade:
• 2 teaspoons light soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
• 1/4 teaspoon sesame seed oil
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• Sauce:
• 3/4 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
• 3/4 teaspoon sugar
• Other:
• 1/2 pound Chinese noodles (thin or thick noodles are fine)
• 1 cup shredded carrots (about 1 carrot)
• 1 unce can straw mushrooms
• 3 tablespoons vegetable or peanut oil for stir-frying, or as needed
• 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Salt and pepper to taste, if desired

PREPARATION:

Cut the chicken into thin strips about 2 inches long. (It’s easiest to do this if the chicken is slightly frozen). Add the light soy sauce, rice wine or sherry, sesame oil and the cornstarch. Marinate the chicken for 20 minutes.While the chicken is marinating, prepare the other ingredients: Combine the sauce ingredients in a bowl and set aside.Cook the noodles in boiling water until they are cooked al dente (tender but still firm).

This will take about 3 minutes for fresh noodles, and 4 - 5 minutes for dried noodles. Drain, rinse with cold water, and drain again.Cut the carrot into thin strips to match the chicken. Rinse the straw mushrooms under running water to remove any “tinny” taste. Drain thoroughly.Heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium high to high heat. Add the garlic, stir-fry for a few seconds until aromatic, then add the chicken. Stir-fry the chicken until it changes color and is 80 percent cooked. (If you need more oil, try adding 1 tablespoon water). Remove the chicken and clean out the wok.Heat 2 tablespoons oil and the salt in the wok. Add the carrots and mushrooms. Stir-fry for 1 minute, then add the chicken. Add the noodles, stirring to mix in with the other ingredients. Add the sauce into the wok, mixing with the other ingredients.Cook for 2 more minutes. Taste and add salt or pepper if desired. Serve hot.

Whenever you I hear the words “Chicken Noodle Soup”, comfort food comes to my mind! It is one great soup that you would surely appreciate if you have it around whenever you are sick! Somehow, the salty and hot soup makes you breathe a little better and gives you a little comfort! Since my family are all sick today, I made one and surely they enjoyed it! I just thought of all ingredients that would make up the soup and came up with this…

Chicken-Egg Noodle Soup

8 oz. egg noodles
1 skinless boneless chicken breast, diced
4 cups of water
1 onion bulb, chopped
clove of garlic, minced
5 leaves of onion chives
2 stems of cut up celery
1/2 cup evaporated milk
salt & pepper

Fry garlic & onion in a hot oil. Add chicken, let the juice from the chicken comes out then pour water, let it boil. Add egg noodles, let it simmer for 8mins. Pour milk, simmer for another 5mins. Add celery and chives. Dash it w/ salt & pepper to taste. Simmer until veggies are done.

I normally dig through recipes online whenever I get sick and tired of the same ‘ol recipe that I know of! Not really your Martha Stuart type of cook, just an ordinary Rachel Ray in the house (well, not quite) She’s a chef and I’m not, she’s expert on food and I’m not,LoL! So, what’s our common ground? A messy kitchen! Everything’s all over the place and she just doesn’t care like I do!LoL! When it comes to cooking for breakfast, don’t count on me! I could only offer you toasted bread with butter or a cereal in a bowl with a cold milk (how convenient!). Well, this time, I’m changing…I’m changing for good! I made an easy breezy basic crepe (just for once or twice and never again…lol!) Oh well, it challenged me as the not-morning person cook! I also tried something entirely different from what I grew up with, a tuna noodle casserole! For recipes visit here!
