Making my own Avocado Smoothie

My dad came home with large and ripe avocados so I thought fast of what to to do with these soon to rot babies!

I forgot which website I got this very simple recipe but thanks to Google! The only twist I did was I did not measure the ingredients. I only trusted my instincts which I do most of the time when it comes to cooking.

What you're gonna need are the following:

The avocados of course...

yogurt. I used 2 cups of yogurt but you can add more because it tastes light actually.

And I forgot to add a picture of honey. But you already know how it looks so...XD But beware of some honey! Some are fake and some are adulterated or added with water! I use raw honey which was bought from the province. It's fresh from the mountains. The bees there are not cultured according to the trusted neighbors.

Now let's start making the smoothie!

 Spoon the avocados out and put it in a container. Put the container in the fridge and wait for 3-4 hours, or more depending on how fast your freezer....freezes(?!) food.

When the avocados are already frozen, put it on a blender along with the yogurt. Since we don't have a smoothie maker, I used blender instead. But I suggest a smoothie maker since the recipe does not require water. The blender struggled breaking the avocados into smooth texture but it still did the job. 

AAAAAND...VOILA!

The avocado smoothie is done!! Just add some honey and mix it with a spoon. It tastes a bit bitter and a bit sour because of the yogurt so I recommend some sweetener. I used honey for a more healthy and smooth option but you can also use sugar or stevia.

So that's the simple recipe! Enjoy!

The first cake to be perfectly-baked

The past cakes I baked all failed thanks to my poor skills but I eventually gave room for improvement and the result is this! Yes, I know there's no frosting but it still tastes heaven! As you can notice, it is neither moist nor too dry. I think this is quite alright! :D

New Recipe for a New Year

Happy New Year! 

Sorry for not posting for almost 2 months! Lol anyway, let me share you another recipe and my mom assisted me on this since I do not know how to transform something ready-to-eat into a more delightful one with an addition of different ingredients.

In this recipe, I've combined the traditional way of making a tomato sauce and the modern way which is simply buying a large sachet of tomato sauce and putting it on a pan. XD

I don't know what to call this recipe but it's simply a Tomato Sauce. 

First things first, you need:

- Tomato Sauce (preferably Italian Style)

- Pasta (wheat pasta is more nutritious; white pasta will also do)

- Bacon (more like salt pork)

- Red Wine (optional)

- Cream Cheese (optional)

- Carrots, brunoise

- Onion, brunoise

- Garlic, brunoise

- Salt, white pepper & sugar to taste

Procedure:

1. Mise en Place. Prepare all the ingredients most especially the ingredients that need to be chopped so that what could only be done is put all these in a pan later on. This is preferably done while the pasta is being cooked.

2. Kinda shred the bacon. It doesn't necessarily need to be placed all around the pan lol. The bacon will produce the oil needed while cooking.

3. When the bacon is cooked, put in the carrots.

3. When the carrots turn golden brown or its sides have browned, put the onion.

4. When the onion goes transparent, put the garlic.

5. When the garlic turns brown, pour the tomato sauce in the pan and give it a stir once in a while when it boils. A skimmer is required on this process. 

6. This is optional. I put cream cheese on the sauce. It looks kinda icky but it does not affect the taste. The appearance will improve once mixed with the pasta. :)

7. Sprinkle sugar, pepper & salt to the tomato sauce. It is quite bland at first but it will improve with the help of these ingredients. It won't give off sweet taste but it won't also give you a too-sour-for-your-liking taste XD

Til the next post!

Making my own Kimchi Fried Rice

So this is my first time posting a recipe and it makes me feel kinda proud that I was able to blog one. Lol more in the future, I guess.

This Kimchi Fried Rice is Bibimbap-inspired (kinda made up of mostly veggies) and Korean foods are known because of balance. Though it tastes spicy, it doesn't make you feel bloated. It's just that in food presentation, it will make you feel like you won't be able to finish eating it. Just my opinion.

Without further ados, let's begin. x)

One Sunday morning, I decided to cook Kimchi Fried Rice as my breakfast. I was looking for a ground pork but we don't have it in the fridge so I used the leftover meat instead.

Kimchi Fried Rice 

(with my own twist)

Ingredients:

1 pack of kimchi (can be either small or large, depends on what you want)

Leftover rice
cooking oil

1-2 cloves of garlic

1 onion

1 tbsp. sesame oil

1 egg

Procedure:

1. Set up first the basic ingredients.

2. Chop the onion and garlic. You may also want to chop the Kimchi a bit and extract its juice/liquid.

3. After the Mise en Place, set up the pan on the stove ofc. Then after a while, check if it's kinda heated already. That's the time to pour the right amount of cooking oil. Let the oil be until it's a bit hot then saute the onion and garlic for few minutes.

4. Then add now the kimchi.

5. Let it cook for awhile then add the leftover food. Our leftover food is a beef marinated in soy sauce, black pepper and calamansi so it tastes kinda spicy but at the same time sour. These add to the Kimchi's taste. 

6. After adding the meat, give it a toss then pour the juice/kimchi liquid. Leave it for a while til it kinda simmers.

7. Add the rice. 

8. Toss the fried rice a bit then lower the heat. Pour 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.

9. Mix it a bit with the rice then crack an egg. 

sorry for the blurry pic. v^^

10. Mix it with the rice till it cooks then tadah! The Kimchi fried rice is ready to serve.
