Easy to Cook Chicken Curry

January 18, 2019 0 Comments
For me, the real test of being a mother is to prepare and cook meals for the family. What more if you are a stay at home mom? You will do all the household chores, even if you don't know anything, you will learn eventually.

Cooking seems to be a great hobby and skills that everyone should learn. Thanks to bloggers and vloggers out there who shares their passion for cooking. A lot of recipes you want to learn is just a click away. Just search, read then watch some of their videos. And so I did.
A few weeks ago, I tried cooking the Chicken Curry.
Been fed up of crispy fried chicken, tinola, adobo, and asado - common Filipino dishes.
My kids should know that chicken has other taste aside from their usual fried chicken.
I make sure to make them taste my new recipe. I am so happy that they told me, masarap (delicious). They ate what I served them at that time.

The ingredients were not complete but it turned out fine. I did not have laurel leaves and bell pepper but still delicious.

So I will share with you my version of Chicken Curry.



Here are the Ingredients:

1/2 kilo of chicken
2-3 tablespoon curry powder
1 sachet coconut milk powder or in can
black pepper
salt/ other seasonings (magic sarap)
1 large carrot
1 large potato
1 bell pepper (optional)

1. Peel and cut the carrot and potato. Fry them and set aside.
2. Cut the chicken into a bite-size, wash, seasoned with magic sarap or other seasoning and then fry.
3. Sautee garlic and onion. Add the chicken, stir and let absorb the taste of garlic and onion.
4. Add curry powder, pepper, bell pepper. Add a little water and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
5. Finally add the potato, carrot, and coconut milk powder (dissolve in a half cup of water) or coconut milk in a can. Add some more seasoning according to your taste. Continue to simmer until the sauce thickens. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.

This mildly spicy Asian-inspired dish is a great way to spruce up a boring meal. Try it at home. Super easy and yummy.

Homemade Birthday Cake: No Bake Oreo Cheesecake

August 09, 2018 0 Comments


If you ask me what's one of my many favorite desserts, definitely I will tell you first it is cheesecake. Whatever flavor of cheesecake, I will eat it. The first time I did my own recipe was when I turned 29 this year. Last March was my birth month and I decided to make my own cake. Not baked because we didn't have an oven, it was a no-bake cheesecake. I just searched online and watched youtube videos for ingredients and how to do the no-bake cheesecake. Just be mindful of the ingredients to be used, there are expensive and affordable which they still have the same taste. So if you want to lessen the expenses, go for much cheaper but still have the same result after all. 

I didn't have a mixer on the first time, so it wasn't thickened the creams. But I have the cake mold that we bought at Lazada when they have a sale. In my second time, I didn't have a mold but I have the mixer that my husband brought from Dubai. I used the Pyrex bowl for my cake turned into ice cream oreo cheesecake when it was frozen.

Actually, my husband requested the cake. He's been excited to use the mixer he bought for me. I want to learn more about baking and mixer is one of the many kitchen tools that I need the most. He bought the mixer in an online shopping site based in UAE - awok.com. It only cost 1AED! WOW, right? 

For my first time, here are the ingredients I used:
☑️Oreo Biscuits 
☑️Buttercup
☑️Magnolia Cream Cheese
☑️Alaska Condensada 
☑️Anchor Whipping Cream
☑️Sugar
☑️Mr. Gulaman Jelly Powder (white, no flavor)
☑️Vanilla
☑️sprinkles 
☑️Milky Marie Biscuits




For the second time, here are the Ingredients I used:

☑️Emborg Cream Cheese
☑️Buttercup 
☑️Nestle Cream (Thickens)
☑️Alaska Cremdensada (thick cream)
☑️ Don frank Gulaman powder (white)
☑️vanilla
☑️sugar
☑️Oreo biscuits
☑️Grahams



Here's my own version of No Bake Oreo Cheesecake:


1. Melt the butter in a pan or in a microwave oven. Mix it with crushed biscuits like Marie or Graham then add some sugar. Pressed into cake pan or any bowl like Pyrex. I used the bottom of a glass to press the crumbs. Set aside and chill in the refrigerator.

2. Beat cream cheese. It's up to you if you want more 2-3 packs of cream cheese. Add some sugar and vanilla. Set aside.

3. Nestle cream is much cheaper than Anchor whipping cream, just beat it to make it thick. But you can buy one thick cream, already available in the supermarket. 

4. Mix the thick cream and cream cheese. Beat together then add some oreo. Optional.

5. Boil the jelly and add to the mixture. Use water or milk to boil. Mix well.

6. Ready to put the mixture to the chilled crumbs then top some oreo for decoration. My kids asked for sprinkles to decor my first ever cheesecake. It turned out so sweet. So I suggest reducing the amount of sugar or condensed milk if you will add sprinkles.
Chill 7-8 hours.

Enjoy your dessert.

It was my birthday, so I feel so good making my cake. I have to feel good about everything. I may not be born with a silver spoon but God gave us the gift of life; it is up to us to give ourselves the gift of living well. Do what makes you happy.
