Jan Is Cooking

Hi friends 🙂 I’ve been very busy with FoodBuzz and my food blog lately. Cooking is somewhat an expensive hobby (and unhealthy too if not moderated) but it suddenly gave meaning to my blogging. I miss the interaction I have with my readers. And that’s something I’ve really enjoyed with Warlock Nation and am enjoying now with I Love. Therefore, I Cook.

Here are the recipes I posted while I’m away here in Yada and some of you might be eager to try on something new, so check my food blog out please 🙂

• Strawberry Vinaigrette – perfect for a simple salad greens with an overload of apples, grapes, cherry tomatoes and Parmesan Cheese
• Banana Cream Pie – a luscious no-bake dessert that’s easy to make
• Pandan Iced Tea – a refreshing home-made iced tea
• Half-Baked Half-Grilled Pork Bellies w/ Coca Cola BBQ Sauce – a special home-made bbq sauce using a regular Coke that’s basted on tender pork bellies
• Strawberry Banana Trifle – another no-bake dessert with a simple home-made strawberry yogurt as topping
• Decadent Chocolate Cupcakes w/ Tangy Cream Cheese Calamansi Sauce – an adventurous but delicious twist to your usual chocolate which is paired with calamansi

I also did a restaurant review for C2 or Classic Cuisine and an informative post on what a Ceviche is 🙂

I’ll be there most of the time but I will drop by from time to time to check up on you 😛

Take care!

Menu for Mom’s Birthday

After painstakingly planning for two nights in a row, and after preparing for two nights prior to that for my BFF’s lunch, I was able to come up with my menu for Mom’s birthday on July 10.

• Appetizer: Ecuadorian Shrimp Ceviche
• Salad: My take on Cyma’s Roka Salata
• Pasta: Spaghetti (for long life) with 5 Fresh Herbs and Goat Cheese
• Entree: Simple Baked Lemon Chicken (not Kotopoulo Lemonato)
• Drink: Agua de Sandia (watermelon with lime)
• Dessert: Tartelette Aux Fruit (mini fruit tarts)
• Coffee: Kapeng Barako with Muscovado sugar blocks
• Afternoon Tea: Earl Grey and assorted pastries

I don’t know if I should take out the pasta and afternoon tea and just serve a baked pasta dish for merienda.

Need more fine-tuning on this one but at least I now have a fair idea of what I’ll come up with.

So tired now. Goodnight!
