Cajun Chicken Pasta

This is my Filipino version of Cajun Chicken Pasta that I got from The Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond‘s blog. Now, If you don’t know who she is, quick! do click the link to her name and believe me, you WILL spend hours reading her blog.

I know, my pasta pales in comparison with hers, LOL, but hey, the kids got clean plates and even asked for seconds. I used Italian seasoning (combination of different herbs) instead of Cajun seasoning which I’m not sure can be found in the supermarkets. I must look harder next time. We have had this several times since I first tried to cook it.

Now excuse me while I go looking for hot tub covers online 🙂

Ingredients here just in case.

Chocolate Surprise Cookies

Been trying to bake new goodies to give as our Christmas gifts. Yeah, frugal Christmas it is. Again.

Of course, I get to eat what I bake and needless to say, I got four very satisfied family members who love to gobble up the goodies.

So is it any surprise that I look like I am in dire need of the best weight loss supplements?

Chocolate surprise cookies which were good especially when eaten warm. Great with coffee or milk.

Yakiniku Beef Sandwich

Have you tried Yakiniku beef? It looks like bacon, only beef. We absolutely super duper love it!

That’s my Yakiniku beef and egg sandwich (I prefer it a bit burnt to remove excess fat) and vegetable salad. Sunquick orange juice to wash down the food. Yum.

I know, this has fats attached to it but I don’t really eat it because it’s “bawal” bummer. The kids have this as their lunch. Here is my Yakiniku beef and mushroom and what I make for them ala-Jo****** beef and mushroom meal 🙂

Here by the way is a controversial issue about Yakiniku beef but not about the quality but something that involved a plagiarist 😉

I was looking for articles about custom laptops when friends alerted me about the controversial issue. Hmph.

Mahirap kaya magluto at kumuha ng magandang picture tapos they will say these are theirs.

Care for a Cup?

Coffee. It might be true that for some, coffee , not blood, runs in their veins 😉 and yes, even the burps smell like coffee.

I love coffee. My husband and I share a big cup every morning. It is our daily morning ritual.Nothing as fancy as this though, just plain coffee with cream and sugar will do.

The superbly cool weather is a perfect excuse to have a cup or two while sitting in front of an Amish fireplace. Perfect bed weather solution.

Vegetable Salad

Lettuce, onions,cucumber, tomatoes and grapes. Yumm-o.

I love vegetable salads and this one was unique because it was prepared by a friend and shared by friends too.

My youngest child eats this kind of food because I prepare this at home too. My little boy is not fond of vegetable salad though and seems like he has built-in radar detectors and hides every time I call him to taste the vegetable salads I have prepared 😀
