Small Portions

Now that I'm (trying) to go back to getting my groove back a.k.a. post preggy bod (yes, my target is 120 lbs), I'm trying to get into this so called small portions only for every meal.. and since weekend is the only time I get to be the Boss in my kitchen, today, I made our favorite ( I + hubby) taco salad and garlic baby potatoes and mushrooms... It was a big hit in our dining table :)


For the Taco Salad:

Bag of Mexican Yellow Corn Chips
Shredded Cabbage
Diced Ripe Tomatoes
Diced Onions
Grated Cheddar Cheese

For the Meat:
Saute the chopped onion is 2 tablespoon of olive oil. add 1/2 Kilo Ground Lean Beef and cook for 5 minutes, add 1/4 cup of red wine and let it simmer until the beef absorbs the wine. add 2 table spoon of tomato paste. add salt and pepper to taste. mix then add 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon powder. Mix and serve hot.

Lay corn chips on plate, topped with meat and veggies and finish with grated cheese.  Ole!

For Garlic Baby Potatoes and Mushroom

Clean and boil Baby Potatoes in water with iodized salt.

Saute 1 clove chopped garlic in 2 tablespoon Olive Oil (do not burn it!) remove from the pan once its golden brown. Using the same pan, saute mushroom (canned or fresh) and add 1/2 teaspoon of garlic salt with parsley (i used Lawry's). add the boiled Baby Potatoes and drizzle with 1/4 cup butter. dash with Thyme before serving.


My mother-in-law gave me this Lawry's garlic salt,
McCormick has the same seasoning available in our local supermarkets

Bon Appetit!

That fan girl inside of me

When I was a kid, TV is the closest thing I have to be in the same room of someone famous like hollywood famous. Then when I was in high school, I branched out to these imported teen magazines .. Tiger Beat.. anyone? And spend  daydreaming for hours with the guys of Beverly Hills 90210, Saved by the Bell, Blossom,  etc.. Afterwards, I get to go to concerts once I could pay for them and see artists live on stage... Sometimes I'm lucky and get to see them for free ( I'm saying A-List Zac Efron & sexy vampire Ian Somerhalder on stage).

But the cut above the rest, is when a tweet of mine gets noticed by Hollywood actors that I looooove and admire. Technology is so awesome that I never have imagined that there will come a time that I get to experience this. That's why I love Twitter more.. it gets me connected to my favorite Hollywood stars.

Piper Perabo and Chris Gorham stars of CW's Covert Affairs and Patrick J. Adams stars as Mike Ross in Suits

Shane West of NIKITA / A Walk to Remember, re-tweet my message after reading his sisters' novel
Hope you'll get that fan girl tweet of yours soon ...
